July 14th, 2026 · before Miller AC · file 2026/162974

Outcome

Appeal upheld; development consent granted for dual occupancy, demolition, tree removal and swimming pool with strata subdivision subject to conditions.

Lloyd Building and Development appealed a refusal of development application DA25/0744 for a dual occupancy development with strata subdivision at Cronulla. Following a conciliation conference, the parties reached agreement and the Court granted development consent subject to conditions in Annexure A.

For practice: This is a routine conciliation outcome where agreement was reached between the applicant and Council. It signals no change to how dual occupancy or strata subdivision applications are assessed under the Sutherland Shire Local Environmental Plan 2015.
