The Property Council has prepared 86 recommendations on draft reform proposals we consider require amendment and strengthening. We have also made recommendations where we consider there are gaps or omissions in the Discussion Paper including the extremely important issue of state agency concurrences and development levies.
Also attached is a report titled Unclogging the NSW Planning System: Solutions to remove red tape, reduce costs and reform exempt and complying development prepared for the Property Council by the respected firm JBA Urban Planning Consultants + TCW Consulting to support our recommendations on exempt and complying development.
Our recommendations aim to address and improve various key public policy issues and outcomes: housing affordability, innovation, sustainability, public awareness, community participation and of course, a better decision making process in the planning system based on principles of good public administration.
