Achieving The Purpose Of Ipa- A Case Of Hit And Miss, Tammy Johnson

Tammy Johnson

Extract:

The introduction of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (Qld) ('IPA') saw planning law in Queensland implement extensive reform measures. The catch-cry for IPA was 'integration'.

IPA looked to provide a completely integrated development assessment system ('IDAS'). This system sought to combat the inefficiencies experienced under the previous Local Government (Planning and Environment) Act 1990 (Qld). *

Town Planning legislation in Queensland had its roots in the 1930s and until IPA the fundamental nature of the legislation had remained virtually unchanged. In its second reading speech to Parliament on 30 October 1997 * Hon. D.E. McCauley touted IPA as 'state-of-the-art …

That task is complicated when pluralities and concurrences contribute to the vagueness or uncertainty that leaves us wondering what the controlling rule is or attempting to predict what it will evolve to become.
