The instruction sheet has changed. All amendments need to include an itemised list of all amended, deleted, introduced or renumbered clauses and sub-subclauses. This information is needed in order to accurately identify the affected provisions. This supports the individualised amendment date format for planning schemes. To provide greater clarity you can attach a track-change version of the attached document/s, a hard-copy showing changes highlighted or a detailed list of changes when submitting the amendment to DPCD. Please call your DPCD Regional Planner if you require further help when drafting your instruction sheet.
