  6. The benefits of the program

  7. What we have learnt • The significance of open access to ‘government-held’ data for industry and to inform evidence based planning within government. • That there are a number of legal, data, policy and financial hurdles still to overcome. • That success is about looking at the various participants in the planning system to see what their needs are and how to best meet those needs. • That success can only be achieved through collaboration.

  8. What we have learnt …. • That Local Government is looking to the State to provide direction on the future of ePlanning and the role Local Government will play. • Stakeholders are looking for regular updates to the tools to include additional functionality and integration with other tools and / or other agency processes. • There is a need to provide information and tools in languages other than English. • Stakeholders want to be able to make payments online.

  9. Feedback from stakeholders • “The suite of ePlanning tools are a fantastic initiative by the Department!!!! … Congratulations to the Department for this initiative and for providing the budget to enable Local Government to make this available. Great stuff!!!!” (Junee Shire Council) • “Great work - I really like the website and its interface!! Thank you for investing in this service!! Keep the updates coming!!” (Member of the Public referring to Local Insights) • “The new planning tools will make planning more accessible for communities, consumers & industry and should make planning faster and easier for all.” (Urban Taskforce)
