Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters specified in the enforcement notice have occurred (ground b)
- Whether the breach is immune from enforcement action by virtue of duration (ground d)
- Whether the requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary (ground f)
- Whether the compliance period is reasonable (ground g)
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the residential and escape room uses were functionally separate planning units, and the mixed use had not been in operation for the 10-year immunity period, but the compliance period was extended to 12 months as reasonable.
