Western Australia’s planning approvals process will be comprehensively reformed and streamlined under new measures being proposed by the Liberal-National Government.
Planning Minister John Day said a Bill introduced to State Parliament to modify the Planning and Development Act 2005 would make the system more transparent, consistent and efficient.
Most of the proposals outlined in the Bill have been previously detailed in the Building a Better Planning System document released in April 2009, the subsequent ‘Planning makes it happen: A blueprint for reform’ document, and the discussion paper on Development Assessment Panels, both released in September this year.
