I write in relation to the consultation on the above discussion paper.
Urban Taskforce Australia appreciates the Department’s intent to make the planning system faster, fairer, and modern, through initiatives such as the ones described in this paper.
We welcome the prospect of a code for targeted assessment and low-rise housing. This has been shown to work in other jurisdictions, cutting through unnecessary red tape, speeding up the approvals process, and ensuring greater consistency in development assessment.
A streamlined, targeted assessment pathway will help to overcome barriers to the delivery of housing supply.
