E-planning System

1428 The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light) (24 September 2019). Has the development and design of the e-planning system encountered any difficulties and what have these been?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning): I have been advised the following—

To ensure the e-planning system will meet requirements, a system review was recently undertaken by a third party. The review focussed on solution architecture and design, IT security, testing and release, IT change and risk and issue management. The review confirmed that the approach was sound and that the program was well equipped to deliver a functional e-planning system at go live.

As the majority of components of the e-planning solution are being developed through agile project delivery, there are multiple check points for quality assurance and identification of issues. Ongoing testing also means system issues are being identified early to ensure they are corrected during the build.
