Assessment of the Minor Change

The requirements for the assessment of a minor change application are set out in section 81 of the PA 2016 (as
amended by the Economic Development and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2019). Our response to the relevant
matters is provided below:


  (2) In assessing the change application, the responsible entity must consider—
  (a) the information the applicant included with the application; and

JFP comment

Refer information above and application form.

  (b) if the responsible entity is the assessment manager—any properly made submissions about the development
  application or another change application that was approved; and

JFP comment

The original application was code assessment and therefore there were no submissions.
The approval has not been the subject of another change application.

  (c) any pre-request response notice or response notice given in relation to the change application; and

JFP comment

No pre-request notice or response has been requested.

  (d) if the responsible entity is, under section 78A(3), the Minister—all matters the Minister would or may assess
  against or have regard to, if the change application were a development application called in by the Minister; and

JFP comment

The responsible entity is not the Minister.

  (da) if paragraph (d) does not apply—all matters the responsible entity would or may assess against or have
  regard to, if the change application were a development application; and


JFP comment

It is noted that, under section 81(4) of PA2016, Council must consider those statutory instruments or documents in
effect at the time the original development application was made. The matters that the Council would have had to
assess at the time of the original development application have no relevance to this proposal to extend the
timeframe.
