The system of "spot rezoning" used by developers and landowners to remake large swathes of Sydney would disappear under a push by Planning Minister Rob Stokes, who wants to implement more extensive changes to the planning system than he was able to in his last stint in the job.
"My ambition, and it is a way off, but my ambition is a future where spot rezoning doesn’t have a role." "In some areas, you will review the plan and say nothing much has changed here, we can leave it the same. But you review it." "I'm not wedded to the ideology that we need these precincts. If there are other ways to deliver it, I'm happy to look at it," he said.
And he said he was open to looking at the thresholds at which large projects were classified as "state significant" infrastructure, meaning they would be approved by the state government, rather than councils or council panels.
