Do you want to learn about the measures the government is implementing to address the housing crisis, and how you can contribute? 

Discover the various themes and trends shaping planning law in NSW, providing valuable insights for navigating future developments.

Holding Redlich partner, Thomas Kwok, will present a masterclass on planning law in NSW in the context of the housing crisis. Planning law is at the heart of all land value in the State, and a key driver of commerce. Thomas will provide an overview of the planning law system from the point of view of public authorities – both consent authorities and agencies with development responsibilities, and the various themes and trends in planning law. 

With NSW facing a housing crisis at this point in history, Thomas will examine what the Government is doing to try to increase housing supply, and what lies within planning law history or existing laws to assist with the provision of housing. 

As a former public servant in the planning and mining portfolios and in a government development agency, Thomas combines private sector perspectives with a personal appreciation and experience from within government.
