Importance of Adequate Development Compliance from an Asset Manager's Perspective

Abstract

Councils have a responsibility to ensure that development within their region is provided to an acceptable standard. In addition to the expected quality of service, development should also be socially sound, financially sustainable, and environmentally responsible. The majority of development work is assessed and approved under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 by local governments. This provides a consistent and rigorous process, which ensures that the planning approvals meet community expectations.
