    A 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.

    Our assessment of the above is as follows:

    In relation to item (b) (i), the proposal would not constitute substantially different development.
    Substantially different development is outlined in Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules
    under the Planning Act 2016 as follows:

         1) A change may be considered to result in a substantially different development if the
            proposed change:
            a) involves a new use; or
            b) results in the application applying to a new parcel of land; or
            c) dramatically changes the built form in terms of scale, bulk and appearance; or
            d) changes the ability of the proposed development to operate as intended; or
            e) removes a component that is integral to the operation of the development; or
            f) significantly impacts on traffic flow and the transport network, such as increasing traffic
                to the site; or
            g) introduces new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts; or
            h) removes an incentive or offset component that would have balanced a negative impact
                of the development; or
            i) impacts on infrastructure provisions.

    The proposal is not substantially different as outlined above on the basis that:
    • The proposal does not involve a new use and the uses of the site will remain as originally
       approved for the purpose of Shops, Multiple Dwelling, Restaurants and Bars.
    • The proposal does not apply to a new parcel of land and continues to apply to Lot 7 on
       RP802632.
    • The proposed change does not dramatically change scale, bulk and appearance of the existing,
       approved built form. The proposal relates to the re-use of existing areas.
    • The proposal does not change the ability of the development to operate as intended. The
       premises will continue to operate as originally approved for the purpose of Shops, Multiple
       Dwelling, Restaurants and Bars
    • The change does not include removal of any component which would be integral to the operation
       of the development.
    • The proposed changes will not alter traffic flow and the transport network.
    • The change will not introduce new impacts or increase the severity of known impacts.
    • The changes do not remove an incentive or offset component.

    •    The changes do not impact on infrastructure provisions.

    On the basis of the above, the proposal does not constitute substantially different development.

    In relation to item (b) (ii) (a), the proposal does not include prohibited development.

    In relation to point (b) (ii) (b), (c) and (d), the original application was not subject to referral and the
    proposed change would not trigger any additional referral requirement or referral agency assessment.

    In relation to point (b) (ii) (e), the original development application was not subject to Impact
    Assessment.

    In accordance with the above, we confirm that the change proposed is a minor change as outlined
    in Section 81 of the Planning Act 2016 and requires amendment approved plans only.

    The application fees would be $4,030 for a change application under Section 81 of the Planning
    Act.
