Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the erection of the Garden Marquee and building operations, including the erection of metal bollards, external generator, close boarded timber enclosure and a shipping container were substantially completed on or before 17 May 2018
  • Whether the compliance period of 12 months is reasonable

What decided it

The Garden Marquee was substantially complete and used for an event on 28 April 2018, placing it beyond the four-year enforcement window, whereas the metal bollards, external generator, timber enclosure and shipping container lacked evidence of completion by 17 May 2018.
