After many months of consultation and an Independent Review of
the NSW Planning System, the NSW Government has released
A New Planning System for NSW Green Paper
(Green Paper) proposing key elements of a new
planning system. In this overview, we highlight a number of key
reforms proposed in the Green Paper. A more detailed analysis will
follow in coming days.
The Green Paper is the NSW Government's response to the
recommendations of the NSW Planning System Review, an Independent
Panel chaired by the Honourable Tim Moore and the Honourable Ron
Dyer. The Independent Panel's recommendations are contained in
The Way Ahead for Planning in NSW – Recommendations
of the NSW Planning System Review (Review
Report). While the Green Paper adopts a number of
the recommendations of the Review Report, it reserves the other
recommendations for future consideration during the preparation of
the White Paper and legislation.
