- Court of Appeal
The Environment Court did not err in law: it had jurisdiction to consider Thumb Point's proposal, it directly applied s32 and the HGI Plan objectives, and correctly concluded the 15 ha proposal did not represent the most appropriate method to achieve the plan objectives for Landform 5 which prioritise productive open rural character; there was no plan anomaly sufficient to require the Court to substitute Part 2 or higher-order instruments for the settled plan objectives.
