Step 10: Modifying a development consent

You can apply to modify your development consent if the modified development remains largely the same as the initial approved development. If you're not able to demonstrate this, you'll need to submit a new DA.

Submit your Modified DA

You'll need to submit various documents with your Modified DA (also known as a Mod DA), which includes:

• Statement of Environmental Effects  (3.1 MB)
  This proforma should only be used for class 1 and 10 buildings, and for development that is minor (not State significant)
• DPHI: Standard Form of Estimated Development Cost Report: Download the standard form on DPHI's website
• Make sure you've addressed all items outlined in the checklist:
  • Development application (DA) - (modification)
• DPHI has outlined the application requirements for development to help you prepare your DA and supporting documents:
  • List of documents and drawings.
• Read our fact sheet:
  • How to lodge a Development Application (68.3 KB)
• You are now ready to lodge your Mod DA on the Planning Portal.

Your Mod DA will then go through these steps:

• Step 5: Public notification
• Step 6: Council assesses your DA
• Step 7: Referrals and consultation
• Step 8: Determination and notice
• Step 9: Apply for a Construction Certificate
