MINOR CHANGE ASSESSMENT

The proposal is assessed against the definition of minor change in Schedule 2 of the Act and the
considerations in Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules. On the scope described:
    -   The same three-dwelling outcome is retained on the site. No increase in dwelling numbers, building
        height or overall development scale is sought. The localised entry and servicing changes do not
        fundamentally alter the development’s character or operation.
    -   No new use, land parcel, vehicular access or additional traffic-generating activity is proposed. No
        integral operational component or identified offset is proposed to be removed. Landscaping and
        waste management must remain effective.
    -   The changes are not expected to introduce prohibited development or trigger public notification
        where none was previously required.
    -   No new or additional referral, other than the statutory exception for the chief executive, or additional
        referral assessment matter is identified from the described changes. This position requires
        confirmation against the approval’s referral history and current triggers.
    -   Subject to substantiation of the landscaping and waste servicing outcomes, the changes do not
        materially worsen amenity or infrastructure impacts. On that basis, we consider the proposal
        capable of assessment as a minor change.

PROPOSED DESIGN CHANGES

The revised architectural plans relocate the pedestrian entry to Unit 3 from the central portion of the Berrima
Row frontage to the north-eastern corner of the site. The applicant advises that discussions with Council
officers have informed the design, particularly the treatment of frontage landscaping. Figure 1 compares the
proposed and approved arrangements below, with the revised Architectural Plans forming Attachment A
to this report.

As is evident above, the proposed change considers relocating the pedestrian connection to the north-
eastern corner of the site, where more sympathetic levels allow for a more seamless transition between
