Obligation to Tolerate

Statutory obligations to tolerate can arise by operation of law or through a formal decision. Under the Environment and Planning Act, this instrument has been broadened and simplified, leading to more frequent use.

You see this in practice, for example in grid expansion, the energy transition and wind farm developments. These situations require a clear understanding of procedures, stakeholder interests and compensation arrangements. Early insight and the right strategy make a significant difference.
