Cottesloe Council has dropped its legal challenge to a major beachfront development approved by the WA Planning Commission.
The council is believed to have decided against further legal action due to limited legal grounds, significant cost and low chances of success, according to the Sound Telegraph.
The council and the WA Local Government Association will continue to oppose the state government’s special development pathway, which they say circumvents local involvement in the planning process in its current form.
