     3.0          ASSESSMENT AGAINST PROVISIONS OF PLANNING ACT 2016

     Further to the provisions of s78 (1) of the PA2016, and in accordance with Schedule 2 of the PA2016, it is recognised
     that a “minor change” is defined as follows: ‐

                  minor change means a change that—
                  (b)     for a development approval—
                          (i)      would not result in substantially different development; and
                          (ii)    if a development application for the development, including the change, were made when
                                  the change application is made would not cause—
                                  (A)      the inclusion of prohibited development in the application; or
                                  (B)     referral to a referral agency, other than to the chief executive, if there were no
                                          referral agencies for the development application; or
                                  (C)     referral to extra referral agencies, other than to the chief executive; or
                                  (D)     a referral agency to assess the application against, or have regard to, matters
                                          prescribed by regulation under section 55(2), other than matters the referral agency
                                          must have assessed the application against, or have had regard to, when the
                                          application was made; or
                                  (E)     public notification if public notification was not required for the development
                                          application.

     With regard to the above, we can confirm that the proposed changes constitute a “minor change”. In this regard,
     the following comments are provided:

                 The proposed changes will not result in a substantially different development (refer Section 3.1 below for
                  further discussion).
                 If the application for the proposal were remade including the change, it would not:
                       o Facilitate the introduction of prohibited forms of development;
                       o Require referral to additional referral agencies.
                       o Vary the level of assessment.

     On the basis of the above, we consider that this application meets the definition of a minor change.
