     additions at a later date should design errors become apparent.
119. Council reserves the right to call up any performance bond held or levy charges against the
     property, should emergency works be required to be undertaken by Council to make the site
     safe due to inactivity on the development site for extended periods of time.
120. Should any changes or modifications to the approved plans be required as a result of
     construction constraints, a “Request to change an existing approval” under the Planning Act
     2016 must be made. Amended plans clearly indicating the changes must be lodged with this
     application along with the appropriate fees.
