The Resource Planning and Development Commission Act 1997 established the Resource Planning and Development Commission (the 'Commission') as a statutory body. From 1 January 1998 the Commission assumed the functions of the former Public Land Use Commission, Sustainable Development Advisory Council and Land Use Planning Review Panel.

The Commission oversees the State's planning system, is responsible for state of the environment reporting, assesses public land use issues and projects of State significance, and reviews water management plans.

Membership of the Commission represents a range of community, industry, conservation and Local and State Government interests and comprises a full-time Executive Commissioner and five part-time Commissioners.
