Council’s submission on Planning Reforms White Paper

A submission outlining the main issues of concern to Mosman has been sent to the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure.

These include:

• Private certification and building regulation
• Changes to neighbour notification and community consultation
• Expansion of complying development and the introduction of code assessable development
• The reduction in the number of zones
• Heritage issues
• Emphasis on economic development rather than good planning outcomes
• The implications of Mosman being in the Central subregion (with 16 other councils)

This last point was the subject of a separate submission to the Department on the Draft Metropolitan Strategy for Sydney.
