The following provisions do not apply in relation to assessing and deciding the application—
if the application is a development application—
section 45 (3) to (8) ; and
part 3 , division 1 ; and
sections 60 and 61 to the extent the sections impose an obligation on an assessment manager; and
section 62 ; and
section 64 ; and
section 275ZI ;
if the application is a change application— sections 81 , 81A and 82 .
In assessing and deciding the application, the chief executive may consider—
any State interests relating to the development the subject of the application; and
any planning instruments applying to the premises the subject of the application; and
any information or advice given to the chief executive in relation to the application, including information or advice in a submission or representation; and
any other matter the chief executive considers relevant.
The chief executive need not consider any referral agency’s response given before the declaration notice for the application is given but may ask a referral agency for the application for advice about the application.
