Subscriber only A Queensland developer is appealing a Land and Environment Court ruling in a further attempt to reduce contributions owed to Ballina Shire Council. Intrapac, the developer behind the Aureus estate in Skennars Head, took the council to the Land and Environment Court when it did not, within a certain period of time, approve an application to reduce developer contributions arising from the 229-lot subdivision. The development was approved by the Northern Regional Planning Panel, with conditions including $4,580,000 worth of contributions to be paid to the council. Intrapac was also required to build a new roundabout, embellish parks within the development and invest $15,000 in public art.
