Just to getting you thinking - its about:

  • Reviewing our Regional & District Plans - what developments do we really need
  • National policy statements
  • Reviewing our current procedures & processes - regular reality tests
  • Heart of best practice - e.g. Quality Planning website
  • Attitude
  • Risk Management
  • Implementation of the Act
  • Case law - right legal advise
  • Focusing practitioners where they are best needed
  • Right support - does that job really need a planner to do it?
  • Sharing information
  • E-application templates for applicant
  • Audit not double reporting
  • Guideline document for applicant
  • Need for shared research and greater cooperation, common/consistent practice especially neighbouring local authorities
  • Enhanced and more comprehensive assesment of effects/applications
