About this Submission

The NSW Business Chamber and the Sydney Business Chamber (collectively “the Chambers”) welcome the opportunity to comment on proposed amendments to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (“the Act”).

The Chambers have been longstanding advocates for a planning system that promotes economic growth and prosperity. Accordingly we support the proposals contained in the Planning Legislation Update as we believe they will contribute to a planning system that is more efficient, that enjoys the confidence of the community, and is better focused on long-term solutions to NSW’s land use challenges.
