This case involved an appeal against a planning permit condition for a subdivision in New Norfolk, Tasmania. Rather than proceeding to a full hearing, the property owners (Lark & Creese) and the Derwent Valley Council reached an agreement at a conference. The Resource Management and Planning Appeal Tribunal approved this agreement, replacing a condition about sewerage connections with a new condition that allows building only in areas higher than the sewer connection point. Each party paid their own legal costs.
