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. DA-17-01094 and to rely upon the following amended plans, copies of which are behind Annexure "A": Drawing/Document Number Drawing/Document Title Prepared by Date DA 01 Rev 2 Site Analysis Plan The Bathla Group 29 November 2017 DA 02 Rev 2 Subdivision Plan The Bathla Group 29 November 2017 DA 03 Rev 3 Building Envelope Plan The Bathla Group 13 December 2017 DA 04 Rev 3 Site plan The Bathla Group 13 December 2017 DA 05 Rev 2 Ground and first floor plans – Stage 1 The Bathla Group 29 November 2017 DA 06 Rev 2 Elevations and sections – Stage 1 The Bathla Group 29 November 2017 DA 07 Rev 2 Shadow analysis – Stage 1 The Bathla Group 29 November 2017 DA 08 Rev 2 Ground and first floor plans – Stage 2 The Bathla Group 29 November 2017 DA 09 Rev 2 Elevations and sections – Stage 2 The Bathla Group 29 November 2017 DA 10 Rev 2 Shadow analysis – Stage 2 The Bathla Group 29 November 2017 Coversheet Rev G Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 2 Rev G Index plan Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 3 Rev G General arrangement sheet 1 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 4 Rev G General arrangement sheet 2 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 5 Rev G General arrangement sheet 3 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 6 Rev G Typical cross sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 7 Rev G Basin Long Sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 8 Rev G Bulk earthworks plan Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 9 Rev G Tree clearing plan Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 10 Rev G Long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 11 Rev G Long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 12 Rev G Long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 13 Rev G Long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 14 Rev G Cross sections Glengarrie Road Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 15 Rev G Cross sections Glengarrie Road Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 16 Rev G Cross sections Glengarrie Road Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 17 Rev G Cross sections Glengarrie Road Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 18 Rev G Cross sections Glengarrie Road Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 19 Rev G Cross sections Glengarrie Road Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 20 Rev G Cross sections Glengarrie Road Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 21 Rev G Cross sections Glengarrie Road Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 22 Rev G Cross sections Glengarrie Road Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 23 Rev G Cross sections Road 01 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 24 Rev G Cross sections Road 01 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 25 Rev G Cross sections Road 01 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 26 Rev G Cross sections Road 01 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 27 Rev G Cross sections Road 01 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 28 Rev G Cross sections Road 01 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 29 Rev G Cross sections Road 02 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 30 Rev G Cross sections Road 03 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 31 Rev G Cross sections Road 03 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 32 Rev G Cross sections Road 04 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 33 Rev G Cross sections Road 05 Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 34 Rev G Catchment plan Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 35 Rev G Stormwater network Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 36 Rev G Drainage long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 37 Rev G Drainage long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 38 Rev G Drainage long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 39 Rev G Drainage long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 40 Rev G Drainage long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 41 Rev G Drainage long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 42 Rev G Drainage long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 43 Rev G Drainage long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 44 Rev G Drainage long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 45 Rev G Drainage long sections Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 46 Rev G Drainage calculation tables 5 years ARI storm Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Sheet 47 Rev G Drainage calculation tables 100 years ARI storm Pulver Cooper & Blackley 14 December 2017 Documents Updated Waste Management Plan prepared by Universal Property Group Pty Ltd dated December 2017 Engineering Design Report prepared by Pulver Cooper & Blackley, Revision B dated 1 December 2017. 1.
