Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979

A person who is given a development control order may appeal to the Court against the order.

However, a person may not appeal against a fire safety order given by an authorised fire officer (other than an order that prevents a person using or entering premises).

The appeal may be made only—

within 28 days after the development control order is given to the person, or

if an order is given subsequently that forms part of the development control order, within 28 days after the subsequent order is given to the person.

On hearing an appeal, the Court may—

revoke the development control order, or

modify the development control order, or

substitute for the development control order any other order that the relevant enforcement authority who gave the order could have given, or

find that the development control order is sufficiently complied with, or

make such order with respect to compliance with the development control order as the Court thinks fit, or

make such other order with respect to the development control order as the Court thinks fit.
