9 November | Reform & Precinct Tracker

The PremierNational Property, Planning and Infrastructure team is launching a new ‘Reform & Precinct Tracker’ initiative to keep our clients and network informed on some of the key initiatives happening across NSW in the planning space.

We will issue the tracker monthly via email, monitoring major regulatory and legislative changes affecting property and planning, as well as some substantive precincts. It is designed to summarise at a glance the status of key initiatives to keep you informed.

Included in this blog, you will also find some high level PremierNational insights into the new Premier, Dominic Perrottet.

Please contact our Director Ilana Waldman, Special Counsel Lino Caccavo or Special Counsel Antony Anisse if you have any questions with respect to any of these items.
