- Supreme Court
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, set aside the Court of Appeal decision and reinstated the High Court dismissal: the Council had adequately considered s101(3)(a)(ii) and reasonably assessed benefits and pass-through issues; the Court of Appeal erred in treating pass-through as fatal and in finding the decision unreasonable; Woolworths standard applies and the decision was within the range of reasonable choices.
