4. ASSESSMENT
The applicant seeks to make a minor change to the existing development approval under Section 78
of the Planning Act 2016. An application for a minor change to a development approval can only be
made in circumstances where a change would constitute a ‘minor change’.

An assessment of the proposed changes against the provisions of the Planning Act 2019 relating to
what defines a minor change is detailed below. The Planning Act 2016 states that a minor change:

      b) for a development approval, is a change to the approval that —

          (i) would not result in a substantially different development; and
          (ii) if a development application for the development, including the change, were made
          when the change application is made would not cause—

              (A) the inclusion of prohibited development in the application; or
              (B) referral to a referral agency, other than to the chief executive, if there were no
              referral agencies for the development application; or
              (C) referral to extra referral agencies, other than to the chief executive; or
              (D) a referral agency, in assessing the application under section 55(2), to assess the
              application against, or have regard to, a matter, other than a matter the referral agency
              must have assessed the application against, or had regard to, when the application
              was made; or
              (E) public notification if public notification was not required for the development
              application.

The proposed changes are considered to constitute a minor change as per the Planning Act as
detailed below:

       The proposed changes to the use will not result in substantially different development as
          detailed in 4.1 below;

          If the application including the proposed changes were remade it would not:
                  - Include prohibited development
                  - Require referral to any referral agencies or additional referral agencies as no
                       referral agencies are triggered by the use or site location
                  - Require referral to extra referral agencies as no referral agencies are triggered
                       by the use or the site location
                  - No referral agencies triggered
                  - Public notification was carried out as part of original development application.
