Proposed Development
Pursuant to section 78 of the Planning Act 2016, the applicant is making a ‘minor change’ to the
application as shown in Figure 1 (Attachment 2).




Figure 1 – New Proposal Plan

The ‘minor change’ marginally increases the area of Lot 1 to 711m² with Lot 2 having an area of 662m².
The boundary of Lot 1 near the access easement has been shifted towards the north west so that both
allotments can be readily connected to the existing sewer main that traverses the land. No changes
are being proposed to the existing access arrangement or the existing built form on the land, other
than the provision of a kitchen and laundry within the existing extension once the reconfiguration has
occurred.

At this time the stormwater easement has also been removed from Lot 1. This is because it is not clear
what purpose the easement serves given the applicant is responsible for the maintenance of the
property; however, the applicant might accept the imposition of an easement over Lot 1 if the purpose
of the easement can be explained.

This is particularly the case given no further building work is being proposed on Lot 1, with no increase
in stormwater runoff. If it is intended by the easement to prevent further building work on Lot 1, then
the applicant would accept a condition that prevents any further building work within Lot 1. Further,
a property note could also be included advising future owners of the localised stormwater flows across
the site during a 1%AEP event.
