207 Exception to s 206 (1) (b)—referral requirements (a) a development application was referred to an entity under section 170 (When authority must refer development application) or section 191 (Referral of matter protected by the Commonwealth); and (b) an application is made under section 205 to amend the development approval to which the application relates (the amendment application). (2) Despite section 206 (1) (b), the decision-maker need not refer the amendment application to an entity under section 170 or section 191 if the decision-maker is satisfied that the amendment application— (a) does not affect any part of the development approval in relation to which the entity gave advice; or (b) is not reasonably expected to contain matters upon which the entity would wish to comment. Note Under s 206 (1) (b), an amendment to amend a development approval is subject to the same requirements as an application for development approval, which would ordinarily require the amendment application to be referred to relevant entities under s 170.
