E-Planning 3E – PlanningExecutive SummaryThis report was commissioned to study the usage of e-planning tools in New South Wales (NSW) located in southeast Australia, its benefits and possible problems to the system of e-planning.This research draws attention to the fact that e-planning has really helped the urban planning sector in NSW due to the usage of tools like application tracking, electronic housingcode, interactive building, planning viewer and local insights. Further investigations reveal that e-planning faces some pitfalls which raise the issue about anonymity, identity and easy access to information which may lead to problems. These limitations however have not outweighed the benefits of e-planning. It is recommended that NSW employs more tools suchas cyber Quest, STRAD and Strategizer in order to better the services of e-planning in the area.
E-Planning 4Introduction Notably, E-planning is the use of IT tools or systems, for example, geographical information system (GIS), planning support system (PSS) and database management system (DBMS). E-planning,in other words, can be explained as the broad use of communication and information technology as used in the urban planning process or the use of E-government principles to urban planning (Alexander, 2016). It is a setup which helps government officials and associates in easing planning activities. This use of technology-based tools helps deliver better planning information, services and results to the public. E-planning program has replaced the earlier traditional paper-based and face to face interactions to a more transparent and easier to use online environment where any data regarding planning can be readily available at any time. The shift to e-planning was accelerated by the need of having an urban planning process that is more efficient, with reduced costs and time efficient. E-planning in Australia has seen a rapid growth in the last fifteen years and in this paper we are going todiscuss the use of e-planning in one of the states in Australia, NSW, and how it has affected the urban planning process either positively or negatively.New South Wales (NSW) located in southeast Australia is one of the most populous states. It is estimated that 4.5 million people live in Sydney which is the Australian economic powerhouse (Bennadji, Laing, and Gray, 2015). This calls for a better urban planning process and NSW began its modern planning in 1945 where they had to make some legislative changes to the then local government (Bishop et al, 2017). These changes did not bring positive results and in the year 1979, a new body formed the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act (EPAA). EPAA was very important and was accepted widely from all sectors since it really helped people in planning. Reforms about planning in NSW are on the fast track nowadays and are majorly focusing on making the state an economic hub with the best urban planning layouts. These reforms have been a success in the state since its employment of the E-planning process. E-planning has led to a more efficient, fast, automated –based systems that have been of great help to developers.
