Earlier in the month Andrew Barr was asking you to get your submissions in on proposed changes to the Territory Plan to improve solar access to new single occupancy developments (rendering them more expensive) while at the same time making it easier to infill multi-occupancy developments.
Yesterday (a Sunday) Mr Barr announced he was extending the consultation and establishing a new body to look harder at the issue.
Because these proposed planning changes have such far reaching implications for the environment and our community, and based on feedback we’ve received I have asked for the reference group to be established to help ensure the proposed changes are practical and workable and deliver the desired outcome.
The consultation now closes on 17 September.
