Thank you for the opportunity to comment on proposed actions by the NSW Government to create the Development Coordination Authority (DCA). Please also extend my thanks to both Clay Preshaw and Andre Szczepanski for their presentation to 100 of our members and their staff.
Urban Taskforce Australia welcomes the creation of the DCA.
We see it as a game-changer that could ensure the timely review of, assessment of, and concurrence with applications in which Government agencies might have an interest.
However, the lack of involvement by Treasury in supporting the DCA could prove to be its Achilles heel, as approvals may end up getting delayed or stopped due to infrastructure challenges or staffing shortfalls.
Urban Taskforce suggests that the NSW Government should be looking beyond DAs to the delivery of construction certificates, so that it can be confident that there is a higher chance that approved work actually makes it to commencement.
