Calls for a return to in-person DPC meetings

There should be a return to in-person DPC meetings, according to the ESG’s Janet Howitt and others who are dissatisfied with the current planning system.

Speaking on Thursday night’s Viewpoint, Minister for the Environment John Cortes said he had no objection in principle, but stressed that the decision ultimately rests with the Minister for Town Planning.

The discussion focused on whether the development and planning process is fair, with panellists arguing that the odds are stacked against objectors.
