The Better Planning Network and 432 affiliated groups want a responsible planning system for NSW, one that is driven by Ecologically Sustainable Development; has at its heart community wellbeing; protects our environment & heritage; minimises risks of corruption and respects the rights of communities to shape local planning & development decisions.
The Government's Planning Bills won't deliver the visionary planning system NSW needs. With the Upper House debate coming up in a few days' time NOW is the time to contact Upper House MPs to say NO to the NSW Government's Planning Bills!
The BPN has an easy email letter on their website which can quickly make your thoughts known to the powers that be.
This week the debate occurred and the Planning Bills were passed.
from the Better Planning website...
On 27 November 2013, the NSW Upper House passed the amended NSW Planning Bill 2013 and NSW Planning Administration Bill 2013. Govt, Labor, Christian Democrats and Shooters and Fishers MPs voted in support of these Bills. The Greens NSW voted against these Bills.
Overall, the amended Bills passed by the Upper House are a missed opportunity for visionary reform and will not deliver good planning and development outcomes for communities across NSW. The Bills are unfit for the 21st century.
The amended Bills will now need to be considered by the Legislative Assembly (Lower House) before they can become law.
