This paper examines the distribution of decision-making powers under the proposed reforms to the New South Wales planning system, with particular reference to Ministerial discretionary powers, development assessment, and appeals.SummaryIn April 2013 the Government of NSW released a White Paper and two Exposure Bills detailing its proposals for the reform of the State planning laws.
