Hang v Holroyd City Council [2006] NSWLEC 411

Hang v Holroyd City Council [2006] NSWLEC 411

On the preliminary evidence, particularly the Court-appointed traffic/parking expert's assessment, it was reasonable during the maximum 12 month temporary period to allow staff parking in the garage, require revised plans for disabled access and a 3.6 m access way, and delete the requirement for two on-site patron parking spaces because of the small scale of the development, adequate on-street parking and the pending completion of the adjoining purpose-built brothel with compliant on-site parking.
