A powerful new coalition representing the customers of the NSW planning system have come together to call for a major overhaul to the state's complex and slow development assessment system.
The Coalition for Planning Reform was launched today at a summit of business, property and professional groups saying it was a 'now or never' time of the electoral cycle for wholesale changes.
Coalition members said they were heartened by the NSW Government's statements of intent to date, but had come together to ensure a broad-based reform program is pursued, make a positive contribution to the public debate and influence the shape of any subsequent reform legislation to ensure NSW has an efficient and orderly planning system for the good of the community.
