We all care about the regions, communities and streets in which we live. But many of us don’t stop to think about how planning decisions are made to change or protect these areas.
The NSW Government is embarking on a major review of the system which defines how planning decisions are made. This will include the creation of new State planning legislation. The review will be divided into three stages:
- A listening and scoping stage, identifying the key outcomes and principles for a new system
- Production and exhibition of a 'green paper' outlining policy options
- Production of a 'white paper' setting out the government's proposed new framework, including draft legislation
