The Integrated Planning Act 1997 (Old) (IPA) represents a major legislative reform of the planning system in Queensland. The IPA came into effect on 30 March 1998. In the period November 1998 to February 1999, a team of researchers at Griffith University conducted a series of interviews with planning and development consultants in an attempt to gauge stakeholders' views of the new Act and its early implementation. This article reports on that feedback. While it is difficult to make recommendations on the basis of such preliminary feedback, the evidence suggests that continued support for administrative restructuring is essential if the goals of the IPA are to be realised.
