- High Court
The High Court found the Environment Court materially erred by approving Rules DEV-R5 and DEV-R6 and a mandatory public notification requirement on the basis that the Council had not opposed them, when in fact the Council and its planning evidence opposed non-complying status and there was no adequate s32 evaluation or evidence supporting mandatory notification; the High Court quashed those parts of the Environment Court decision and remitted them for reconsideration.
