Procedural Posture

Class 1 Appeal Against an Order Issued Under Former S 121 B of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 / Conciliation Conference; Agreement Under S 34(3) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979; Final Orders

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ["Whether the proceedings should be disposed of in accordance with the parties' agreement under s 34(3) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979." 'Whether the order requiring removal of two business identification signs should be varied by agreement.']

Ratio Decidendi

Because the parties reached an agreement under s 34(3) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979 and the Commissioner was satisfied that the agreed decision was one the Court could have made in the proper exercise of its functions, the proceedings were disposed of by orders giving effect to that agreement without a merit assessment of the disputed issues.

Court Disposition

The appeal was upheld and Order No. 15 issued by the Respondent on 2 August 2017 was varied.
