What are the implications of 'modern planning'?

In the item about deferred lands in Peninsula News (October 16), Dr Alice Howe makes reference to "modern planning provisions".

It is unclear what the implications are of the use of this term.

However, I have one possible answer.

Dr Howe refers to "historic planning instruments which have applied to these lands for approximately 50 years".

Hopefully, "modern planning provisions" will apply and protect the land well beyond 50 years.

"Modern planning" should require provisions which address potential environmental and other damage which extends beyond 50 years.

A comparison of local environmental studies from 1970 to 2023 would show enormous variations and issues to address.

This comparison should be part of Dr Howe's exercise of "phasing out" the historic and replacing it with "modern".

Among the examples of issues deserving attention are the reduction in urban bushland, development of the North Pearl Estate, the sedimentation of more than two metres in Correa Bay, the Hillview St nursing home land, the limited life for Woy Woy tip, various traffic studies, and the sale of part of Austin Butler Reserve.

I dare not ask how "like for like" is applicable in this context.
