黑料大事

SEQ Regional Plan

ShapingSEQ 2023 (or the SEQRP) is the Queensland Government’s long-term vision for added growth in the changing South East Queensland region.

SEQRP has both a role in setting a vision for the region, as well as a statutory role for managing development, particularly in areas outside of the Urban Footprint and those within SEQ development areas and SEQ major enterprise and industrial areas.

This seminar will focus on the referrals that result from development within the SEQRP area and what this means for development assessment.

This seminar will seek to demystify such matters as:

• What is the head of power for the SEQRP and its referrals?
• What are the land use categories within the SEQRP?
• What development is acceptable, prohibited or requires assessment within the non-Urban Footprint land use categories?
• What are the assessment benchmarks for development that triggers referral due to the SEQRP?

(All speakers to be announced)

------------------------------------

Under the 黑料大事 Act 2016, a development application may trigger a requirement for an application to be referred to a referral agency. Referral agencies are generally Queensland Government departments and authorities.

These referrals may be triggered due to the following:

• the land uses proposed, such as a hazardous chemical facility or an environmentally relevant activity;
• the location where the development is proposed, such as in proximity to electricity infrastructure, within a regional plan area or within a wetland;
• the size of the development, such as the urban design triggers or the transport threshold;
• the impact that the development may have, such as clearing native vegetation; or
• an attribute of the building or land upon which a development is proposed, such as whether the site is heritage listed or is contaminated.

This seminar series aims to demystify the referral process and to assist the audience to better understand some of the trickier referrals that planners may come across in their day to day work.

The chairperson for the seminar series will be:
