3.    STATUTORY PROCESS:
The applicant has requested to make a change to a development approval under s369 of the
Sustainable Planning Act 2009. A request to change a development approval under s369 can only
be made in circumstances where that change would constitute a ‘permissible change’.
The proposed change to the development approval requested by the applicant is determined to
constitute a permissible change on grounds that:
    The change would not result in a substantially different development as the application seeks
      approval for the minor expansion to the use area of tenancy 3;
    The change would not require the application to be referred to additional concurrence
      agencies;
