to appeals to the Land and Environment Court:
- What is the subject for each appeal?

Answer -

I provide the following details in response to your question:
Under the Local Government Act 1993, councils are established as autonomous
bodies with rights and powers conferred by law. Councils are not required to
report this information to the Department of Local Government. The Honourable
Member may therefore wish to raise her question direct with Newcastle City
Council.
