Procedural Posture

Appeal Against Refusal of Development Application / Motion by the Applicant to Rely Upon Amended Plans at the Hearing of the Appeal

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the applicant should be permitted to rely upon amended plans in an appeal against refusal of a development application.' 'Whether the amended proposal differed in a material respect from the proposal described in the plans accompanying the original development application.']

Ratio Decidendi

Because sewage and wastewater disposal was the sole ground of refusal, and the amended plans proposed a fundamental change to the wastewater and geotechnical aspects of the development, the amended proposal differed in a material respect from the original development application; the Court therefore refused leave to rely on the amended plans.

Court Disposition

Motion refused.

Orders

  • ['The motion to rely upon the amended plans is refused.' 'The matter will be listed before the Registrar on 15 June 2005.' 'The exhibits may be returned.']
