JUDGE ROBIN QC

P & E Appeal No 2108 of 2009

RIPPINGHAM PTY LTD	Appellant
and
BRISBANE CITY COUNCIL	Respondent

BRISBANE

..DATE 26/03/2010

..DAY 1

ORDER

Catchwords
Sustainable Planning Act 2009 s 350
Minor change only where access is relocated with consequential changes to sewerage connection and draining swalls on site

HIS HONOUR:  The Court makes an order in terms of the initialled draft which occurs by consent.  It allows the appeal and approves the proposal on conditions.

The matter that requires the Court's attention is a change which is to be approached under section 350 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. The change involves relocation of the access to the site which comprises two deep blocks with short frontages from Lot 1 to Lot 2. In association with the relocation of that access further to the south, the connection of drainage to the council's system also moves further to the south.

It is confirmed from the Bar table that the site is extremely flat.  The proposal contains drainage swales around the perimeter.  A large feature of that nature which was formerly to be located at the north-western, that is, rear boundary of the site, is now relocated to the front of the site.  That is not going to occasion anything substantially different in the development.

In the circumstances, order as per initialled draft.
