Decision-makers, Expert Witnesses and Advocates: The Roles of Planners in Merits Appeals
The role of planners is commonly examined in the context of local government decision-making processes. However, planners also participate in other institutional contexts. This article examines planners' roles in merits appeals in two jurisdictions in Australia. The author finds that planners carry out numerous functions in development assessment appeals—they participate as advocates, expert witnesses and decision-makers. However, these roles are not static. They tend to vary depending on the procedural model utilised by the tribunal or court. This article examines the different ways that planning expertise is employed in the Land and Environment Court (NSW) and the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
