Bayside Local Planning Panel

All Sydney Councils must have an Independent Hearing Assessment Panel under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. Our panel is called the Bayside Local Planning Panel.

The Bayside Local Planning Plan is charged with considering Planning Proposals (PPs) of any scale and value, and determining Development Applications (DAs) where the value is less than $30 million, and where there is a potential conflict of interest, or it is a contentious development, or there is a substantial departure from development standards (imposed by an environmental planning instrument), or it is a sensitive development .

The Bayside Local Planning Panel follows the directions given by the Minister for Planning to determine the type of developments that are referred to the Local Planning Panel, and the operational procedures that govern the Panel.

Statutory rules govern each Panel's operation, through a code of conduct and operational procedures.

Each Panel meeting comprises a chair, two independent expert members and a community member. The Minister for Planning has appointed independent, expert chairs for Councils to appoint to their Panel. Councils also choose two expert members to appoint to its Panel from a pool established by the Department of Planning and Environment and approved by the Minister for Planning. Councils recruit and appoint community members to the Panels.

Panel members are required to be expert in one or more of the following fields: planning, architecture, heritage, the environment, urban design, economics, traffic and transport, law, engineering, tourism, or government and public administration.

Panel chairs are required to have expertise in law, or government and public administration.

Councillors, property developers and real estate agents are ineligible to be Panel members.

The referral criteria for both development applications and planning proposals has been set by the Minister for Planning, and can be viewed on the Department of Planning and Environment's website.

The Chair of the Bayside Local Planning Panel is Ms Jan Murrell, town planner and former Commissioner of the Land and Environment Court. The two expert members for each meeting are drawn from the approved list: Marcia Doheny, Robert Montgomery, Ross Bonthorne, Anthony Reed, Helen Deegan, Robert Furolo, Stephen Moore and Lindsey Dey.

One community representative for each meeting is selected from a group of four established by Bayside Council: Thomass Wong, Jesse Hanna, Patrick Ryan and Amber O’Connell.

The Panel typically deals with approximately 120 of Council's development applications per annum from a total of around 850 received. The 730 applications not considered by the Panel are dealt with by staff under delegated authority - for those DAs valued at less than $10m - or by the Sydney Eastern City Planning Panel - for DAs valued at more than $30m.

Panel determinations are made as independent assessments consistent with the Local Environment Plan and Development Control Plans, adopted by Council.

Taking into account the COVID-19 situation and the National and State restrictions in place, face-to-face public panel meetings will not be held. Bayside Local Planning Panel Meetings will be held by teleconference. The Panel public Meeting will continue to be streamed live to Council’s Facebook page, with the audio-visual recording saved for at least 3 months after the Meeting, for administrative purposes. As the Panel Members are in separate locations, a static video image will be displayed and audio will be available.

The Panel meets on the 2^nd and 4^th Tuesday of the month commencing at 6pm. In some months, additional meetings are sometimes held.
