PLANNING
AND DEVELOPMENT AMENDMENT ACT
433. Hon Dr BRIAN WALKER to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Planning:
I refer the minister to
part 17 of the Planning and Development Amendment Act 2020, which introduced a temporary system that amended the planning pathway for certain significant developments.
(1) Since that
temporary system came into effect, how many planning applications have been
considered under the new streamlined system?
(2) How many
of those development proposals were approved and how many were rejected, and of
those approved, how many had additional conditions attached to their
application?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question. The Minister for Planning has provided the following response.
(1) Over the period of operation, 98 proponents
approached the department about lodging a part 17 application . Of these, only 50 proponents opted to use the part
17 pathway. Of the 48 proponents who opted not to use the part 17
pathway, four have since had their proposals determined by a development
assessment panel and one is pending determination by a DAP.
(2) To date,
17 applications have been determined, with all 17 applications receiving
conditional approval.
