NSW Dept of Planning and Environment

The Department of Environment of Planning was established by the Environment Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 (Act No.203, 1979). The Department officially commenced on 1 September 1980. The replacement of the Environment and Planning Commission by the Department represented a development in the progress of planning within the State when a cental planning co-ordinating agency was required. The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act was the centrepiece of a range of initiatives related to planning passed by the New South Wales Parliament in 1979. Consequential to the enactment was repeal and amendment of a range of existing of legislation related to planning; establishment of the Land and Environment Court with a greater emphasis on environmental impact than its predecessor, the Land and Valuation Court 1921-1980 by the Land and Environment Court Act, 1979 (Act No.204, 1979); changes to the Heritage Act to allow for the existence of the Department and the Court by the Heritage (Amendment) Act, 1979 (Act No.206, 1979); and further regulation of the height of buildings by the Height of Buildings (Amendment) Act, 1979 (Act No.207, 1979). © State of New South Wales through Museums of History NSW
