Planning and Development

Our Current Projects

The Planning Act 2002 (NI) (the Act) provides that there will be a Norfolk Island Plan (section 7) and for the review of the Plan to be initiated every five years. On 26 July 2021, the Administrator, as the Minister’s delegate, agreed to commence the Plan Review under section 17(3) of the Act and determined the manner for the conduct of the Review under section 17(4) of the Act. Public comments on the effectiveness of the Plan are now invited and must be received by Monday 30 August 2021.  The current Norfolk Island Plan and supporting maps and development control plans can be viewed on this page at link Planning Instruments. Hard copies of the current Norfolk Island Plan and maps are also available at Customer Care and the Planning and Building Office at Kingston.  You can read the Discussion Paper paper on this page; it is designed to facilitate the review and comments on the NI Plan.
