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.
