Rockwall Constructions Pty Ltd v Parramatta City Council [2015] NSWLEC 1272

Because the parties reached an agreement under s 34(3) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979 as to terms of a decision acceptable to them, and the Commissioner was satisfied that the decision was one the Court could have made in the proper exercise of its functions, the proceedings were required to be disposed of in accordance with that agreed decision without a merits assessment of the originally disputed issues.
