Ryan v Marrickville Council [2007] NSWLEC 27

The s 96 modification merited conditional approval for a further 12 month trial period because the extended trading hours had previously been considered appropriate, the modification related to the same development and had been notified with objections considered, and the identified adverse amenity impacts could be contained to reasonable levels by building improvement works, closure and restriction of external access areas, limits on entertainment noise, security patrols, a complaints register, and independent noise assessment conditions.

Procedural Posture

Appeal Against Council's Refusal of a S 96 Modification for Extended Trading Hours at a Hotel / Judgment After Hearing

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether the proposed s 96 modification to permit extended hotel trading hours until 3 a.m. should be approved.' 'Whether adverse impacts from noise and anti-social behaviour associated with the hotel and patrons could be adequately addressed by works, management measures and conditions of consent.' "Whether a further trial period for extended trading hours was appropriate under council's Hotel Trading Hours Policy."]

Ratio Decidendi

The s 96 modification merited conditional approval for a further 12 month trial period because the extended trading hours had previously been considered appropriate, the modification related to the same development and had been notified with objections considered, and the identified adverse amenity impacts could be contained to reasonable levels by building improvement works, closure and restriction of external access areas, limits on entertainment noise, security patrols, a complaints register, and independent noise assessment conditions.

Court Disposition

Appeal upheld; approval granted for the s 96 modifications subject to conditions.
