- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (19 Mar 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: The main reason is that the development plan process is going out to a ten-year period. The RSES will be in effect for a period of more than ten years but not more than 20. There are longer time periods for plans. The time required to compile those review cycles is important. It gives a longer timespan to monitor and evaluate progress on the implementation of the strategies. That is not...
