ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                                         22 OCTOBER 2015


                         N.     The Planning Bill introduces the ability for costs to be awarded in regard to
                                enforcement notice appeals. However it is unclear in the drafting as to the rules
                                when costs would be awarded and it is considered that the same criteria as
                                proposed for development application appeals should apply to enforcement notice
                                appeals; and
                         O.    The State Government is to be commended in acknowledging that the planning
                               system must be grounded in local communities and for recognising and supporting
                               the central role of local government in land use planning and decision making. In
                               addition, the commitment the State Government has made to providing time and to
                               consider funding support for local governments to manage a transition process to
                               new planning legislation is appreciated. Council is also pleased that the former
                               appeal cost provisions of SPA have been returned.
