Overview
Assessment panels play a critical role as a relevant authority in affording representors and proponents the opportunity to have their say on applications for planning consent for notifiable performance assessed development. With the loss of third party rights of appeal, compliance with procedural requirements has assumed greater significance.This training will consider the role of Assessment Panels and Assessment Managers, the nature of development assessment and decision making, meeting procedures, the imposition of conditions and reserved matters and the conduct of assessment manager reviews. This training will be co-presented with two experienced Presiding Members of Council Assessment Panels and an experienced Assessment Manager who will share their observations, experience and tips & traps.
