   ●​ Reorient the building to face south-west rather than south. This allows an existing tree to be
      retained adjacent to the master suite wing;
   ●​ Relocate the stables closer to the primary dwelling;
   ●​ Amended driveway design to suit revised siting;
   ●​ Minor changes to building materials and finishes;
   ●​ Lowering the overall elevation reduces earthworks requirements, minimises disruption to natural
      ground contours, lowers retaining wall heights, and lessens the visual impact of the development
      from adjoining boundaries;
   ●​ The new buildings are sited outside of the mapped slope overlay altogether; accordingly, no slope
      report would be required.

Changes to Infrastructure Charges Notice

Not required.

JUSTIFICATION FOR PROPOSED CHANGE TO APPROVAL
The proposed change is considered to satisfy the definition of a Minor Change, as the proposed change
does not cause:
   ●​ The inclusion of prohibited development in the application;
   ●​ Referral to a referral agency if there were no referral agencies for the development application;
   ●​ Referral to extra referral agencies;
   ●​ A referral agency, in assessing the application under s55(2), to assess the application against, or
       have regard to, a matter, other than a matter the referral agency must have assessed the
       application against, or had regard to when the application was made; or
   ●​ Public notification to be triggered.

In determining whether the proposed Minor Change would result in a substantially different development,
the assessment manager must consider the individual circumstances of the development, in the context
of the change proposed. A change may be considered to result in a substantially different development if
any of the following criteria are not met for the proposed change:

4.1 Involves a new use.

The requested Minor Change does not involve a new use for the site. The proposal will be maintained for
a Dwelling House with reduced extent of earthworks.

4.2 Results in the application applying to a new parcel of land.

No new land parcels are proposed to be included or excluded from the development.

4.3 Dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance.

The proposed changes will not result in adverse changes in the scale, bulk and appearance that is
dramatically different from what has currently been approved and constructed. The proposed works will
occur within an existing established building area. External finishes have been revised slightly as a result
of the proposed changes. The proposed changes are considered to improve the bulk and scale of the built
form by reducing the amount of earthworks, which reduces the overall height of the building form, and



                                                                                                            3

re-purposing the existing dwelling to the gym. The bulk, scale and appearance of the proposal will be
significantly less than that approved.
4.4 Changes the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended.

The proposed Minor Change does not affect the ability of the approved development to operate as
intended as a single family home. The proposal will be maintained for a Dwelling House. The driveway
design has been amended to suit the proposed changes.

4.5 Removes a component that is integral to the operation of the development.

The proposed change to the existing approval does not remove a component that is integral to the
operation of the development.

4.6 Significantly impacts on traffic flow and the transport network, such as increasing traffic
to the site.

The proposed change will not significantly impact the existing traffic flow and transport network. The
existing car parking and access will be maintained and revised to suit the proposed changes.

4.7 Introduces new impacts or increases the severity of known impacts.

There are no new impacts or an increase in the severity of known impacts to the site or the surrounding
lots.

4.8 Removes an incentive or offset component that would have balanced a negative impact
of the development.

The proposed change to the existing approval does not remove an incentive or offset component that
would have balanced a negative impact of the development.

4.9 Impact on infrastructure provisions.

The requested Minor Change to the approval does not impact on infrastructure provision.

SUMMARY
We thank the Council on behalf of the applicant for assessing the above application. Based on the
information provided in this application we respectfully request that Council proceed to issue a minor
change approval supporting the proposed development in full.

Yours faithfully,
Adapt Development Management Pty Ltd
