• The conference will analyse the key elements of the published Bill with a particular emphases in changes introduced since the previous draft bill published in early 2023.

• It will highlight the proposed changes in the area of plans and policies , development control, enforcement, judicial review and costs.

• The conference comes following the formal establishment of the Planning & Environmental List of the High Court; and provides a platform for proposals for further reform and refinement.
  

This will be of interest to practitioners at the Law Library, solicitors and others in profession services that will be interacting with the forthcoming Act and List.
