Purpose

Spatial development frameworks which this knowledge builder covers are a new approach to planning. It is an approach that echoes the notion of sustainability and sustainable development with its focus on using planning as a mechanism for contemplating, coordinating and delivering ‘joined-up’government.

Benefits

Spatial development frameworks are the new planning system. It will take at least two to three years before the full implications and significance of this approach begin to emerge. In the meantime, there is a re-adjustment underway of all those involved in planning.
