Modifying development consent

Council may consider an application under Section 96 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 to have a current development consent amended or modified. In considering the application, Council must be satisfied that the proposed modification does not substantially change the approved development. The three types of modification include: 

  • Section 96 (1) – To correct an error, misdescription or miscalculation
  • Section 96 (1a) – For minor modifications with low environmental/amenity impact
  • Section 96 (2) - For modifications that require public notification due to the increase in the level or any perceived increase in the level of impact

An application to modify development consent under Section 96 of the Act must be lodged with Council by completing an application form and attaching the required supporting documentation (eg. plans, reports, etc).

A minimum of 6 x sets of documents shall be lodged with a modification application. Council may request additional sets of plans for modifications to major developments.
