Randall Pty Ltd v Willoughby City Council [2005] NSWCA 205
No error of law has been established in the Commissioner's decision as the economic impacts considered, though not mandatory, were not impermissible. The economic impact of the imposition of a parking fee is a relevant planning consideration, and the identification of 'locality' is left to the decision maker; thus, leave to appeal is refused.
