Oh dear…. the great step backwards

Voted to support the Bills in the Upper House: Labor Party, Shooters and Fishers, Christian Democrats and Government MPs

Voted against the Bills in the Upper House:  Greens NSW

Overall, the amended legislation still represents an enormous backward step on environmental protection and community rights.

BUT the strength of community opposition to the government’s developer-driven agenda will provide a firm foundation for our future work on the regulations, state planning policies and strategic plans.

We want to thank everyone who took action and acknowledge the tremendous work of the Better Planning Network over the past two years.  A summary of the amendments passed by the Upper House will be available soon.   Please take a few minutes to email politicians to let them know what you think of their position. Feedback is very important.
