8.       ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK

‘Statutory Guideline 04/09: Preliminary approvals that affect a local planning
instrument’ provides guidance on the process to assess and decide an application for
preliminary approval to which section 242 of the SPA applies.

This requires the assessment manager to:
   • Assess the proposed development against sections 313 and 314 of the SPA,
       without considering the proposed variations to the planning scheme
   • Assess the proposed variations against section 316 of the SPA, while
       considering the
           o results of the assessment that were carried out under sections 313
               and 314 of the SPA
           o application against the local planning instrument other than the parts
               which are sought to be varied

In assessing this development particular significance will be given to the matters
mentioned in section 314 of SPA to the extent that they are relevant.
