This document declares that a specific change — called \"Telecommunications Numbering Plan Variation 2005 (No. 3)\" — is **minor** in nature.\n\nDeclaring something as \"minor\" is important because it affects how the change is processed. Minor variations typically require less bureaucratic red tape and consultation than major changes, allowing ACMA to update phone number rules more efficiently when the changes are small or technical."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/telecommunications-minor-variation-to-numbering-plan-declaration-2005","history":"/api/acts/telecommunications-minor-variation-to-numbering-plan-declaration-2005/history","analysis":"/api/acts/telecommunications-minor-variation-to-numbering-plan-declaration-2005/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/telecommunications-minor-variation-to-numbering-plan-declaration-2005/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/telecommunications-minor-variation-to-numbering-plan-declaration-2005/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/telecommunications-minor-variation-to-numbering-plan-declaration-2005/documents"}}
