Builder cops $36,000 fine after sign blocked Sydney harbour views | MWhitbourn
A construction company behind a swanky apartment complex in Darling Point has received a $36,000 fine after its crane with an illuminated sign obscured a neighbour's harbour views.
The council took action against Bay State for three offences of carrying out a prohibited development, and selected three days in 2018 when this was said to have occurred. "As events transpired, the legal advice that Bay State had received was incorrect," Justice Preston said. Justice Preston said the unlawful development was "minor" in the scheme of an otherwise lawful construction and the neighbour did not complain about the crane itself, but only the illumination of the sign.
