QLDC's non-notification decisions were legally available and reasonable: the Council lawfully applied permitted baseline and receiving-environment reasoning, properly exercised discretion about treating previously consented/unimplemented works as part of the environment, relied on adequate information (expert traffic reports and NZTA affected party approval), and correctly concluded no special circumstances existed under s95A(4); accordingly the judicial review challenge to the three non-notification decisions is dismissed.
