ABSTRACT In NSW, Development Control Plans (DCPs) are the respositories of non-statutory planning policies that planners deploy to direct site-based outcomes. DCPs are much maligned as contributing to the complexity, uncertainty and confusion of the planning system. But in an increasingly standardised, generic and centralised planning framework, DCPs are unique in that they remain opportunities for experimentation and innovation and professional expression.

LANAI, Hawaii – David Theno, “ the man who saved Jack in the Box ”, was pronounced dead after he was pulled from the ocean onto the beach fronting the Four Season Resort Lanai. The accident happened on June 20. Theno was 66. Local news reports said Theno was swimming with his grandson, and as he was leaving the water, a large wave knocked him down. Bystanders helped carry him onto shore and attempted to resuscitate him. Firefighters arrived on the scene and continued CPR until paramedics arrived.
