Permissible Change Assessment
Section 367 of Sustainable Planning Act 2009 states:
(1) A permissible change, for a development approval, is a change to the approval that
would not—
(a) result in a substantially different development; or
In respect to what constitutes a ‘substantially different development’, specific reference is
made to the statutory guidelines pursuant to section 769 of the SPA (Statutory Guideline
06/09):
“Although it will depend on the individual circumstances of the development, the following list
identifies changes that may result in a substantially different development and would,
therefore, not be a minor change or permissible change under the SPA. This list is intended as
a guide to assist assessment managers and applicants to determine whether a change will
result in a substantially different development and is not intended to be exhaustive.
Involves a new use with different or additional impacts.
Comment: The proposed changes do not establish any new uses with different or
additional impacts.
Results in the application applying to a new parcel of land.

scale, bulk and appearance

Impacts on infrastructure provision from a location or demand.

(b) if the application for the approval were remade including the change—
(i) require referral to additional concurrence agencies;
Comment: The proposed change would not require the application to be referred to
additional concurrence agencies.
or
(ii) for an approval for assessable development that previously did not
require impact assessment—require impact assessment; or
Comment: The original application required code assessment and the proposed
change does not change this assessment level.
(c) for an approval for assessable development that previously required impact
assessment—be likely, in the responsible entity’s opinion, to cause a person to
make a properly made submission objecting to the proposed change, if the
circumstances allowed; or
Comment: The original application required code assessment.
(d) cause development to which the approval relates to include any prohibited
development.
Comment: The proposed change does not propose the inclusion of any prohibited
development.
(2) For deciding whether a change is a permissible change under subsection (1)(b) or (d),
the planning instruments or law in force at the time the request for the change was
made apply (the applicable law).
Comment: There has been no change to the planning scheme or applicable law since the original
approval.
Conclusion
In light of the above, it is considered that the proposed changes to the development comply with the
provisions of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, as they are minor in nature and do not offend the
intent of the original approval. Approval of the request to change the development approval is
therefore warranted.
