Existing Use Rights Cases

Summary

The cases discussed highlight important legal principles regarding existing use rights in South Australia. The 2001 case established that minor variations in property use do not extinguish existing use rights. In 2003, it was reinforced that the burden of proving abandonment lies with the council, not the landowner. The 2015 case confirmed that modifications for storage and warehousing do not constitute a material change of use from an industrial site. Lastly, the 2019 ruling emphasized that councils cannot arbitrarily decide existing use rights are lost without following legal processes. These cases can be accessed through AustLII, the South Australian Courts Website, or local law libraries for more detailed information.
