Bardsley-Smith & Anor v Penrith City Council & Others [2012] NSWLEC 79

Bardsley-Smith & Anor v Penrith City Council & Others [2012] NSWLEC 79

The Court found that the use of Tenancy 230 was lawfully characterised as a single, multi-faceted use for a distribution centre with ancillary retail sales, consistent with both state planning instruments and federal pharmaceutical regulatory requirements. The retail components did not constitute an independent prohibited shop use. Condition 4 of the consent was valid, sufficiently certain, and integral to the permission granted. Accordingly, the amended summons was dismissed and no breach of law or consent was established.
