Applicant challenged the agency decision on three grounds, including the agency's failure to consider ecologically sustainable development (ESD) principles in approving the concept plan under the Envrionmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The court held that the agency had considered ESD principles and greenhouse gas emissions when approving the project. A quantitative assessment of GHG emissions was not necessary in this particular case and is not required for every major project.Key environmental legal questions:Challenge to state agency decision approving a concept plan for a mixed-use development project Texto completo Non-US_Drake-Brockman-2007-158_LGERA_349.pdf Página web climatecasechart.com
