Country Mayors endorse opposition to Planning Piracy

Chris Minns announced the planning policy shift, it was the first anyone in Local Government knew of it and he had been invited to address our Country Mayors AGM at the time.” The Premier announced that a three-person planning authority to be known as the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA), would be given responsibility for housing developments over $60 million in the Sydney region and over $30 million in rural and regional areas from early 2025. The HDA will be overseen by the Premier’s Department Secretary Simon Draper, Planning Department Secretary Kiersten Fishburn and Infrastructure NSW Chief Executive Tom Gellibrand.The proposed legislation which would introduce a new planning pathway in NSW that circumvents local government has been met with cautious optimism by the industry, according to The Urban Developer, Australia’s largest community of property developers and urban development professionals.The NSW Government has stated that the new planning pathway is aimed at reducing approval times and speeding up the delivery of new homes. Condemn the NSW Government’s 15 November 2024 announcement that it will bypass councils and communities with a new spot-rezoning and state approval pathway, which will deliver windfall gains for developers while removing safeguards that protect communities from inappropriate overdevelopmentFor further information, contact: Chairman CMA - Cr Rick Firman OAM: 0429 204 060Caption: CMA Deputy Chairman Cr.
