Procedural Posture

Class 1 Environment Protection Licence Modification Application / Conciliation Conference; Agreement Under S 34(3) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979; Final Orders

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether an agreement under s 34(3) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979 had been reached between the parties as to terms of a decision acceptable to the parties.' 'Whether the agreed decision was one that the Court could have made in the proper exercise of its functions.' 'Whether the proceedings should be disposed of in accordance with the agreed decision.']

Ratio Decidendi

Because the parties reached an agreement under s 34(3) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979 and the presiding Commissioner was satisfied that the agreed decision was one the Court could have made in the proper exercise of its functions, the proceedings were disposed of in accordance with that decision by making orders to give effect to the agreement, without any merit assessment of the issues originally in dispute.

Proceedings disposed of in accordance with the parties' agreement under s 34(3) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979.
