Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 332 asked in the Legislative Council on 7 April 2022 by Hon Neil Thomson

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

CORONAVIRUS — STATE OF EMERGENCY — PLANNING

332. Hon NEIL THOMSON to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Planning:

I refer to the answer to question without notice 318, answered on 6 April 2022, regarding clause 78H of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015, in which the Leader of the House stated —

The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage regularly monitors the effectiveness of the clause 78H notice in consultation with the local government sector.

How is the effectiveness of clause 78H measured by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage, given that it ''does not keep records of such decisions'', as per the answer to question without notice 255, answered on 24 March?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

As outlined in the answer to the member's question on 5 April 2022, the department monitors the effectiveness of the provisions of clause 78H as well as any issues arising with them through consultation with the local government sector. If the member is seeking records relating to proposals exempted under clause 78H, the member should direct that question to the relevant local government.
