In a recent case regarding the interpretation of the Kingborough Planning Scheme, Justice Blow of the Supreme Court of Tasmania stated:
The planning scheme is very complex, and exceedingly and unnecessarily difficult to comprehend or interpret. Most ordinary people would not have a chance. Most sensible people, or people with a life, would not attempt the task unless they had absolutely no choice. In order to determine how the scheme operates in relation to the appellant's proposed development, it is practically essential to have a law degree, decades of experience in interpreting legal documents, a talent for understanding gobbledygook and misused words, a lot of time, and a very strong capacity for perseverance (AAD Nominees Pty Ltd v Resource Management and Planning Appeal Tribunal [2011]).
