It makes plans based on evidence for the state's cities and regions, working with the community, business and local government to create places for people in NSW to live, work and spend their leisure time, while ensuring good access to transport and other services like shops and restaurants.[2]: 6, 9  The department was also responsible for the evidence-based assessment of state significant development applications.
