Editor’s Note—As a building is to be constructed prior to sealing of
subdivision plans, assessment of the development is to be
undertaken as part of the development application for a material
change of use if that development is assessable under the planning
scheme. Reconfiguring a lot can be assessed simultaneously or
subsequently against the relevant parts of this code.
