Description The Planning Development and Infrastructure Act, 2016 came into partial operation in July 2019 and the intention is that once the metropolitan component of the key policy document, (the Planning and Design Code) is approved by the Minister ( anticipated to be late February 2021) the new land use planning and development system will be fully operational. While some elements of the new planning and development controls reflect the provisions of the ( soon to be repealed) Development Act 1993 there are some significant changes to the previous system. These include the categorisation of development, the role and rights of third parties, the responsibilities of planning authorities, new procedural requirements and the introduction of one Planning and Design Code covering the entire state instead of individual council area based development plans. This session will highlight some of the key changes and what they might mean for legal practitioners who provide advice to land and business owners on a range of property and land use issues.
