With recommendations from the new “Housing Delivery Authority”, the Minister for Planning has declared multiple new developments as “State Significant Development” (SSD). These developments bypass Council and regional planning panels, with all zoning and approvals handled by the Department of Planning. See the current summary list of local SSD developments as of the end of May 2026.
