Amendments to a statutory authorisation
19 Amendments to a statutory authorisation
The construction of a building or the construction or the carrying out of works authorised by an amendment to a statutory authorisation is an exempt activity if—
the building or works are located in an area that has been subject to significant ground disturbance; and
the statutory authorisation was granted before 28 May 2007.
Example
A permit was granted under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 for a dam before 28 May 2007. The dam requires a licence to construct under section 67(1A) the Water Act 1989. An amendment to the permit is sought so the dam may be constructed at a different location on the land. The new location has been subject to significant ground disturbance. The dam, as proposed by the amendment, is an exempt activity.
The construction of a building or the construction or the carrying out of works authorised by an amendment to a statutory authorisation is an exempt activity if—
there is an approved cultural heritage management plan in relation to the area to be affected by the building or works; and
the building or works are not inconsistent with that plan; and
the statutory authorisation was granted after 28 May 2007.
Example
A permit was granted under the Planning and Environment Act 1987 for a motor racing track after these Regulations commenced. An amendment is later sought to add a lane to the track, which would enable a larger vehicle to race. Constructing the additional lane is inconsistent with a cultural heritage management plan that was approved before the track was established. The additional lane is not an exempt activity.
