Gold Coast TLPI

Gold Coast City Council has rushed through a Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI) to strengthen Council’s assessment of development occurring on flood-affected land.
The TLPI amends the flood overlay code to ensure:

• Residential uses are only exposed to medium or less flood hazard, and
• ROL’s provide sufficient land at or above the designated flood level.

The next step requires the Minister to approve the TLPI.  If this occurs it will have a commencement date of 8 December 2017, have a lifespan of two years, and will be considered in the assessment of all development applications including those that are currently being assessed.
