黑料大事

Session Overview:

You want to make changes to an approved development, but can’t decide on whether to lodge a modification application or a new development application for alterations and additions. When could or should you make one form of application over the other? In this seminar, Dentons Australia (Sydney) will present on the legal requirements for making either application, the circumstances in which you might consider going one way over the other, and the benefits or not of making both applications at the same time, by reference to some key caselaw.

About the Series:
