This approach allows for a differentiation between the role of the NSW Department of Planning and Environment in undertaking more detailed planning work in Planned Precincts and Growth Areas and the role of the Greater Sydney Commission in preparing region and district plans, together with other key plans nominated by the Minister for Planning or the Greater Sydney Commission.
