Join Mawambal CEO, David Newham, and COO, Heather Kember, on Thursday the 8th of October from 11:00am - 12:00pm for a Members Briefing on Recent changes in the Ministerial Directions for Planning Proposals in NSW.
Event Overview:
Recent changes in the Ministerial Directions for Planning Proposals in NSW have for the first time referred to Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP) and Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC). So in a profession full of acronyms, what do these new ones mean? In practice, these changes introduce a higher standard of cultural responsibility in planning. Direction P1.2 now requires proponents to demonstrate that cultural knowledge has been sought ethically, and that consent has been freely and fully informed. Whether you’re in Council assessing proposals or in consultancy preparing them, this webinar will provide an introduction to FPIC, ICIP and the new cultural guidance obligations and what they mean for your planning practice going forward.
