Planning Act 2023

In considering whether no further action is necessary in relation to a complaint, the territory planning authority must consider whether the complaint—

lacks substance; or

is frivolous, vexatious or dishonest; or

has been adequately dealt with.

Examples—par (a)

1 the conduct complained about is not a controlled activity

2 the conduct complained about has development approval

3 the conduct complained about did not happen

Note The authority may take no further action on a complaint for other reasons, eg if the complainant has not complied with a requirement made under s 416 (see s 416 (3)) or if the authority considers it is appropriate after considering the guidelines under s 420.
