Anbei Investment Pty Ltd v Ryde City Council [2020] NSWLEC 1450

The Commissioner was satisfied that the agreed decision to grant development consent to the amended application subject to conditions was a decision the Court could make in the proper exercise of its functions because the identified jurisdictional preconditions were met: the uses were permissible with consent in the IN2 – Light Industrial zone under the Ryde Local Environmental Plan 2014, no applicable development standards were breached, and contaminated land considerations under State Environmental Planning Policy No 55 – Remediation of Land were addressed by the Phase 2 report. The proceedings were therefore disposed of in accordance with the parties' agreement.
