_ADVISORY COMMITTEE TO REVIEW PLANNING SYSTEM IN VICTORIA

The Minister for Planning has established an Advisory Committee to review the planning system in Victoria. A call for submissions has been made.

The Advisory Committee is to consider the whole planning system including the provisions of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 and how it works; the State and local policy provisions; the operation of zones and overlays; the use of incorporated and reference documents; and the way permit applications and rezoning requests are dealt with.

Collie is drafting a submission and is happy to hear views of others that could be included. Submissions are due by 31 August 2011. So if you have any comments contact Neil Badger at njb@colliepl.com.au (or of course, you can make your own direct submission).
