State and Regional Development SEPP

02 Sep 2011 - Submission added by NSW Division

At the moment proponents of major projects can't be progressed under either the old system (due to reluctance on behalf of the Department of Planning and Infrastructure to progress applications under the transitional Part 3A regime) and, until such time as the new SSD regime becomes operational, there is simply no alternative avenue. This is not an outcome which the NSW Government should look to with any degree of satisfaction, particularly during a period of significant economic challenge for many sectors of the NSW economy.

The review of both the SEPP and RFDC is timely considering the role that high density housing will play in satisfying the requirement for new dwellings, particularly in existing urban areas, as outlined in the current Metropolitan Plan.

Centre and Residential Guidelines

03 Jun 2011 - Submission added by NSW Division

The property industry has not fared well through the preparation of guidelines or advisory codes. There are oft cited examples of non-statutory guidance material being applied very strictly at the local government level (the 'rules of thumb' within the Residential Flat Design Code spring to mind in this instance). Our concern in this respect has been underpinned by clear reference in the Metropolitan Plan (December 2010) to the Guidelines being used 'as a basis for relevant Development Control Plans and assessment of development proposals’.

Letter - Stage 2 Consultation - The Bays Precinct

03 Jun 2011 - Submission added by NSW Division

Absent from the planning principles drafted for the Bays Precinct is any reference to the growth and redevelopment which will be necessary to incorporate future housing, employment (commercial office, retail etc), educational and other uses. Save a general reference to 'provid(ing) for new and existing communities', there is no indication that any significant redevelopment will be required to occur at all. The principles focus a great deal on the desire achieve design excellence, sustainability and cultural dividends and an improved public domain without outlining the growth context in which these outcomes will be achieved.

Retail Leases Amendment Bill

14 Feb 2011 - Submission added by NSW Division

The Retail Leases Amendment Bill 2011 is an extremely poor example of public policy development. Most of the proposed amendments are not underpinned by evidence of a failure of existing policy and have no appreciation of the additional administrative burden and associated costs that will be experienced by landlords. At the very least, all proposals should be held over until the Retail Leases Act is formally reviewed, as scheduled, in 2012.

Major Development SEPP Proposed Guidelines

01 Oct 2010 - Submission added by NSW Division

The NSW Government has failed to educate the public as to the important role Part 3a plays in facilitating the delivery of housing and employment generating development or in the delivery of growth supporting infrastructure, including hospitals, roads and schools. Rather than seeking to rectify this failing, it appears as though the Department of Planning is looking to placate public angst by targeting the property industry for 'special treatment' through the preparation of this draft interim guideline.
