Balero Enterprises P/L v Sydney CC [2005] NSWLEC 351

The Court was not satisfied that 24 hour trading, whether or not on a trial basis, should be approved because the current operation and management of the premises had adverse impacts, and the applicant had not demonstrated that the premises could operate appropriately before such an extension was granted. The proposed management plan could be implemented voluntarily without granting consent for 24 hour operation.
