NSW focused 

This course is designed for NSW professionals involved in planning and development. The statutory planning controls contained in local environmental plans inevitably require updating, whether it is in response to a wide scale strategic planning exercise or changes in site specific circumstances. A planning proposal is the mechanism to achieve this and may relate to a change of zone or specific development standards, or both!

Join us for a short course designed for Planners and allied practitioners involved in the rezoning process. We will look at what a planning proposal is (and what it isn’t) in the context of the legislative framework. From a practical perspective we will use regional and metro case studies to look at what a planning proposal should contain, the steps in the process and indicative time frames.

This course will identify the key challenges and opportunities associated with planning proposals, as we embark upon the journey to transform local planning controls to meet the current needs and aspirations of local communities. This will include demonstrating strategic merit, evaluating options and understanding the role of consultation within each step of the process.
The course considers the implications for planning proposals in the context  of the new Housing Delivery Authority and other recent changes to the planning regime.
