Mr Mark Kassis v Parramatta City Council [2004] NSWLEC 262

Mr Mark Kassis v Parramatta City Council [2004] NSWLEC 262

The Court found that, after consideration under s 79C of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, the proposed development could proceed subject to conditions. The proposal complies with relevant planning controls (PLEP, PDCP, SEPP65). Objections relating to amenity, safety, parking, noise, and public interest do not provide sufficient grounds for refusal. Conditional approval addresses concerns raised, and the appeal should be upheld.
