About Domain Maps

The purpose of domains in the Planning Scheme is to demonstrate that Gold Coast City is divided into land units with common characteristics, for the purposes of land use and development control. The term Domain is introduced to identify those areas of the City with a particular use mix or development character (or that have potential in this context) that will benefit from the application of consistent planning guidance and development control.

Domains provide for the distribution, mixing and segregation of different types of development. Each domain is intended to provide for compatible development within identified parts of the City and to segregate incompatible development. Importantly, each domain is intended to include planning measures to achieve the Planning Scheme’s Desired Environmental Outcomes (DEOs).

A full explanation of domains is provided in Part 5 - Domains of the Planning Scheme.

The Domain Maps are produced at a scale of 1:2500 in the denser developed areas of the City and at a scale of 1:10 000 in the more open areas.
