Dear
Minister
Joint Regional Planning Panel – Council Nomination
I am writing to you in response to
your letter of 11 May 2009 requesting
that Council nominate two (2) member for the proposes Joint Regional
Planning Panel (JRPP). Council at its meeting
on 22 June resolved that it will not nominate members to the JRPP until such
time as guidelines and codes of conduct are made available to Council and
issues relating to conflicts of interest have been resolved.
Council also request that the Minister
delay the implementation of the JRPP until Council has adequate time to
consider the implications of these codes and to obtain and consider legal
advice on the potential for conflicts of interest.
Council also wishes to draw to
your attention that Parramatta City Council has a Central Parramatta Planning Committee and requests that
this committee be given the same statutory powers as the City of
I would request your urgent consideration of the Council’s
request. Please contact me on 9806 5326
if you need any further information.
Yours
sincerely
Dr Robert Lang
Chief
Executive Officer
