Can ACT Planning impose conditions that were not shown on my original plans?
Yes. ACT Planning can impose conditions requiring changes to your original plans before or as part of approval. The required changes will be stated in the Notice of Decision and may need to be reviewed and endorsed by the Authority or another relevant entity.
Yes. ACT Planning can approve a Development Application subject to conditions that require changes to the plans or other documents originally submitted.
These conditions are generally used to make sure the development is consistent with the Territory Plan or relevant entity advice. You may need to amend a plan, drawing or other document and submit it to the Territory Planning Authority—or a relevant entity—for review and endorsement. Minor changes may sometimes be annotated directly on the approved plans.
