(1) An amending environmental planning instrument may be made under this Part without compliance with the provisions of this Act relating to the conditions precedent to the making of the instrument if the instrument, if made, would amend or repeal a provision of a principal instrument in order to do any one or more of the following--
(a) correct an obvious error in the principal instrument consisting of a misdescription, the inconsistent numbering of provisions, a wrong cross-reference, a spelling error, a grammatical mistake, the insertion of obviously missing words, the removal of obviously unnecessary words or a formatting error,
(b) address matters in the principal instrument that are of a consequential, transitional, machinery or other minor nature,
(c) deal with matters that the Minister considers do not warrant compliance with the conditions precedent for the making of the instrument because they will not have any significant adverse impact on the environment or adjoining land,
(c1) deal with matters the NSW Reconstruction Authority considers necessary to give effect to the NSW Reconstruction Authority Act 2022 .
(2) A reference in this section to an amendment of an instrument includes a reference to the amendment or replacement of a map adopted by an instrument.

(a) the planning proposal authority for this Part, or
(b) a local plan-making authority for section 3.31.
(2B) For subsection (2A), the Minister's direction may provide that the NSW Reconstruction Authority must exercise the functions of a planning proposal authority or local plan-making authority--
(a) for a particular period or for particular stages of development, or
(b) only in relation to certain matters.
