The application is dismissed because the council had no legal obligation to proactively publish the limited notification decision to the entire public; the decision was perfected when communicated to the persons identified as affected; the council correctly applied the distinct s95A and s95B/95E thresholds and reasonably concluded traffic effects were not at the threshold requiring further notification; ecological material did not establish a likely different consent outcome, so relief setting aside the consent was not warranted.
