QLD Tenant Participation Program Review 2011
by REDWatch, last updated: Dec 15, 2012 06:27 PM
In July 2010, the Queensland Department of Communities commenced a review of its Tenant Participation program. This review provided the department with an opportunity to consider the fundamental delivery of Tenant Participation for social housing tenants in Queensland. This is the summary report and recommendations. This report has disappeared from the Department's website since the change of Government and it looks unlikely to be implemented. It is potentially of interest to others outside Queensland with an interest in tenant participation. File is 4MB PDF.

Planning Changes - What it means to You! - 23 October 7.30pm
by REDWatch, last updated: Nov 13, 2012 10:56 PM
The State Government recently published a “discussion” paper for changes to planning controls across NSW. This will replace planning legislation that has long underpinned the State’s planning controls. If approved, the changes fast track economic development across the inner city and are likely to result in overdevelopment in your neighbourhood. While reform is needed, the changes have been condemned as pro-developer and remove the wider public from the process. Notably, even ICAC have raised concerns!
A New Planning System for NSW Green Paper - Until 14 Sept
by REDWatch, last updated: Nov 13, 2012 10:55 PM
The NSW Government is creating a planning system for the 21st century. A planning system focussed on the public interest. A planning system that places people and their choices at the heart of planning decisions about their future. On 14 July 2012, the NSW Government released A New Planning System for New South Wales – Green Paper, a bold step in the development of a new planning system for the State. The Green Paper outlines major changes in five key areas of the planning system, these are: * involving the community early in guiding planning decisions that will shape the growth and future of our cities, towns, and neighbourhoods; * placing much more emphasis on preparing good policies upfront to guide growth and development; * reducing red tape and delay for the assessment of development applications for all types of proposals; * ensuring that infrastructure is planned and delivered to support new and existing communities; * promoting a ‘can do’ culture in the planning system and ensuring that councils and the government are accountable for delivering the results they have committed to; and * providing greater access to information about planning policies, planning decisions, and your rights in the planning process.
