          and communal recreation facilitates. There are no new uses proposed that would create different or
          additional impacts.

          The proposed amended development is therefore not anticipated as having different or additional
          impacts to that which has previously assessed and determined as appropriate.

     2. The proposed changes do not result in the application applying to a new parcel of land.

          Comment: The majority of changes relate to the same parcel of land as the current development
          approval. However, there is a minor realignment of the proposed internal private road to facilitate the
          construction of the maintenance building within the adjacent Precinct E2 (which is also the subject of a
          concurrent minor change application). Whilst the proposal apples to both the existing parcel and a new
          parcel of land (albeit a minor part), it is considered that this of itself does not make the development
          “substantially different development”. We contend that, having regard to the individual circumstances,
          the inclusion of an additional land parcel does not result in substantially different development, based on
          the following:
               No change to external access to the site is proposed.
               Inclusion of the additional land relates only relates to a minor realignment of a private road to
                   improve circulation and to accommodate the new maintenance building within adjacent Precinct
                   E2.
               A separate but concurrent Minor Change application has been lodged with Council in respect of
                   Precinct E2 to ensure the new internal road alignment is consistent between the two precincts.

          The amended private road alignment will be reflected in future access easements associated with the
          related reconfiguration approval which was issued by Council on 11 November 2017.

     3. The proposed changes do not dramatically change the built form in terms of scale, bulk and
        appearance.

          Comment: The proposed changes seek to retain the general building layout, with some minor redesign
          and re-siting of buildings to vary the unit mix to meet market demands and achieve construction
          efficiency. The overall built form and scale will remain the same i.e. a mix of 2-3 storey buildings with
          basement carparking, designed to step down the slope so as to respect the site’s topography and
          minimise visual impacts.

     4. The proposed changes do not change the ability of the proposal to operate as intended.

          Comment: The proposed changes will not affect the ability of the proposal to operate as intended i.e. as
          an integrated residential community.

     5. The proposed changes do not remove a component that is integral to the operation of the
        development.

          Comment: The proposed changes do not seek to remove any components from the previous permissible
          change approval. Instead, the changes seek to reduce the overall number of units, whilst resulting in a
