The special interest test for standing does not require a plaintiff to show that the impugned decision exposes their interest to 'peril' as a discrete additional requirement; the test remains the ACF v Commonwealth special interest test. A statutory consultation obligation directed to the broader community does not confer standing on any individual member of the community. Standing cannot be established by asserting that the applicant's position might one day change in a way that might be affected by the decision; the relevant interest must exist at the time the proceeding is commenced.
