Eboli v Penrith City Council [2024] NSWLEC 1320

Sufficient evidence was provided to address each substantive ground of objection, and the consent authority could be satisfied as required by the planning instruments. The appeal was therefore upheld and development consent granted, subject to stipulated conditions.
