Thind v Mosman Municipal Council [2021] NSWLEC 1494

Because the amended development application, supporting documents and agreed conditions satisfied the relevant statutory and planning requirements, resolved the Council's contentions and resident issues about amenity and view loss, and presented no known jurisdictional impediment, the parties' agreement to uphold the appeal and grant consent was a decision the Court could make and had to be given effect under s 34(3) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979.
