Regional Planning Interests Act 2014

The holder of a regional interests development approval may, in writing, ask the chief executive to make either of the following amendments (each a requested amendment) to the approval—

a minor amendment;

an amendment the chief executive is satisfied would not adversely change the impact of the resource activity or regulated activity on the area of regional interest.

Before deciding whether to make a requested amendment, the chief executive may give the holder of the approval a notice requiring the holder to notify the application under division 4 within a reasonable stated period.

If, in the chief executive’s opinion, the holder has contravened the notice, the chief executive may refuse to decide whether to make the requested amendment until the notice has been complied with to the chief executive’s satisfaction.

The holder of the approval must bear any costs incurred in complying with the notice.

In deciding whether to make a requested amendment, the chief executive must consider the matters mentioned in section 49 to the extent the chief executive considers it is appropriate to do so.
