Update - 8 February 2016

In January 2016, Council adopted a new submission on the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Bill 2015. The Bill is still before Parliament, and is expected to be reviewed in the Legislative Council (Upper House) during February 2016.

Our new submission augments our submission of October 2015 – see Update 12 October 2016 – and primarily addresses proposed amendments. Since October, numerous amendments to the Bill before Parliament have been proposed dealing with matters ranging from property charges for infrastructure through to the membership of development assessment panels. Some of the significant amendments and issues are still to be resolved in the ongoing Parliamentary review process.

For these reasons, Council considered it important to make its views known on these matters as well as reiterating key points in its October 2015 submission.
