Conciliation conferences and hearings in development appeals in the Land and Environment Court commonly commence with site inspections. They are a unique aspect of this specialist Court’s dispute resolution processes. However, rather than being merely part of the process, site inspections are the first opportunity for parties to highlight relevant matters in their specific contexts and make impressions which they may later refer to and rely on. This makes the site inspection a powerful tool in achieving the desired outcome and town planners acting as expert witnesses are at the forefront.

In this session, Steven will discuss requirements and strategies for effective LEC site inspections.
