The Urban Taskforce has been complaining long and loud about the NSW Planning System – but it’s not all their fault.
The NSW Productivity Commission was called upon to review the Planning System in detail and it found in its Green Paper that the NSW Planning System is not delivering for NSW.
So why is it that when the Reserve Bank of Australia; the Commonwealth Productivity Commission; the NSW Productivity Commission (and, dare I say, the Urban Taskforce) all say that the planning system in NSW is holding our economy back, pushing up housing prices and represents a handbrake on NSW economic growth, that reform of this area is not the number one policy imperative for the NSW Government?
