Environmental Act and environmental vision

The Environment and Planning Act concerns the space in which we live, work and relax: the physical living environment. This new law merges laws and simplifies the rules for much of what you see, smell and hear outside. This allows you to learn about the rules and regulations of the various administrative levels (municipalities, water boards, provinces and the national government) in one go. The law applies to all residents, organisations and companies. The Environment and Planning Act came into effect on 1 January 2024.
