JUDGMENT
I am now in a position now to finalise this matter. I gave my preliminary finding originally that I considered the consent orders could be made, but the outstanding matters of the unresolved conditions that go with those consent orders, needed finalisation. Those matters included those raised by the residents relating to on-street parking, traffic control, and also noise attenuation/control concerns arising from noise from the children at the child care centre. Also there was the further outstanding matter of s 94 contributions.
These matters have been further reviewed and the first two matters on parking, noise attenuation, have been addressed by updated conditions in the consent orders, and I understand now the s 94 contribution is agreed by the parties.
On this basis then I am satisfied that these updated consent orders, (exhibit 8), should be made. The only minor change I make is Order 3, regarding return of exhibits.
So the consent orders are:
1. The appeal is upheld.
2. The development application numbered DA 2542/04, lodged with the respondent for the erection and use of a child care centre, at lot 2256 in DP 1004302, No. 1, Watts Place, West Hoxton, is approved subject to the conditions in Annexure A to these orders.
3. The exhibits may be returned except for exhibits A, B, 7 and 8.

CaseChat Overview and Summary
The legal issues that the court had to decide involved the interpretation and application of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, the Liverpool Local Environmental Plan, and the Development Control Plan. The court had to determine whether the development application complied with the relevant planning laws and if the concerns raised by the residents and the council could be addressed through the imposition of specific conditions. Additionally, the court needed to examine the issue of s 94 contributions and resolve it between the parties.
The court found that the development application could be approved subject to updated conditions that addressed the concerns raised by the residents and the council. The court was satisfied that the concerns regarding on-street parking, traffic control, and noise attenuation had been adequately addressed in the updated conditions. Furthermore, the court understood that the issue of s 94 contributions had been resolved between the parties. As a result, the court made the consent orders that the appeal was upheld, and the development application was approved subject to the conditions in Annexure A to the orders. The exhibits were to be returned except for exhibits A, B, 7, and 8.
