Clause 4.6 Variations

PIA Bartier Perry Insight Series 

Our expert panel will take you through all aspects of clause 4.6 Variations. Each presenter will be passing on their view point and experience to assist you in understanding how determining authorities interpret and apply clause 4.6 variations. To fully embrace the topic, we have assembled for this seminar:

• Leading planner David Ryan from City Plan Services;

• Respected urban designer Russell Olsson from Olsson & Associates; and

• The knowledgeable planning barrister, Dr James Smith from Martin Place Chambers

Collectively, our speakers will help you to understand what makes a compelling clause 4.6 variation, when it should be used, and how are consent authorities, including the Courts, assessing them.
