CJL Nominess Pty Ltd v Woollahra Municipal Council [2008] NSWLEC 1480

CJL Nominess Pty Ltd v Woollahra Municipal Council [2008] NSWLEC 1480

The agreed reduction of the parking contribution to $69,168.12 was appropriate because it reflected only the incremental parking demand generated by the change of use. Condition 27 was unreasonable because the existing paintwork pre-dated the application, was not proposed to be changed, was not associated with the proposed pharmacy use, and had no nexus to that use; it therefore did not fairly and reasonably relate to the development.

Procedural Posture

Development Consent Appeal / Judgment After Hearing

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether condition 4 of the development consent should be amended to reduce the s94 car parking contribution based on the incremental demand for parking spaces arising from the proposed change of use.' 'Whether condition 27 requiring removal of painted banding from the building exterior fairly and reasonably related to the change of use development and was reasonable.']

Ratio Decidendi

The agreed reduction of the parking contribution to $69,168.12 was appropriate because it reflected only the incremental parking demand generated by the change of use. Condition 27 was unreasonable because the existing paintwork pre-dated the application, was not proposed to be changed, was not associated with the proposed pharmacy use, and had no nexus to that use; it therefore did not fairly and reasonably relate to the development.

Court Disposition

The appeal was upheld.
