Will the reduction in the Land Use Planning program's staff numbers place increased costs of the transition to the State's new planning system onto councils? The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly Schubert Minister for Transport Minister for Planning State Planning System The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning): I have been advised the following— The Department of Transport, Planning and Infrastructure is taking into consideration the impact of any changes associated with the staged introduction of the new planning and development system across the state on all users of the system. This includes the replacement of any electronic systems with one standardised system and its impact on the need for maintenance and enhancement at the local level. Beyond 1 July 2020, it is intended that the Planning Land Use Services directorate would provide for ongoing support and assistance to councils through a dedicated customer service support function for users of the system. Training and education will also be a key focus area.
