The Department of Justice is seeking submissions from the general public, local councils, organisations, landowners, and any interested parties as part of the review of the States planning system.
The Review’s objective is to identify and make recommendations on streamlined decision making by reviewing the allocation of roles and functions in the planning system between State Ministers and agencies, the RPDC and Appeals Tribunal and others. It will also look at how State Policies are reviewed and implemented, the wider use of mediation in resolving planning disputes, the structure of the RPDC, and the assessment of projects of regional significance by expert panels.
Submissions should be in writing and mailed to:
Review of the Planning System
GPO Box 1691
Hobart 7001
Or emailed to: [email protected]
The closing date for submissions is 16 June 2008.
