JUDGMENT
COMMISSIONER: In this matter, at or after a conciliation conference, an agreement under s 34(3) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979 (the Court Act) was reached between the parties as to the terms of a decision in the proceedings that was acceptable to the parties. As the presiding Commissioner, I was satisfied that the decision was one that the Court could have made in the proper exercise of its functions (this being the test applied by s 34(3) of the Court Act). As a consequence, s 34(3)(a) of the Act required me to “dispose of the proceedings in accordance with the decision”.
The Court Act also required me to “set out in writing the terms of the decision” (s 34(3)(b)). The orders made to give effect to the agreement constitute that document.
In making the orders to give effect to the agreement between the parties, I was not required to, and have not, made any merit assessment of the issues that were originally in dispute between the parties.
The final orders to give effect to the parties’ agreement under s34(3) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979 are:
(1)The Applicant is granted leave to amend the development application to rely upon the following plans:

(2)The Applicant is to pay those costs of the Respondent thrown away pursuant to section 97B of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979, as a result of amending the development application in accordance with Order (1) in a sum as agreed or assessed.
(3)The Appeal is upheld.
(4)Development Application No. N0384/15 for a one into two lot subdivision, construction of driveway, tree removal, landscape works, servicing of the proposed lot including stormwater works and construction of fencing and gates at 35 Water Street, Wahroonga is approved subject to the conditions in Annexure “A”.
