Modifications are changes made to a DA after it has been approved.
Modifications can only be used to change details of work or activity that was approved in the original application. If you want to add a feature or structure that wasn’t in the original proposal you will need to make a new application.
There are three types of modification applications you can make:
- Modifications to correct a minor error, misdescription or miscalculation
- Modifications that will have a minimal environmental impact
- All other modifications, including those where Council may need to re-notify the modified proposal, and / or consult with other government departments or agencies.
You should check with Council about which type of modification is suitable in your case before you apply. Call us on (02) 4227 7111 for advice.
When you're ready, use the button below to apply for a modification through the NSW Planning Portal.
Note that application fees apply to modifications.
If you already have a Construction Certificate, you might also need to apply for a new one after modifying a DA. Contact us if you need advice.
