Background

On 6 March 2003 Council approved a material change of use for house in a sanddune
problem area requiring a modification to the Planning Scheme Provisions (building height).

Minor Change Test

An assessment against the meaning of minor change and a response about the proposed
application is provide below. The Planning Act 2016 defines a minor change as a change
to the approval that:

      i. would not result in a substantially different development*;
             (*In determining whether the proposed change would result in substantially
             different development, the assessment manager or referral agency must
             consider the individual circumstances of the development, in the context of
             the change proposed.)

Schedule 1 of the Development Assessment Rules set outs provisions for a substantially
different development. A change may be considered to result in a substantially different
development if the proposed change results in any of the following outlined in Table 1
below.
