Planning system indicators program Statutory timelines Planning system indicators program
The
planning system indicators program collects and analyses statistical data on statutory actions and decisions related to planning and development. The resulting indicators are a measure of the number and timeliness of actions and decisions in areas such as development assessment, statutory referrals, appeals and compliance.
The program is administered by the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure, as required under regulation 115 of the
Development Regulations 2008.
The data is supplied quarterly by councils and their development assessment panels, state government agencies involved in consultation and referrals, the Development Assessment Commission, private building certifiers and the Environment, Resources and Development (ERD) Court.
The purpose of the indicators is to identify where and how adjustments in policies, legislation and administration could lead to greater efficiencies in the planning system.
