Pamada Cammeray No. 8 Pty Ltd v North Sydney Council [2013] NSWLEC 1104

The proposed modifications were acceptable because they were minor, had minimal environmental impact, would not appreciably affect adjoining amenity, would not change landscaped area, require additional tree removal or alter the proposed APZs, and the development as modified was essentially the same as the development originally approved; notification and resident submissions had been considered and appropriate conditions could resolve the changes.
