intends to effect a minor adjustment to the share value assigned to any lot or proposed lot within the development that has been sold, being an adjustment necessitated by an increase or shortfall in the area of the lot or proposed lot after it has been surveyed on its completion; or
intends otherwise to change the share value assigned to any lot or proposed lot within the development with the consent of the purchaser of that lot or proposed lot.

Without prejudice to subsections (1), (2) and (3), where a schedule of strata units for a development has been filed and accepted by the Commissioner under section 11, the share value assigned to any lot or proposed lot in the development in that schedule of strata units may be altered —
before the lot or proposed lot is sold if and only if such alteration does not result in a different aggregate share value (including the range of provisional share values referred to in section 11(4)(b), if any) for the development;
after the lot or proposed lot is sold only with the consent of the purchaser thereof, unless the alteration to the share value is a minor adjustment necessitated by an increase or shortfall in the area of the lot or proposed lot after it has been surveyed on its completion, or the alteration is within the range of share values accepted by the Commissioner under section 11.
