Reasons for submitting an amendment include:

  • changing the permit preamble which describes what permit allows
  • changing the approved planning permit conditions
  • making significant changes to the approved endorsed plans which may affect the amenity of other properties
  • making significant changes to the approved endorsed plans, resulting in possible amenity impacts.
