ePlanning System

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:40): My question is to the Minister for Planning. Will the minister provide funding to regional councils to assist them in development of regional plans? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TELFER: A letter sent to the minister by the Local Government Association of South Australia on 25 August advises that several regional local councils are struggling to develop regional plans under the new planning system as they lack relevant staff and resources.

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Planning) (14:40): Under the current process with the 30-Year Plan, which has begun in the regions, we have provided funding to the State Planning Commission to do that and to engage with councils. I know for a fact that the State Planning Commission chairperson, Mr Craig Holden, has been out there talking to councils. I am happy to discuss with him about whether he has encountered any problems from regional councils, and I take the member's issue. I am happy to report back to the house on it, but I don't anticipate there to be resourcing issues because the government has resourced this process.
