📜 Planning and Development (Significant Development) Amendment Regulations 2026
These regulations amend the Planning and Development (Significant Development) Regulations 2024 by inserting a new regulation 5A, which defines 'mandatory significant development' for the purposes of the Planning and Development Act 2005. This new regulation specifies criteria for certain large-scale energy and infrastructure projects to be classified as mandatory significant development.
Developers of large-scale ammonia, battery, hydrogen, renewable energy, or transmission system facilities with an estimated cost of $20 million or more, not located in the Swan Valley Planning Scheme area, will have their projects classified as 'mandatory significant development'. This classification likely triggers specific planning and approval processes under the Planning and Development Act 2005, potentially streamlining or altering the assessment pathway for these projects.
