Planning reform is greater than legislation
The current push for planning reform presents a critical opportunity to look beyond legal instruments alone. While legislative change is necessary, true reform must recognise how people, technology, finance, risk and organisational cultures interact within the planning system to create outcomes. This holistic approach is essential for meaningful improvement.
Our Director, Michael Comninos and Associate Director, Amanda Yeung, were featured in the journal of the NSW Planning Institute of Australia exploring these issues.
