Regulation 86 recognition
A planning authority (a council or the Minister for Planning) must seek the advice of a person with prescribed qualifications, or a person approved by the Minister, for various matters when preparing a development plan amendment. This is required under sections 25(4) and 26(3) of the Development Act 1993.
A person satisfies the requirements of Regulation 86 if they can demonstrate that they are either:
- a current corporate member of the Planning Institute of Australia
- included on the Minister's Regulation 86 list.
How to apply
To apply for Ministerial recognition, submit an application - (151.9 KB PDF) to the Minister for Planning through the Development Policy Advisory Committee. The committee will assess the application and advise the Minister whether recognition should be granted.
