Things to keep in mind: Recent NSW planning decisions and what those principles say about everyday development
Two recent cases regarding planning permission for NSW Coal Mines have resulted in a 1-1 draw for miners. Approval for a proposed mine extension has been reversed by the Court of Appeal, while a fortnight earlier the Land and Environment Court found that the consent for an open cut coal mine in the upper Hunter Valley had not lapsed as argued by local environment groups. For those not involved in the resource industry, both these cases still raise important issues to consider in everyday development regarding how impacts are considered and the consequences of lapsing of consent.

You could be a winner: tips to consider when running a trade promotion
Trade promotions are a popular means of drumming up business or collecting information for marketing purposes. Raffles, competitions and events are common across businesses, however they often come under regulations that differ across different States and Territories. When running these promotions, it is important to be aware of how regulations may affect you, how you can advertise your promotion and how to draft the dreaded terms and conditions.
