Statutory Planning Committee items relating to Local Planning Schemes are confidential and as such the report from the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage and the Committee’s recommendation is not publicly available.

The City understands the Statutory Planning Committee’s recommendation has now been provided to the Minister for Planning. The Minister will make the final decision on the Scheme and may:

1. refuse the Scheme; or
2. approve the Scheme with or without modifications.

Should modifications be proposed, the Minister may or may not require the modifications to be advertised.

Once the Minister has made a decision, submitters will be notified, and a notice will be published in the local newspaper and on the City’s website. It is noted there is no specified timeframe for the Minister’s decision.
