That is good. Section 57 provides the councillors with the ability to vary a development plan at any stage, not at the five-year review. At that stage, councillors have an opportunity to feed into the variation, make recommendations and pass resolutions on that. Am I correct that the five-year review is not for lodging new objections and is just a review, and that section 57 is where the local authority decides to vary its plan, which is more akin to the current development plan process?
