AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of this question. The following response has been provided by the
Minister for Planning.
(1)–(3) The
process and responsibilities relating to a guided development scheme and local
planning scheme will depend on the specific scheme. Approval granted to a planning
proposal under a guided development scheme
or local planning scheme does not amount to an obligation to undertake the
proposal. As the member was advised
in Legislative Council question without notice 808 asked on 10 August 2023,
compliance with any conditions applied to a development approval rest
with the respective decision-maker or responsible authority.
