"On December 18 a new era of simple, smart and flexible planning gets underway under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009. Minister for Infrastructure and Planning Stirling Hinchliffe last week released information on public notification, compliance assessment and the default standard conditions for deemed approvals to councils and other stakeholders.
As promised, councils are receiving this information early to enable them to be ready for the 18 December start date. “There are benefits for all Queenslanders from this new planning and development system,” Mr Hinchliffe said. The new public notification signs for impact assessable developments are just one example of the many changes set to make a big difference to the state’s planning system."
