Nelda Bay Pty Limited v Sutherland Shire Council [2014] NSWLEC 1231

Nelda Bay Pty Limited v Sutherland Shire Council [2014] NSWLEC 1231

The Court was satisfied that the premises had a single use, with the primary purpose of selling boats and ancillary equipment. The items sold were boats or capable of being used on boats, including houseboats, as ancillary equipment. That use was a maritime activity permissible in Zone 11 with development consent, so the appeal was to be upheld by consent and development consent granted subject to conditions.
