Ltr-250903-Minor Change Request-AVC Royal Mail Hotel

6.1.3. Referral Matters
The original application did not require referral to any referral agencies. The proposed changes would
not introduce any new referral requirements.

7.       NOTIFYING AFFECTED ENTITIES
In accordance with Section 80 of the Planning Act 2016, the Applicant is required to notify affected
entities of the minor change application.

Section 80(1)(a) of the Planning Act 2016 confirms that the following are affected entities for a change
application that the assessment manager is responsible for—

      “…a referral agency for the development approval other than the chief executive.”

The original application was not required to be referred to any referral agencies. Given Council is the
Assessment Manager of this change, and referral was not applicable to the original application, no
further affected entities have been identified requiring notification.


8.       COUNCIL ASSESSMENT FEE
In accordance with Council’s Schedule of Fees and Charges 2025/2026, the applicable Change
Application related to this request is ‘Minor change to a Development Approval – More substantial
matters (as determined by Manager, Development Assessment)’ and the applicable fee is $4,433.
This fee will be paid upon receipt of Council’s fee quote.

9.       CONCLUSION
As outlined in this letter, the proposed changes constitute a Minor Change and do not comprise
‘substantially different’ development as described by the Planning Act 2016.
Th proposed changes are considered to be appropriate in consideration of the approved development
and planning controls relevant to the site. Accordingly, we respectfully request that Council approve
