​Our one day conference, now in its 10th year, is a key annual event with cutting-edge thinking from leading experts in the Planning Act regime. You’ll benefit from the discussion of current issues by our eminent speakers – who are all involved in nationally significant infrastructure projects and the NSIPs planning regime – at a time of significant challenges and proposed changes to the regime and related planning and environmental requirements.
