Members of the community, including developers, now have an opportunity to make written submissions to the NSW Planning Review (before they release an issues paper for public comment).
These initial submissions must be lodged by 4 November 2011.
We have been advised that the review process will then include the release of an issues paper by 8 December 2011 where the community will have a further opportunity to make comment. Comments on the issues paper will be received until 17 February 2012.
We can expect a green paper by the end of April 2012 and draft legislation by October 2012. A new Planning Act is expected by April 2013. Further information may be accessed from here.
Submissions that have already been lodged, inclduing two from the Urban Taskforce, can be viewed here.
