From mid to late November the Environmental Defender's Office (EDO) and Total Environment Centre (TEC) will be holding FREE workshops in Sydney and regional centres to collate community views regarding the NSW Planning System and how it can be improved.
These will be particularly relevant to anybody who has ever submitted to a major project, the Regional Strategies, Housing Codes, engaged with the 2008 Planning Reforms or been involved in a community consultation process with a developer.

Each workshop will include a brief overview of the Planning System and case studies specific to each region. Community feedback and views will be compiled into a report to be presented to the Minister for Planning and the Department early in 2010.

There will be capacity to interview groups and individuals who cannot attend or wish to give in depth feedback on particular experiences after each workshop.

EDO is also seeking feedback and views on indigenous engagement with the planning system.

* These workshops are funded by the Department of Planning NSW and will be jointly facilitated by the EDO and Total Environment Centre.
