Leafing through the new Mepa Bill, it is immediately apparent that consultation has been given more importance at all levels. The new stages of consultation in planning and policy development levels, as well as clearer regulations on access to information, will allow planning and development to be discussed more openly and transparently.
This new pledge for openness is evidently resonating well with our hardworking NGOs. It has been difficult to imagine how Mepa could possibly be reformed to emerge from its perceived quagmire but, if fully implemented, this reform will be the Prime Minister's best legacy.
