I do not approve of this. It is an outrageous abuse of power and goes against its own planning policies, among several others.
MZOs should be used in they way they were prior to this Government.
Ministerial Zoning Orders should only be used in very, very exceptional circumstances, not to greenlight development. As opposed to extending the authority of MZO's, the amendments I would like to see to MZO's are the following:

The raft of MZO's has been absolutely devastating. In these days of Climate Change the environmental degradation caused by inappropriate application of MZOs is glaring.

This is so disrespectful to cities and the people who live in them and are passionate about their built landscape, about heritage, about the environment, about the future.
