Thanks to the representation of Macquarie Lawyers, an appeal was successfully upheld in the NSW Land and Environmental Court to allow the construction of a new 15 room boarding house in Blacktown, and to reverse the decision of Blacktown Council to refuse the application.
The result is most pleasing for our client. The commissioner stated that “The development expands affordable rental housing to cater for the needs of lower income people.” She also noted the development’s encouragement of alternative methods of transportation, citing its proximity to public transport and bike storage.
