From 3 April 2023, NSW Councils were required to have a Conflict of Interest Policy in place for Council-related Development Applications.
One way for Councils to manage a conflict of interest is through the independent assessment of Development Applications.
At DFP Planning we are proud to provide independent assessment planning services to Councils across NSW.
The determination of tennis court lighting at Kingsford Smith Oval, Longueville, is just one example of an independent assessment we have undertaken.
This particular case shows the link between well-considered conditions of consent and the ability to demonstrate the impacts from development can be managed.
