The High Court on Friday refused the Wagners application for special leave to appeal, saying we are not persuaded that it raises a question of principle suitable for the consideration of this court and awarded costs of the legal proceeding to the council. Toowoomba Regional Council welcomed the decision. TRC CEO Brian Pidgeon said this had brought an end to a lengthy legal appeals process.
