Planning approvals for Dummies

In January of 2007 the Department of Sustainability and Environment made an extraordinary decision to conduct research through Auspoll into what does and doesn't swing community support for planning applications.  Before the global financial crisis was putting the squeeze on major and minor developments, the State Government felt that developers and their proposals needed a leg up in creating positive spin for ideas that the community would normally reject.

In the spirit of transparency and accountability, Greg Barber has applied for the Auspoll report under Freedom of Information Laws and is now happy to share the results with the general public for the first time.
