sec.8What are planning instruments

### sec.8 What are planning instruments A planning instrument is an instrument that sets out policies for planning or development assessment, and is either— a State planning instrument; or a local planning instrument. A State planning instrument is a planning instrument made by the Minister to protect or give effect to State interests, and is either— a State planning policy (including a temporary State planning policy); or a regional plan. A local planning instrument is a planning instrument made by a local government, and is either— a planning scheme; or a TLPI; or a planning scheme policy. To the extent of any inconsistency— a State planning policy applies instead of a regional plan or local planning instrument; and a regional plan applies instead of a local planning instrument; and a planning scheme applies instead of a planning scheme policy; and a TLPI applies instead of a planning scheme or planning scheme policy. A TLPI may also suspend, or otherwise affect, the operation of a planning scheme or planning scheme policy—see section 23 (3) . A local planning instrument must not include a provision about building work, to the extent the building work is regulated under the building assessment provisions, unless allowed under the Building Act . To the extent a local planning instrument does not comply with subsection (5) , the local planning instrument is of no effect.
