Sustainable Planning Act 2009
The Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA) commenced on 18 December 2009. The Act is a result of extensive consultation and implements a number of the planning reform actions being undertaken by the Queensland State Government. The SPA will replace the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA).
Foreshoreways
Council's network of green trails along the city's beaches and waterways continues to grow, with work soon to start on eight Foreshoreways and planning underway for a further 11.
Access to the foreshore through green feature areas is a key tool in planning the growth of cities to protect the environmental integrity of waterways and coastlines.
