The Pulse’s Ross Elliott has written an excellent article on the administrative bloat that has engulfed Australia’s planning industry.
Elliott notes that lawyers he has spoken with told him “they didn’t really know how many [planning-related] pages of rules and regulations were now in force—just that it would be so many as to be impossible to count”.
This complexity has led the Planning Institute of Australia to call for more town planners rather than calling for less red tape.
