About

The aim of Better Planning Network (BPN) is for a robust and visionary planning system for NSW – one that fosters best practice environmental, heritage, social sustainability and design outcomes.

BPN advocates for the following:

  • Community well-being (which goes beyond just economic growth) must be at the heart or our planning system.
  • Involving communities in planning and decision-making is essential at every stage of the planning process.
  • Protecting our environment, natural and cultural heritage is fundamental to the well-being of our communities.
  • Development must comply with evidenced-based strategic planning
  • Infrastructure including education, health, green spaces, rail and road must go hand in hand with development.
  • Minimising corruption and developer influence must be a priority for our new planning system.

Here is our Constitution.

BPN membership and affiliation is open to community groups and individuals.
