It is good practice to encourage council planners to use plain English to explain the basis of the assessment and the recommendations submitted for a council decision. Councillors should always ask a council planner to explain the report and recommendation if it is unclear. If the councillors do not understand the information, it is very unlikely the community will. The success of the planning system relies on a co-operative relationship between council planners and the council as a collective body.
