- High Court
The Court held the airport noise contour fell within the broad scope of the s16 Gazette direction (identification of location, type and mix of residential and business activities and constraints), the Minister properly applied the s10(2) necessity test and reasonably concluded approval of the LURP (including the noise contour) was necessary for earthquake recovery, consultation was adequate, and therefore the judicial review application failed and was dismissed.
