E-planning System

1434 The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light) (24 September 2019). What consultation exercises have taken place to seek feedback from councils, developers and other stakeholders regarding the e-planning system's functionality?

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

The e-planning system is designed and built to support the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016. Councils will be invited to take part in testing and share their feedback. Transition activities also offer regular updates on the development and progress of the e-planning system to ensure councils have appropriate knowledge of how the e-planning solution will function prior to going live.

It should also be noted that a suite of training and education sessions on e-planning will be rolled out (both digitally and face to face) approximately four to six weeks out from go live to ensure local government planning teams (and other system users) are ready when the code is switched on in their local area.
