Does the court have the jurisdiction to hear this matter? If so, which class of action is most relevant, and will the matter he heard by a commissioner or judge? If the council affirmed its decision {which it did], can Col Packard still make an application to the coun?

Given the above facts in question4, if the land owner wanted to ensurethat a new development application to operate a childcare centre was not required, what would you advisethelandownerto do?

 A childcare centre previously operated on a site in 1995 for 17 years and then the lot reverted to residential use in 2012. In 2010, childcare centres became prohibited development and then in 2015, they required development consent again. Could the client rely on an existing use right?

Will Col Packard be able to immediately commence work on the site once they have obtained development consent? Once the childcare centre is constructed, will Col Packard be able to immediately move in, or are there other certificates or approvals required?

What happens after the development application is lodged and, If it is granted, when will the development consent begin?
