Planning Act 2023

This section applies if—

the proponent of a development proposal consults the design review panel about the proposal under section 100; or

the territory planning authority refers a development proposal in a development application to the design review panel under section 171 (2) (b).

The design review panel must—

consider the proposal; and

either—

provide the proponent with advice about how the proposal could be made consistent, or more consistent, with any design principles (design advice); or

tell the proponent that the panel has no advice about the proposal; and

if the panel provides the proponent with design advice—give a copy of the design advice to the territory planning authority.

Note If design advice is given, the proponent’s response to the design advice must be included in the development application (see s 166 (2) (d)).

If the proponent does not submit a development application for the development proposal within 18 months after the design advice is provided, the design advice expires.
