- High Court
The Environment Court lawfully concluded that replacing existing static billboards with digital LED displays would materially increase driver distraction on a stretch of State Highway with high deaths and serious injuries, creating an unacceptable risk that justified declining the variation to the resource consent; the High Court found that conclusion was open to the Environment Court, that reasons were adequate and legal tests properly applied, and dismissed the s299 appeal.
