There is no stepping back that as a ‘colony’ Australia has introduced a colonial planning system as our way of constructing and regulating ‘place’. What are the values that have informed this system?

NSW

Conciliation conferences and hearings in development appeals in the Land and Environment Court commonly commence with site inspections. They are a unique aspect of this specialist Court’s dispute resolution processes. However, rather than being merely part of the process, site inspections are the first opportunity for parties to highlight relevant matters in their specific contexts and make impressions which they may later refer to and rely on. This makes the site inspection a powerful tool in achieving the desired outcome and town planners acting as expert witnesses are at the forefront.

In this session, Steven will discuss requirements and strategies for effective LEC site inspections.

The WA Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) is the peak environmental agency in WA. It is responsible for carrying out our environmental impact assessments (EIA) of significant proposals, many of which are planning proposals or have significant planning implications.

(EPBC Act) concerning planning proposals and scheme amendments, and so an understanding of both Acts is vital.

This one-day course provides detailed coverage of the two EIA processes, focusing on the WA process.

Perth and Peel @3.5 million includes ambitious targets to house communities in areas on and near busy urban corridors, in activity centres and station precincts. To do this, our major streets must be more than just vehicle arterials, they will become important places for community, too. If well-designed they can be places we walk, cycle, and catch transit; places to stop and pick up a morning coffee; places to meet a friend; and places to live.

In Perth, there has been progression towards the Movement and Place approach gaining recognition and being tested and adopted. We have the opportunity to reconsider our streets to recognise their place value as well as their movement function.

This session will help you prepare for those considerations in your local area.

Discretion in planning is exercised whenever the decision maker has the power to make a choice about whether to approve, not approve or conditionally approve a planning proposal. Discretion can be broadly applied or can be guided by legislation and policies.

Discretionary decision-making is at the very core of good planning practice. The role of the decision maker is to make a judgement, having taken into account all relevant information and planning requirements. Clear and transparent planning decisions protect the integrity of the planning system and decision makers.
