Southern Region Planning Panel

The Southern Region Planning Panel provides independent, merit-based decision making on regionally significant development. Applications for regionally significant development are notified and assessed by a local council and then determined by the relevant regional panel.

Regional Panels may also have a role in reviewing Planning Proposals, where the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure has appointed the regional panel to act as the relevant planning authority (RPA) or asked the Regional Panel to undertake a Pre or Post Gateway review.

Current & Past Matters

The Southern Joint Region Planning Panel attends to requests affecting Wingecarribee Shire Council.

Panel Members

Council's members are Mayor, Clr Duncan Gair and Clr Grahame McLaughlin until 3 September 2021.
