In the fast lane: Bypassing third party objections and appeals in third party planning process (original) (raw)

This paper examines the impact of third party objection and appeal rights (TPOAR) in the context of medium density housing (MDH) in Australia. It highlights the tension between compact city policies and community resistance to MDH, assesses the current state of TPOAR within planning processes, and discusses potential reforms aimed at streamlining these rights to facilitate housing supply. The research identifies key evidence gaps related to the distribution of TPOAR access across metropolitan areas, its impact on housing supply, and the potential emergence of new forms of community resistance following TPOAR removal.
