“The statewide Community Participation Plan will improve the planning system by introducing a consistent approach to consultation on planning matters across all of NSW, adding more certainty for communities and industry, “continued Mr Armitage.
“It is refreshing to see to the government acknowledge that the current system is inconsistent and confusing for applicants, homeowners, community members and other stakeholders trying to navigate the planning system.
“HIA fully supports the move to put the primary focus of community consultation on strategic planning and major projects, rather than lower-impact development types such as single dwellings, sheds and pools, already designed to meet planning controls.
“This move reflects the NSW Government’s commitment to proportionality in planning decision making, which HIA fully applauds.
“HIA looks forward to continuing to work with the NSW Government on further improvements to the planning system that will lead to an upturn in housing delivery, including the expansion of complying development, new targeted assessment pathways and mandated standard conditions of consent.
“HIA supports today’s announcement of exhibition of the draft statewide Community Participation Plan as it will untangle another complexity of the state’s planning system by streamlining processes to help to get more keys in doors,” concluded Mr Armitage.
