Municipality of Highlands East Council Regular Meeting
The council meeting focused on a proposal to streamline the consent process for land development. The proposed changes aim to implement a one-window approach, consolidating interactions through the county rather than requiring separate processes at both local and county levels. The discussion highlighted anticipated benefits, including improved customer experience, reduced administrative redundancy, and clearer timelines for applicants, while maintaining the required local municipal input within the planning process.
