The Gold Coast Planning Scheme

The Gold Coast Planning Scheme is a living document that will guide the growth and development of 'Our Living City', the City of the Gold Coast.

Residents, industry and State Government have been consulted about the Scheme before its adoption by Council on June 6, 2003. It became operational on August 18, 2003.

Who is the scheme for?

The Scheme was developed by Council in line with the State Government's Integrated Planning Act (IPA).

The Scheme is relevant to you - whether you are renovating a house, developing a subdivision or industrial site, or interested in protecting our city's natural environment.

Stepping through the Scheme - How to use the Scheme?

1. Identify your property address.
2. Locate your property on the Domain Maps or relevant Local Area Plan.
3. Check proposed use is consistent with the relevant use definition.
4. Consider your development proposal by comparing it with the relevant Domain's 'Table of Development'.
5. Identify the codes that apply to your proposal.
6. Obtain a Development Application Kit from Council.
7. If necessary, arrange for a suitably qualified consultant to prepare conceptual plans and supporting documents for your development proposal.
8. Schedule a pre-lodgement meeting with Council, if necessary
9. Lodge your application with relevant application fees and supportive information at any Council office.
