Joint submission on the Planning Amendment Bill 2020 with Sex Workers Outreach Program (SWOP NT) and Sex Workers Reference Group (SWRG)

Scarlet Alliance, Sex Workers Outreach Program (SWOP NT) and Sex Workers Reference Group (SWRG) joint submission on the Planning Amendment Bill 2020 on March 23, 2020.

“With the welcome passing of the Sex Industry Bill 2019 and the imminent application of the recognised best practice model of the full decriminalisation of sex work to the NT, we want to ensure the implementation of a fair and transparent Planning Act that does not undo the intended benefits of decriminalisation on sex industry businesses and the broader community. Experience from other states demonstrates the negative impact that can result from an unfair and inconsistent planning system.”
