or does not affect whether a stable condition will be achieved for land under the schedule; or does not change the way a post-mining land use will be achieved, or a non-use management area will be managed, in a way likely to result in significantly different impacts on environmental values compared to the impacts on the values under the schedule before the change; or does not relate to a new mining tenure for the schedule; or does not change when a rehabilitation milestone or management milestone will be achieved by more than 5 years after the time stated in the schedule when it was first approved; or does not extend the day by which rehabilitation of land to a stable condition will be achieved. s 223 def minor amendment (PRCP threshold) ins 2018 No. 30 s 143 (3) minor amendment (threshold) , for an environmental authority, means an amendment that— is not a change to a condition identified in the authority as a standard condition, other than— a change that is a condition conversion;
