I refer to the answer to question
without notice 255, asked on 24 March 2022, about the number of decisions being
made under clause 78H of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes)

decisions have been made under this provision.
(1) Will the Department of
Planning, Lands and Heritage assess the effectiveness of clause 78H?

assessment be finalised?
(3) If no to (1), and given the
unprecedented nature of the provision, why not?
