Update - 11 September 2015

A Bill proposing changes to the State Wide planning system was released by the State Govt. Wednesday 9 September. The Bill has been presented to the lower house of Parliament.

The Expert Panel on Planning Reform has been asked to review the State’s planning system and advise the State Government and Parliament on potential reforms.

Council is committed to being actively involved in the State-led Planning Reform process including working collaboratively with the Panel. As part of a staged approach, we sought your input to help shape and influence Council's Formal Submission to the Expert Panel.

Council encourages the community to inform themselves of the proposed new system and participate in creating a better planning system for the state. View the pages below for previous engagement activities:
