NSW Planning appoints 'engagement' boss

THE NSW planning department has appointed a steward to steer its controversial community consultation reforms.

Laws mooted in a government white paper last week would require the state government and councils to consult early with the community in developing long-term planning ground rules for their region.

Residents would be informed but not consulted about some projects, and the state's 152 councils would not have the power to knock them back.

The Department of Planning and Infrastructure on Tuesday announced Trish Oakley had been appointed the bureaucracy's new executive director of community and stakeholder engagement.

In a statement, the department said she would bring more than 30 years experience in public policy development, strategic communications and stakeholder engagement when she starts on May 1.

"The cornerstone of the reform process is to comprehensively engage communities in planning the future of their neighbourhoods, suburbs and cities," DPI director general Sam Haddad said.

"The department recognises that, up until now, residents and community groups have not been given sufficient opportunity to have their say about big picture plans for their area.

"Trish will be using her detailed knowledge about best-practice community engagement to drive cultural change and improved community engagement outcomes."

The planning white paper is now open for community consultation.

Legislation will be introduced to parliament in the second half of this year.
