In response to feedback from councils and communities, the State Planning Commission has released a Planning and Design Code Phase Three (Urban Areas) Code Amendment - Update Report. This report has been prepared by the State Planning Commission as the half-way point in the consultation phase for the draft Urban Areas (Phase Three) Code Amendment. The report highlights some key proposals for improvement to the Code, including a range of technical and policy improvements that the Commission proposes to the Phase Three draft Code in response to feedback received during October and November.

Given the status of the consultation process, this is not intended to be a full summary of all proposed changes to the Phase Three Code and should not be taken as such, it is intended to provide support to the engagement process.
