6.2  State and Territory planning approvals

(a)  All jurisdictions have their own planning legislation, as well as other planning policies and instruments. Jurisdictions will accept different obligations and risks based on the particular planning regimes applicable in their jurisdiction and depending on the unique circumstances of each project.

(b)  Notwithstanding paragraph (a), government will ensure that use of the land for the project is permitted under the relevant planning scheme.  Where the use is not already in existence, or not permitted by the relevant scheme, government will assume the risk of amending the scheme to ensure that the proposed land use is permitted by applicable planning Laws.
