Reforming Appeal Rights under WA Planning and Environmental Legislation
Following the 2017 NELWA State Conference, NELAWA committed to examining issues raised at that conference regarding appeal rights in Western Australia’s planning and environmental laws. As the first stage in that process, the Law Reform Subcommittee (Isaac St Clair Burns - Chair, Jess Hamdorf, Darcy Doyle, Sam Lander, Connor Fisher, Aheli Guha) has prepared a discussion paper presenting a background to each of the current appeal options and outlining arguments for and against reform.
Reforming appeal rights under WA planning and environmental legislation - discussion paper
Comments on the Discussion Paper can be made to lawreform@nelawa.org.au until 31 October 2018.
Feedback received will form the basis for engaging with our membership to develop a policy paper outlining specific reform measures supported by NELAWA.
