Jomaring Pty Ltd v Randwick City Council [2007] NSWLEC 829

Jomaring Pty Ltd v Randwick City Council [2007] NSWLEC 829

The modification application should be approved because the introduction of The Sports Bar results only in a small intensification of use and there is insufficient evidence that this will cause unacceptable impacts on surrounding residential properties. Proposed restrictive conditions limiting patron numbers and entry are disproportionate to the likely impact.
