Murphy & Anor v Canada Bay City Council [2008] NSWLEC 17

Murphy & Anor v Canada Bay City Council [2008] NSWLEC 17

Mr Goodridge's concerns largely related to the Council's handling of issues and the development generally, including matters preceding the original development consent, whereas the proceedings before the Court concerned defined as-built elements in a modification application. The Court was not satisfied that he had anything to add on the issues specifically before the Court, and he retained the rights and opportunities afforded to objectors to be heard at the hearing. The Notice of Motion was therefore refused.
