The Tribunal allowed the amendment application in part: it permitted the convenience restaurant to operate ahead of roundabout construction (with interim right-turn access works), accepted the modified built form subject to colour and material changes, but refused to defer perimeter landscaping requirements and deleted the proposed pylon sign, reinstating the previously approved multi-tenancy sign. The King David principles do not preclude amendment of a consent-order permit under s 87A where approximately ten years have elapsed, the applicant is a new party, and the amendment is assessed on its full planning merits — distinguishing cases where amendment was sought shortly after the original determination with no change in circumstances. Section 46G of the PE Act does not bar permit approval where the roadworks are to be carried out by a private developer rather than a government department, public authority or municipal council. Whole-of-site landscaping conditions in a staged development permit should not be progressively disaggregated stage-by-stage where doing so risks perpetual deferral and erosion of the coordinated landscape outcome underpinning the original permit.
