Development on your doorstep...Would you want to know?

Planning Minister Brad Hazzard’s proposed new planning laws seeks to promote developer interests, with little concern for the wider public interest. It sidelines environmental considerations, and gives higher priority to economic matters. Community input to development decisions is significantly weakened, and avenues for ‘judicial review’ in the Land and Environment Court are reduced. 

The Better Planning Network is sponsoring an online petition requesting the NSW Government to withdraw its Planning Bills, and is seeking 50,000 signatures. 

The Better Planning Network has lots of information about the proposed changes to the planning laws and how you  can have your voices heard.
