Division 6                  Changing applications

Subdivision 1               Preliminary

131      Meaning of minor change
              A minor change, for an application, is any of the following
              changes to the application—
              (a)    a change that merely corrects a mistake about the name
                     or address of the applicant;
              (b)    a change of applicant;
              (c)    a change that merely corrects a spelling or grammatical
                     error;
              (d)    a change that the administering authority is satisfied
                     would not adversely affect the ability of the authority to
                     assess the changed application, unless the change would
                     have the effect that the type of application is changed.


Subdivision 2               Procedure for changing
                            applications

132      Changing application
        (1)   Before an application is decided, the applicant may change
              the application by giving the administering authority—
              (a)    written notice of the change; and
              (b)    the fee prescribed under a regulation.
        (2)   An applicant can not change an application if the change
              would, if the application were remade including the change,
              result in the application not being a properly made
              application.
