I move amendment No. 728:

In page 267, to delete lines 10 to 12 and substitute the following: "(8) Where the deciding authority is the Commission, it shall notify the following of the receipt of a request under subsection (1):

(a) where the permission relates primarily to land, the planning authority in whose functional area the development the subject of the permission is situated or proposed to be situated;

(b) where the permission relates primarily to a maritime site, the Maritime Area Regulatory Authority.".

These are technical amendments. Amendment No. 728 clarifies that where a request for alteration or extension of permission relates to a development primarily on land, the commission should notify the planning authority in whose area the development is situated. Where the request relates primarily to a maritime site, it should notify MARA of the request. Likewise, amendment No. 731 clarifies that in relation to non-material alteration of permission and where the deciding authority is the commission, it shall notify the planning authority of the alteration or extension of the permission where the development is primarily on land and, for the same reason, notify MARA where the development is primarily a maritime site. It does not change the intent.
