When the Sustainable Planning and Other Legislation
Amendment Act (No 2) 2012 took effect on 22 November 2012, it
created a transitional risk for those planning to lodge development
applications in the near future, as the existing IDAS forms are
currently inconsistent with the amended Sustainable Planning
Act.
Partner James Ireland and associate Olivia Williamson explain
why the introduction of the new Act means that development
proponents may run the risk of submitting applications that are
'not properly made'.
Key points
- Under the new Act, provisions of the Sustainable Planning
Act 2009 have commenced in relation to State resources and
owner's consent. However, corresponding provisions have not yet
taken effect in the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009,
and the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and
Planning is yet to update the approved IDAS forms.
