(ii) if made after the major project permit is amended, is to be taken to have come into operation on the day on which the major project permit was amended; and

(b) the Commission must give notice of the amendment in the Gazette and in a newspaper published in Tasmania and circulating generally in the area to which the planning scheme relates.
