Debate
Planning and Infrastructure BillContribution
The current drafting of Clause 52 of the Bill is worded in a way that it will not result in consistent assessments of housing need and the need for other types of housing between strategic planning bodies. My amendments would make four changes. First, they would replace the discretionary “may” with a requirement that spatial development strategies must specify the amount of housing that is needed in a strategic area.
