The difference to establish
Development Services describes a new CO for changed business use and an update for certain owner or lessee changes with essentially the same use. Certain business types always require a new certificate. Actual exceptions, inspections and temporary-occupancy routes must also be checked.
Compare the prior certificate, conditions and approved space with the incoming operator, actual activity, layout, equipment, occupancy and works.
A former office is not the whole description
For a training centre proposed in an office suite, describe teaching, class size and layout before relying on the landlord’s office label. This does not assume teaching always changes the classification; it gives Development Services the facts needed for the route.
The relevant issued certificate, update or applicable municipal outcome—not a lease agreement or submitted application—supports that stage of the opening plan.
Scope
- No actual use classification, exemption, fee, review duration or complete building/trade/employment/tax/franchise clearance. A delay budget is not a city timetable.
Next step
Confirm whether the actual use and business category allow an update or require a new certificate.
