Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether development consent should be granted for demolition of the existing building, construction of an attached dual occupancy and strata subdivision at 24 Richmond Street, Denistone East.'

'Whether the decision agreed between the parties was one the Court could make in the proper exercise of its functions under s 34(3) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979.']
