- High Court
The Court confirms that information about potential coastal erosion within the knowledge of the Council falls within mandatory disclosure under s 44A(2) and there is no general duty to consult before including such information where inclusion is mandated; the Council retains discretion only over how the information is portrayed and explained, and the threshold for inclusion is a relatively low reasonable-possibility standard.
