More on the Number of Objections
In 2015 we discussed The Planning and Environment Amendment (Recognising Objectors) Act 2015 which came into effect on 12 October 2015. The Act amended the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to require the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (the Tribunal) and responsible authorities (where appropriate) to have regard to the number of objectors to a permit application in considering whether a proposed use or development may have a significant social effect.
