3.1 Assessment of Substantially Different Development

Schedule 1: Substantially different development of the Development Assessment Rules (Version 1.1 dated 11
August 2017) provides guidance on determining if a proposed change to a development approval results in a
substantially different development.

Although it depends on the individual circumstances of the development, the Development Assessment Rules
provides a list of changes that may result in substantially different development. These criteria are provided
below, along with an assessment of how the proposal meets each requirement.

     1. The proposed changes do not involve a new use.

          Comment: The overall development is retained as an integrated multiple dwelling development and 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 proposed minor change applies to the same parcel of land as the current development
          approval.

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

          Comment: Built form does not substantially differ from the existing approval, with buildings and
          structures sited and oriented in similar locations.

     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 minor
          change approval.

     6. The proposed changes do not significantly impact on traffic flow and the transport network, such as
        increasing traffic to the site.
