THE SUSTAINABLE PLANNING ACT 2009 INTRODUCES A SIMPLIFIED TEST BEING THAT OF “PERMISSIBLE CHANGE”.

for an approval for assessable development that previously required impact assessment—be likely, in the responsible entity’s opinion, to cause a person to make a properly made submission objecting to the proposed change, if the circumstances allowed; or
cause development to which the approval relates to include any prohibited development.
