It has passed Parliament and received assent, though some or all of it may not yet be in force. The long title does not specify the direction or detail of the changes.
For planners: Because this amends the core planning Act in relation to housing and the planning system, planners and certifiers should review the actual amendments and check commencement dates, as some provisions may not yet be in force. Watch for consequential changes flowing into other legislation. The specific effects are not stated in the long title, so confirm details against the enacted text.
