- High Court
Council officers properly considered notification and reasonably concluded the 2009 amendments were tuning adjustments within the original objective of achieving a 20% Te Mata spill; there was no demonstrated prejudice and the claimed worse effects were speculative and emerged only from later, contested expert analysis, so the decision not to re-notify was not unlawful and judicial review fails.
