Urban Taskforce welcomes the streamlining of development and biodiversity conservation processes, with particular reference to the delivery of housing and jobs.
Moves to reduce the red tape and environmental compliance requirements applied to development will make it easier to deliver the employment, industrial, and residential properties that are needed to support growth in the Central Coast.
To this end, we support the intention to recognise employment, residential, and special purposes development as classes of action under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and to ensure, through strategic biodiversity certification, that no further biodiversity approvals would be needed for pre-assessed areas.
