Development assessment is the process of granting development approval that is required for new buildings or structures, changing or demolishing buildings, a change in land use, or the division of land.
The new PDI Act 2016 will ensure that we enhance professionalism in decision making, spread decision making to a broader range of authorities and provide more opportunity for councils to work together.
It will also introduce assessment processes that flex with the complexity of the proposal, meaning quicker decisions for smaller developments and clearer, performance based, pathways for the assessment of larger developments.
