SCRAP PART 3A 2508 developer road roller
With the NSW State government election looming in March 26,  the successful party will no doubt be one that commits to the removal of Part 3A Legislation - the most autocratic & environmentally damaging Planning legislation Australia has seen for over fifty years . Please e-sign your name  to demand this legislation is scrapped.  Names & details will be not shared with any third-party.

Re: Removal of Part 3A Legislation and restore environmental, community & elected councils' authority 
I object to NSW Department of Planning's Part 3A legislation, and demand its removal

. NSW residents want authority and priority restored  to the community, councils and environmental authorities

. The Department of Planning and Director-General should not be able to over-rule nor discount the communities', State or conservation authorities' valid arguements against a major development or LEPs (Sandon Point is a perfect example of DoP's excessive authority)

. Fast tracking of major projects and DAs at the expense of community consultation and in depth environmental studies is short-sighted and foolhardy.

. NSW State government has introduced, proposed and passed alarming planning legislation and shifting of responsibilities  in the past few years - that very few of the public were aware of, let alone their long term impact including

 - the State Environment Planning & Assessment Admendment Bill - to allow Petroleum and Gas exploration in our State Conservation areas and drinking water catchment, on the say so of the Planning Director General.

 -  a Part 3A application or state significant site can over-ride what is prohibited under the zoning in the respective council's environment plan.   Currently an elected council's LEP zoning that is adhered to by thousands of its law-abiding resident ratepayers, such as a minimum lot size,  land usage, conservation restrictions etc can be completely overriden by a large developer with enough money and connections to have the project approved - regardless of who or what will suffer.

Is this what the State taxpayers  or the next generation want? Is Part 3A legislation good for the State public, our environment or our future prosperity ? NO.

Please do what your voters and taxpayers want -  scrap PART 3A planning legislation.

Yours Sincerely
