On 30 July 2021, the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces signed a new Order, which allows construction works to occur Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays; Reference: Environmental Planning and Assessment (COVID-19 Development—Construction Work Days) Order (No 3) 2021

The new Order follows the recent pause on construction activity, which was necessary to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. The Order will ensure the continued safe delivery of new homes, transport, job-generating projects and community facilities. This is necessary to help the industry get back on its feet and support the economy.

Please be advised; SIMTA will respect this Order and will continue to conduct works as per our development consent conditions.

The development specified in this Order may be carried out without the need for any approval under the Act if it complies with the conditions specified for the development.
