THE VALUE OF PLANNING … for environmental protection

Planning represents a coordinated approach to ensure that development is designed and located to minimise or prevent potential impacts, including on the natural environment.

This seminar examines how environmental values are addressed through planning policies or development applications.

Mark Stephens, Senior Environment and Community Development Manager, Stockland Communities QLD discusses how to plan a city with a sensitive receiving environment. Mark draws on Aura as a case study addressing integrated water cycle management, planning for biodiversity and the importance of stakeholder engagement in the development process.

Wayne Moffitt, Director and Principal Consultant at 28 South Environmental discusses the value of (flexible) planning - how considered diversion from the planning rules can deliver superior biodiversity outcomes. Wayne draws on recent project experience in the region.
