The community has a key
role in the planning and development of cities and towns and rights under planning legislation. When a new planning scheme is proposed by the
local council, there is opportunity for community comment. The community also
has the right to make submissions
about some development applications
and have appeal rights against
some planning decisions. Some property owners want maximum flexibility in doing
what they want with their land, and minimum flexibility for their neighbours. This
can lead to conflicts about development proposals.

Developers
Most development occurs through
actions of private developers following approval of a development application. Developers have a key role in providing
land and housing stock, as well as other privately owned facilities such as
shops, offices and industrial buildings. As applicants, developers have rights
under planning legislation,
such as time frames for deciding development
applications and appeal rights
against some planning decisions. Developers have an incentive to push planning
and zoning rules in order to
maximise returns on investment. This can lead to conflicts about development proposals.

Key agencies
Many departments,
commissions, authorities and panels have roles in planning. The states and
territories each have different bases for how referrals to specialist
government agencies and departments (such as environment, infrastructure and
heritage protection) and panels are triggered in the planning process. Some have direct responsibilities for
implementation and enforcement under planning
legislation, while others have an important influence on outcomes.
Government land organisations (GLOs) are not regulators but can have an
important impact on land availability.
