The Territory Labor Government is improving certainty and understanding around planning decisions with the Planning Amendment Bill 2021 introduced into Parliament today.
The purpose of this Bill is to amend the Planning Act 1999 to create certainty for industry, proponents and the community in decisions relating to planning scheme amendments.
Key features of the Bill are:
To protect the validity of future decisions by a Minister in relation to planning scheme amendments.
To put beyond doubt the validity of the decision by the Minister to refuse a request to rezone the land at 16 and 25 Blake Street, The Gardens (Lots 6907 and 6908, Town of Darwin) from community purposes to a special use zone that would have facilitated high and medium density residential development, which does not fit with the existing character of The Gardens.
