“The doubling of cases in the last 10 years is further evidence that the planning system is slow and complex and in urgent need of reform.”
Current delays in getting approvals and restrictive council requirements are a significant issue for the construction industry. This is adding unnecessary additional costs, delaying projects and impacting feasibility.

“The major parties have indicated a willingness to work together to review the planning system and improvements to the appeals process would need to be a key part of any review.
“Opportunities to streamline the process and make it more efficient must be considered. As part of this HIA proposes the appointment of an independent DA Arbitrator to consider appeals related to single or secondary dwellings, dual occupancies and associated ancillary development.
“However, we also need to look at what existing levers we can use today such increasing the use of complying development to address some of the fundamental issues leading to increased rate of appeals and the backlog in the court,” concluded Mr Armitage.
