New planning initiatives to support business and industry

The Queensland Government has finalised a series of planning initiatives to support the state’s economic recovery. The Property Council provided a submission on the proposals, and is pleased to see a number of concerns addressed in the final documents.

The initiatives include:

  • Amendments to the Planning regulation to allow a streamlined approach for low-risk economic value adding uses
  • Changes to DA Rules to allow development applications to be publicly notified by digital or other media
  • Amendments to improve requirements relating to sign placement on land as part of the public notification process
  • Simplified rules for Ministerial and local government infrastructure designations
  • Changes to allow Local Government Infrastructure Plans (LGIPs) to be updated more frequently and regularly
