Brindabella Christian College will need to cease using its car park that was installed without development approval by next month, the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (ACAT) has ruled.

The private school’s sealed car park on public land formed the basis of a dispute between the Lyneham Community Association (LCA) and the ACT Planning and Land Authority, which was heard in the tribunal on Monday and Tuesday (13 and 14 November) before a decision was made on Tuesday afternoon.
