NSW Parliament is reviewing the , introduced by John Ruddick MLC. The bill proposes automatic approval for certain types of development applications, including multi-storey residential buildings, seniors housing, state significant developments, and various forms of dwellings, if not decided within 60 days of lodgement. It's designed to fast-track housing approvals by targeting planning delays.
Key questions raised include:
-
Will this lead to rushed or poor-quality developments?
-
How will councils and planning bodies manage the pressure of stricter timelines?
The bill is still in early stages, with more updates to come as it progresses.
