Preparation of state planning policies
58 Preparation of state planning policies
The
Commission may prepare state planning policies on behalf of the
Minister.
The state planning policies will collectively set out the State's overarching goals or requirements for the planning system (to be given effect through the other instruments under this Division).
A state planning policy may—
include any matter that is relevant to planning or development within the
State by setting out or including policies, objectives or principles that are to be applied under the provisions of this Act or the terms of the state planning policy; and
include any other matter considered appropriate by the Minister; and
without limiting paragraphs (a) and (b), make provision for or with respect to any other matter contemplated by this or any other Act as being the subject of a state planning policy (to such extent, or in such manner, as the Minister thinks fit).
A state planning policy is not to be taken into account for the purposes of any assessment or decision with respect to an application for a development authorisation under this Act.
