Minor Change Request Report (rec. 10.6.25) - 132001.210307.1

 3. Minor Change Test
An assessment against the meaning of minor change and a response about the proposed
application is provided below. The Planning Act 2016 defines a minor change as a change
to the approval that:
 It 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.
