The Planning and Environment Court of Queensland has refused a minor change application which sought to introduce staging to a development for non-resident workforce accommodation because there was no assurance that the proposed later stage would proceed and as a consequence the development could not operate as intended.

The Planning and Environment Court of Queensland has dismissed an appeal against the decision of a local government to refuse a development application for a development permit for a material change of use brought by owners of a building construction business to regularise an existing unlawful use of land in Gumdale, Queensland.
