[1] The Council's "failure to decide in the statutory period" being the equivalent of a refusal.

[2] See paragraph 39 of the Berettas decision in particular.

[3] Also see CK & Sons Pty Ltd v Bayside CC [2010] VCAT 505 and De Group Pty Ltd v Wyndham CC [2010] VCAT 607.

[4] I refer here in particular to the third to last bullet point at page 32 of Ms Thomas' written evidence, which reads as follows - "At the Statistical Local Area (SLA) level, with Wyndham North (where the Tavern is situated) being ranked 108 out of the 104 SLAs in the state, Wyndham West had 124 and Wyndham South had 196. This implies that Wyndham North SLA is less disadvantaged than more than half of Victoria's SLAs".

[5] I acknowledge that in the Maddocks' written submission this parking dispensation figure is slightly higher, but as Maddocks provided no particular justification for this slightly higher figure, I prefer the evidence of Mr Walsh on this issue.

[6] In Ms Thomas' planning report, she estimates the height of these fences to be 2.4 metres. Certainly my site inspection confirm that they are unusually high.
