AD Maiora Natus Sum Pty Limited v Cumberland Council [2018] NSWLEC 1563

AD Maiora Natus Sum Pty Limited v Cumberland Council [2018] NSWLEC 1563

The Court found that, despite compliance with some aspects of the relevant Australian Standards, the parking layout failed to provide appropriate and safe manoeuvrability for residents. The constrained site did not justify further relaxation of Council policy on onsite parking, and the development as proposed constituted an overdevelopment of the site. The appeal was dismissed.
