We need to change council planning rules that prevent community members from having a say on proposed development in their local area.
Queensland’s new land-clearing laws are a huge missed opportunity.
Local planning rules have prevailed in a long-running dispute over a proposed Gold Coast quarry that threatened the amenity of nearby residents and koalas.
Changes under Queensland’s recently instituted Planning Act give councils much more leeway in their decision-making, which makes it harder for appeals against decisions to succeed.
