John Mant OA, City of Sydney Councillor 2012 to 2016
John Mant was born in 1936 and raised in Sydney. He studied arts and law at the University of Sydney, and then gained a Diploma in Town and Country Planning.
As one of Australia’s leading experts on planning systems and local government, his expertise spanned the fields of planning law, housing policy, development control, organisation design and development, place management, and urban management.
Mant was also adviser to Labor Minister Tom Uren and acting commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). He co-wrote the Local Government Act 1993 and was personal private secretary to Prime Minister Gough Whitlam during his tenure. He was an early advocate for place management and was an adjunct professor of planning at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).
In urban management, Mant showed how the structure of organisations affects their outcomes and he restructured many organisations along these lines.
Mant died in 2021, leaving behind a legacy of streamlined local government legislation in NSW. He helped remove barriers to flexible governance, which influenced the reform of local government in other Australian states.
