(a)  widening a public road,

(b)  making an adjustment to a boundary between lots, being an adjustment that does not involve the creation of a greater number of lots,

(c)  a minor realignment of boundaries that does not create additional lots or the opportunity for additional dwellings,

(d)  a consolidation of lots that does not create additional lots or the opportunity for additional dwellings,

(e)  rectifying an encroachment on a lot,

(f)  creating a public reserve,

(g)  excising from a lot land that is, or is intended to be, used for public purposes, including drainage purposes, rural fire brigade or other emergency service purposes or public toilets.
