Dounis v Kogarah Municipal Council [2006] NSWLEC 50
The proposed development failed to provide adequate and safe off-street parking arrangements in accordance with the objectives of DCP 11 and the amended DCP 11. The degree of inconsistency with these requirements was so significant as to warrant refusal. Additional amenity impacts, including the acoustic fence and landscape treatment, also contributed to refusal but were not the primary basis.
