VC282 lessens the appeal rights of objectors in relation to single dwelling projects or Small Second Dwelling Projects.
Existing Planning Overlays may have more restrictive Thresholds for development, in which case the higher threshold test of the Overlay affecting the property may still impact the development of the property.
These changes are only newly announced today, so more detail will be forthcoming as Industry analyses the amendment wording and fully understands how the Amendment will benefit development of housing on sites.
