Judgment 1. 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". 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. The final orders to give effect to the parties' agreement are: 1. The applicant is granted leave to rely on the following documents: No. Revision Title Prepared by Amendment Date DA02 I Site Plan Architex 20.04.2016 DA03 I Ground Floor Plan Architex 20.04.2016 DA04 I First Floor Plan Architex 20.04.2016 DA05 I Roof Plan Architex 20.04.2016 DA06 I Elevations Architex 20.04.2016 DA07 I Elevations and Section Architex 20.04.2016 DA08 I Adjoining Building Architex 20.04.2016 DA08/D Sections Teknicon Design P/L 09.08.2011 SW13453-S1 C Site Stormwater Management Layout ALW Design 29.03.2016 0727.L.01 E Landscape Plan Greenland Design P/L 18.04.2016 0727.L.02 E Landscape Details & Specification Greenland Design P/L 18.04.2016 Operational Plan of Management Cubby House Childcare Received 7.05.2015 Building Code of Australia Compliance Assessment Report AEDG Group 30.03.2016 Waste Management Plan Architex 20.04.2016 Flood Emergency Response Plan Molino Stewart 23.04.2016
