There are several methods: a new Type Certificate (TC), or an ATC (Amended TC), or a STC (Supplemental TC). Technically you are not going around the original TC. Think of the old Garlick UH-1Hs. They TC'd surplus UH-1s (with no TC) into restricted category aircraft. There were also about 4 or 5 other "new" TCs on Hueys. A more recent is here:

Without more info or specific knowledge of things down under, I would guess 44023 falls under one of the above listed methods and the operator is the "owner" of the TC or whatever.
