89  Meaning of major airport development
 (1) For the purposes of this Act, a major airport development is a development that is carried out at an airport site and that consists of:
 (a) constructing a new runway; or
 (b) extending the length of a runway; or
 (ba) altering a runway (other than in the course of maintenance works) in any way that significantly changes:
 (i) flight paths; or
 (ii) the patterns or levels of aircraft noise; or
 (c) constructing a new building wholly or principally for use as a passenger terminal, where the building's gross floor space is greater than 500 square metres; or
 (d) extending a building that is wholly or principally for use as a passenger terminal, where the extension increases the building's gross floor space by more than 10%; or
 (e) constructing a new building, where:
 (i) the building is not wholly or principally for use as a passenger terminal; and
 (ii) the cost of construction exceeds the threshold amount (see subsections (7) and (9)); or
 (f) constructing a new taxiway, where:
 (i) the construction significantly increases the capacity of the airport to handle movements of passengers, freight or aircraft; and
 (ii) the cost of construction exceeds the threshold amount (see subsections (7) and (9)); or
 (g) extending a taxiway, where:
 (i) the extension significantly increases the capacity of the airport to handle movements of passengers, freight or aircraft; and
 (ii) the cost of construction exceeds the threshold amount (see subsections (7) and (9)); or
 (h) constructing a new road or new vehicular access facility, where:
 (i) the construction significantly increases the capacity of the airport to handle movements of passengers, freight or aircraft; and
 (ii) the cost of construction exceeds the threshold amount (see subsections (7) and (9)); or
 (j) extending a road or vehicular access facility, where:
 (i) the extension significantly increases the capacity of the airport to handle movements of passengers, freight or aircraft; and
 (ii) the cost of construction exceeds the threshold amount (see subsections (7) and (9)); or
 (k) constructing a new railway or new rail handling facility, where:
 (i) the construction significantly increases the capacity of the airport to handle movements of passengers, freight or aircraft; and
 (ii) the cost of construction exceeds the threshold amount (see subsections (7) and (9)); or
 (l) extending a railway or rail handling facility, where:
 (i) the extension significantly increases the capacity of the airport to handle movements of passengers, freight or aircraft; and
 (ii) the cost of construction exceeds the threshold amount (see subsections (7) and (9)); or
 (m) a development of a kind that is likely to have significant environmental or ecological impact; or
 (n) a development which affects an area identified as
