Planning Minister (invited)
This meeting follows a
well-attended meeting on the Planning Green Paper last year and it aims to help
people in the community get an early understanding of the issues raised by the
White Paper and the Draft Legislation (they differ in some key respects).
The Metropolitan Strategy creates priorities for ‘Global Sydney’
The
Global Sydney Precincts are shown below including Central to Eveleigh
(including parts of Redfern, Chippendale, Waterloo and Alexandria) where
the Strategy proposes to “support strategic renewal of this highly
accessible corridor”.
Please spread the word of this
forum as the new system proposes to take away key protections in the current
planning act. This includes precautionary principles and residents rights to
comment on Development Applications in up to 80% of developments. The new
planning system proposes instead that the community will be involved in
preparing the regional and local planning controls years in advance of
developments and will no longer need to comment on most developments in their
area because they had the opportunity to have their say in regional planning!
