I refer to the answer to Question on Notice No. 8504 where the Minister indicates the breadth of consultation the Department is undertaking as part of the review of Development Assessment Panels, and I ask:
(a) for what reason is the Department not conducting consultation with the general community;
(b) will the Minister undertake to ensure the Department consults with the community regarding the Development Assessment Panels, and if not, why not; and
(c) has the Minister received this report as yet and if not, when does he now expect to receive it?

(a) The Development Assessment Panel (DAP) review is mainly concerned with administrative efficiencies that affect and can be observed by industry, local governments, Development Assessment Panel members and other stakeholders.
(b) The Development Assessment Panels make their decisions in accordance with the underlying planning framework, such as the relevant planning scheme or planning policies. The setting of the underlying planning framework at both local and state levels would have been subject to a separate planning process where community consultation would have been undertaken. There are statutory mechanisms in place to ensure this occurs. However, the Department of Planning has duly considered any feedback when received from members of the public.
(c) No. I expect to receive the review report in the last quarter of 2012.
