This report into protections within the Victorian Planning Framework is considered by the Committee to be an interim report. As a result of the timing of the inquiry being commenced, the Committee has been unable to undertake a full and comprehensive inquiry into what is an important issue.

Therefore, the Committee has recommended, as its only recommendation in the report, that a full inquiry be undertaken at the beginning of the next parliament to ensure that the issues raised in the terms of reference can be given due consideration.
