Alexandria Landfill Pty Ltd and Boiling Pty Ltd v Roads and Maritime Services

The applicants, Alexandria Landfill Pty Ltd and Boiling Pty Ltd, brought an action against the respondent, Roads and Maritime Services, in the Supreme Court of New South Wales. The applicants sought to challenge the respondent's decision to refuse to grant them a license to operate a landfill in Alexandria, New South Wales. The applicants argued that the respondent had failed to properly consider their application and that the refusal was unreasonable and unjust.

The primary legal issues before the court were whether the respondent had failed to consider relevant matters in making its decision and whether the decision was unreasonable. The court considered whether the respondent had properly exercised its discretion in refusing the applicants' application for a landfill licence.

The court held that the respondent had properly exercised its discretion in refusing the applicants' application for a landfill licence. The court found that the respondent had considered all relevant matters in making its decision and that the decision was not unreasonable. The court further found that the applicants had not established that the decision was unjust. The court dismissed the application and ordered the exhibits to be returned to the applicants.
