If you need to make changes to your current Local law approval, you must apply for a Local law approval amendment. This helps ensure your approval details remain accurate, safe and compliant with City of Moreton Bay requirements.
You must apply for an amendment if you are making changes to an existing local law approval. For example, an approval for outdoor dining, alteration of land, itinerant vending, an event or a wedding ceremony. Changes to approvals fall into two categories: minor administrative changes and full amendments.
Minor administrative changes are simple updates that do not change how your activity operates and do not require Council assessment.
There is no fee for minor administrative changes.
Examples include:
Full amendments involve changes that may affect the nature, impact or conditions of your approval. These changes must be assessed by Council and an application fee applies.
If you are unsure whether your change is minor or requires assessment, contact Council.
Some changes cannot be made through an amendment and require a new application. These include:
If your approval has lapsed, you must submit a new application using the relevant local law application form.
If your amendment changes any part of your currently approved site plan, provide an updated plan.
If your amendment changes any risks to your activity, complete the Risk management plan template(DOCX, 34KB).
If your amendment affects your insurance coverage, provide an updated public liability insurance policy.
Ensure the location listed on your policy includes public land, for example, Anywhere in Australia or Worldwide. This must be shown on your certificate of currency or in the terms and conditions of your policy and provided to Council. If this wording is not included, obtain written confirmation from your insurer.
An application fee may be payable at the time of submission in line with Council’s fees and charges. Council will contact you if payment is required.
The first column is the type of fee, the second column advises the fee amount, and the third column explains the fee's purpose.
