Further Explanation
(Local Government Act and Code of Conduct)
A conflict of interest exists where a reasonable and informed person would perceive that a Council official could be influenced by a private interest when carrying out their public duty. Interests can be of two types: pecuniary or non-pecuniary.
All interests, whether pecuniary or non-pecuniary are required to be fully disclosed and in writing.
Pecuniary Interest
A pecuniary interest is an interest that a Council official has in a matter because of a reasonable likelihood or expectation of appreciable financial gain or loss to the Council official. (section 442)
A Council official will also be taken to have a pecuniary interest in a matter if that Council official’s spouse or de facto partner or a relative of the Council official or a partner or employer of the Council official, or a company or other body of which the Council official, or a nominee, partner or employer of the Council official is a member, has a pecuniary interest in the matter. (section 443)
The Council official must not take part in the consideration or voting on the matter and leave and be out of sight of the meeting. The Council official must not be present at, or in sight of, the meeting of the Council at any time during which the matter is being considered or discussed, or at any time during which the council is voting on any question in relation to the matter. (section 451)
Non-Pecuniary
A non-pecuniary interest is an interest that is private or personal that the Council official has that does not amount to a pecuniary interest as defined in the Act.
Non-pecuniary interests commonly arise out of family, or personal relationships, or involvement in sporting, social or other cultural groups and associations and may include an interest of a financial nature.
The political views of a Councillor do not constitute a private interest.
The management of a non-pecuniary interest will depend on whether or not it is significant.
Non Pecuniary – Significant Interest
As a general rule, a non-pecuniary conflict of interest will be significant where a matter does not raise a pecuniary interest, but it involves:
(a) A relationship between a Council official and another person that is particularly close, for example, parent, grandparent, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, lineal descendant or adopted child of the Council official or of the Council official’s spouse, current or former spouse or partner, de facto or other person living in the same household.
(b) Other relationships that are particularly close, such as friendships and business relationships. Closeness is defined by the nature of the friendship or business relationship, the frequency of contact and the duration of the friendship or relationship.
(c) An affiliation between a Council official an organisation, sporting body, club, corporation or association that is particularly strong.
If a Council official declares a non-pecuniary significant interest it must be managed in one of two ways:
1. Remove the source of the conflict, by relinquishing or divesting the interest that creates the conflict, or reallocating the conflicting duties to another Council official.
2. Have no involvement in the matter, by taking no part in the consideration or voting on the matter and leave and be out of sight of the meeting, as if the provisions in section 451(2) apply.
Non Pecuniary – Less than Significant Interest
If a Council official has declared a non-pecuniary less than
significant interest and it does not require further action, they must provide
an explanation of why they consider that the conflict does not require further
action in the circumstances.

Executive Summary

Following exhibition of the application, 1 submission was received.
1. BACKGROUND

The site is zoned R1- General Residential in accordance with the Port Macquarie-Hastings Local Environmental Plan 2011, as shown in the following zoning plan:
The existing subdivision pattern and location of existing development within the locality is shown in the following aerial photograph:
2. DESCRIPTION OF DEVELOPMENT
Key aspects of the proposal include the following:
· Addition of carport and driveway access
Refer to attachments at the end of this report.
Application Chronology
· 25 November 2015- Original DA approved. The current approved DA is attached to this report.
Section 96 DA 2015 – 721
· 3 August 2017- S96 modification lodged
· 15 August to 28 August 2017- neighbour notification of proposal
3. STATUTORY ASSESSMENT
Is the proposal substantially the same?
Section 96 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 enables the modification of consents and categorises modification into three categories - S.96 (1) for modifications involving minor error, mis-description or miscalculation; S.96 (1A) for modifications involving minimal environmental impact; and S.96 (2) for other modifications. Each type of modification must be considered as being substantially the same to that which was originally consented to.
The subject application is being considered under the provisions of Section 96(2). Having regard to the above principles, the Applicant has submitted that the proposal is substantially the same development for the following reasons:
- From both a qualitative and quantitative perspective, the proposed modified development will remain essentially and materially the same development as was approved;
- The proposed modified development incudes a slightly modified footprint with carport and driveway access and the development is essentially the same as the previous application.
- The reasoning provided from the Applicant with regard to justifying that the development is substantially the same development is considered acceptable and recommended to be supported. The proposed use, overall built form and ‘essence’ of the development is considered to remain substantially the same.
Are there any condition(s) of consent imposed by a Minister, government or public authority that require modification?
N/A
Does the application require notification/advertising in accordance with the regulations and/or any Development Control Plan?
Neighbour notification has been undertaken in accordance with DCP 2013.

Context & Setting
The site is located in an established residential area characterised by single storey
dwellings.
Access, Transport & Traffic
The proposal will be unlikely to have any adverse impacts in terms access, transport
and traffic. The existing road network will satisfactorily cater for any increase in traffic
generation as a result of the development. Carport location will allow for off street parking behind the building line.
Cumulative Impacts
The proposed development is not expected to have any adverse cumulative impacts
on the natural or built environment or the social and economic attributes of the
locality.
(c) The suitability of the site for the development:
The proposal will fit into the locality and the site attributes are conducive to the
proposed development.
(d) Any submissions made in accordance with this Act or the Regulations:
One written submission has been received following public exhibition of the application.
Key issues raised in the submissions received and comments in response to these issues are provided as follows:
Submission Issue/Summary |
Planning Comment/Response |
Second driveway not in keeping with the streetscape |
Changes will allow vehicles to be parked behind the building line and off-street. One space still available on street. Considered acceptable and of minimal impact to the existing streetscape. |
Driveway previously removed at DAP under original application |
Original proposal to have a second driveway was recommended for removal as the proposal did not meet the objectives of 2.5.3.2, 2.5.3.7, and 3.2.2.3. It is considered that the modification providing off street parking behind the building line will help with maximising on street parking and therefore better satisfying the objectives of the DCP. |
(e) The Public Interest:
The proposed development satisfies relevant planning controls and is unlikely to impact on the wider public interest.
4. DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTIONS APPLICABLE
Not applicable.
5. CONCLUSION
The application has been assessed in accordance with Section 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
Issues raised during assessment and public exhibition of the application have been considered in the assessment of the application. Where relevant, conditions have been recommended to manage the impacts attributed to these issues.
The site is suitable for the proposed development, is not contrary to the public's interest and will not have a significant adverse social, environmental or economic impact. It is recommended that the application be approved, subject to the recommended conditions of consent provided in the attachment section of this report.
