The following reasons support the request for a minor change approval:

       ▪   The proposed development will infill an existing patio and therefore, will have no
           additional impact on the site or surrounding locality.
       ▪   Given the above, there will also be no additional impact on the amenity of
           adjoining or nearby properties.
       ▪   In relation to the Coastal Protection and Scenic Amenity Overlay, as above the
           proposed development will infill and existing patio and therefore will have no
           additional impact on the local dune system or surrounding ecosystem.


It is considered that the proposed change constitutes a minor change (section 81) to an
existing development approval under section 78, subdivision 2 of the Planning Act 2016.

Yours Sincerely,

Joe Sevillano

                       Substantially Different Development Test
1. An assessment manager or responsible entity may determine that the change is a minor
   change to a development application or development approval, where – amongst other
   criteria – a minor change is a change that would not result in ‘substantially different
   development’.
2. An assessment manager or responsible entity must determine if the proposed change
   would result in substantially different development for a change—
      a. made to a proposed development application the subject of a response given
           under section 57(3) of the Act and a properly made application.
      b. made to a development application in accordance with part 6.
      c. made to a development approval after the appeal period.
3. In determining whether the proposed change would result in substantially different
   development, the assessment manager or referral agency must consider the individual
   circumstances of the development, in the context of the change proposed.
4. A change may be considered to result in a substantially different development if the
   proposed change:
a) involves a new use; or                      The proposal does not involve a new use.

b) results in the application applying to a    The proposed development does not require an
  new parcel of land; or                       application for a new parcel of land.
c) dramatically changes the built form in      The proposed change will not dramatically

                                               development.
d) changes the ability of the proposed         The minor change will not affect the ability of the
  development to operate as intended; or       development to operate as intended.
e) removes a component that is integral        The proposal does not remove an integral part of

g) introduces new impacts or increase          The site was approved for a residential use and this
  the severity of known impacts; or            use will remain. There are no new impacts.
