The State Government’s planning Bill is being rushed through Parliament with scarcely time for the community to respond.
“This Bill will change the way our city, suburbs, neighbourhoods and backyards are planned and developed. It will direct who makes the decisions and how much input community members and our local councils have, and there are many concerns that the Bill doesn’t get this balance right.

The consequences will be around for a long time and we need to get this right.”
