 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.
