Procedural Posture

Appeal Against Deemed Refusal of a Development Application / Ex Tempore Judgment Granting Consent Orders

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether development consent should be granted for a school on lot 321 DP 752017, known as 33 Myoora Road, Terrey Hills, after the Rural Fire Service granted a Bushfire Safety Authority.' "Whether nearby residents' objections about size, landscaped area and traffic justified refusal of the application."]
