The latest developments in environmental and sustainability policy, regulation, legislation and voluntary initiatives

摘要

DETAILS A major change to planning policy that will get development back on track and ensure protection for the environment has been published by Planning Minister Greg Clark. The new 'presumption in favour of sustainable development' that will get development under way while keeping vital environmental protections is to become the cornerstone of a more streamlined planning system that will cut reams of unwieldy planning policy down to a tightly focused National Planning Policy Framework, according to the Government.
