So far, 5 individual squirrel gliders and a mating pair have been recorded in the ar...ea a very promising outlook for continued conservation.

17.01.2022 Did you see Friday’s Ministerial Media Release from Rob Stokes? A Planning System Acceleration Program designed to cut red tape and fast-track planning approvals and processes is being implemented in an effort to solidify the significant role that the construction and development sector will have as a key economic driver during and after the COVID-19 crisis. Only last week the COVID-19 Legislation Amendment (Emergency Measures) Bill 2020 [NSW] came into effect, giving the Mi...nister for Planning and Open Spaces more power to authorise development and issue Orders that override normal planning controls during this time. Notably, this led to the Environmental Planning and Assessment (COVID-19 Development Construction Work Days) Order 2020, which allows extended hours of construction work to weekends and public holidays. The Planning Institute of Australia has theorised that the scope of this new power could conceivably extend to approving developments including manufacturing and logistics premises, community centres and even shops despite the existence of other planning instruments, approvals and their conditions of consent. We are interested and keeping account of these announcements and the benefits this has for our Clients, the industry and our economy in a time of need.

10.01.2022 The Department of Planning, Industry & Environment (DPIE) has developed a draft framework for a state-wide planning approach to Short-Term Rental Accommodation (STRA). The framework includes the Draft SEPP Short-Term Rental Accommodation (STRA) 2019, mandatory Code of Conduct, EP&A (STRA) Regulation 2019 and STRA Fire Safety Standard. The NSW Government is also considering the introduction of a new industry-led STRA property register. The new framework provides governance for... STRA including new land use definition, exempt and complying pathways and building safety standards. This framework will provide much needed consistency and certainty across local planning controls. The DPIE plans for the regulatory framework to commence in late 2019 or early 2020. de Witt Consulting are well versed in all new and under review policy and legislation exhibited by the NSW Government. de Witt has provided expert town planning services for STRA projects and can assist you with your STRA project by providing, town planning, surveying and project management services at all stages from concept to planning approval.
