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 make, 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 under s34(3) of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979 are: 1. The appeal is upheld. 2. The Applicant is granted leave to amend Development Application No. 1362/2015 and to rely upon the following amended plans: Plan Reference/ Drawing No. Name of Plan Prepared by Date Project: 7395 Demolition Plan Abode Drafting 9/5/2016 Project: 7395, Sheet 01, Issue: E Basement Floor Plan Abode Drafting 6/3/2017 Project: 7395, Sheet 02, Issue: E Ground Floor Plan Abode Drafting 6/3/2017 Project: 7395, Sheet 03, Issue: E First Floor Plan Abode Drafting 6/3/2017 Project: 7395, Sheet 04, Issue: E Roof Plan Abode Drafting 6/3/2017 Project: 7395, Sheet 05, Issue: E Sections Abode Drafting 6/3/2017 Project: 7395, Sheet 06, Issue: E Eastern and Western Elevations Abode Drafting 6/3/2017 Project: 7395, Sheet 07, Issue: E Northern and Southern Elevations Abode Drafting 6/3/2017 Project: 7395, Sheet 08, Issue: E Streetscape Elevation Abode Drafting 6/3/2017 68-13.00 Coversheet Distinctive Living Design 7/3/2017 68-13.01 Palette, Notes & Details Distinctive Living Design 7/3/2017 68-13.10 Landscape Hardscape Plan Distinctive Living Design 7/3/2017 68-13.11 Landscape Softscape Plan Distinctive Living Design 7/3/2017 92-14 Coversheet Distinctive Living Design 9/3/2017 92-14.01 Materials, Legends & Notes Distinctive Living Design 9/3/2017 92-14.02 Elevations Western & Eastern Distinctive Living Design 9/3/2017 92-14.03 Elevations Northern & Southern Distinctive Living Design 9/3/2017 Project 7395 Strata Plan Abode Drafting 9/3/2017 Sheet 1 Project 7395 Strata Plan Abode Drafting 9/3/2017 Sheet 2 Project 7395 Strata Plan Abode Drafting 9/3/2017 Sheet 3
