Insights from the NSW Land and Environment Court
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the NSW Land and Environment Court and its relevance to architects with Chris Shaw and Tim Horton on 27 November.
Our first event in May showed the breadth and depth there was to cover in this topic, leading to many questions and much discussion, and a commitment to run a follow-on event. A summary of our previous event can be read here.
On Wednesday 27 November, we will keep the conversation going, continuing to explore the additional advice and insights our speakers have to offer. Once again, Chris Shaw and Tim Horton promise to deliver an informative presentation extending across a number of topics including:
- The value of understanding the remit and structure of the Court – its objects, the LEC Act and parts of the EPA Act and Regs;
- Resolution through conciliation and the role architects can play in arriving at alternatives;
- Obligations of architects in preparing documents on which the Court relies; and
- Thoughts on Good Design in the Act, policy and environmental planning instruments, with reference to the Court’s Planning principles
