An application to Council for a s56 (LUPAA) minor amendment to a permit can be undertaken when a minor amendment to a Permit is sought.

A good example of the application of a Section 56 Amendment exists in relation to TasWater Permit conditions that require the Payment of a Headworks Charge as part of the Permit. The State Government has decided to remove the requirement for Headworks Charges in relation to TasWater and accordingly the subdivision Permits in existance must be Amended to remove this requirement. A section 56 application is the mechanism used to amend these permits.
