Andrew Barr would have been watching that interview with his developer spade in hand ready to shovel the chief planner out of his highly paid job if he gave away the game. These well-timed media events were about sidelining the select committee’s report. There has been no attempt to use the committee’s recommendations to challenge the chief planner’s spin.

What is being proposed is an even bigger mess that will be less transparent and people focused. Clay should consider herself on notice that she is about to repeat the experience of former chair of this committee, Caroline Le Couteur. Caroline’s planning committee made important planning recommendations only to have them rejected by the BarrRatt executive.

The city requires new 21st century planning and compliance governance structures that deliver liveable and climate-ready urban built environments – ones that bring back the owls and enhance the biodiversity and will be a fun place to live. The community needs to be engaged to encourage developments that deal with the complex equity and social is - sues not being adequately addressed by the present Greenslabor cohort.

Liberal Mark Parton has said the proposed Planning Bill is anti-community and anti-environment, and should not be passed in its current form. He is stating the obvious and he is being polite. He knows that the chief minister and his chief planner are misleading the city’s residents over the future of the city’s developments.

The question for Parton, and his leader Elizabeth Lee, is whether they can engage with the residents with alternative and more meaningful planning and development policies, and can propose a more effective, transparent and equitable planning structure; one based on good governance.
