New Declared Classes of Planning Scheme Amendments

On 27 August 2025, the Minster for Lands, Planning and Environment declared classes of planning scheme amendments that do not require public exhibition.

The declaration, made under section 11(3) of the NT Planning Act 1999, is another tool government is using to cut timeframes associated with proposals to amend the NT Planning Scheme 2020. The classes include those recommended by the recent Approvals Fast Track Taskforce, together with additional measures that remove duplicative exhibition and provide an accelerated assessment pathway for eligible low-risk amendments.
