The Gold Coast is one of the fastest growing cities in Australia. To keep up with this growth, we need a clear plan for the delivery and funding of essential trunk infrastructure to support new homes, jobs and community spaces.
The Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) helps guide how we plan, build and fund key trunk infrastructure. It is a key part of the City Plan. Councils in Queensland prepare LGIPs to make sure this infrastructure is delivered in a coordinated and timely way as our population grows. The LGIP covers:
The LGIP helps Council manage growth and deliver essential trunk infrastructure to support our community.
It provides clear, accessible information about what infrastructure is needed, when it will be delivered and how it will be funded.
Watch the video to see how our LGIP works.
You can access the current LGIP and supporting information via the following links:
City Plan, Part 4 Local government infrastructure plan shows planning assumptions and standards of trunk infrastructure service we want to deliver.
City Plan, Schedule 3 Local government infrastructure plan mapping and supporting material shows predicted growth, trunk infrastructure demand, schedules and costs.
City Plan interactive mapping – LGIP shows what trunk infrastructure we are planning, where and when.
The schedule of works model lists the major infrastructure we need to service growth, along with its estimated cost and timing.
The following documents provided supporting information including background studies and reports when preparing the LGIP.
The Water Supply and Sewerage Infrastructure Plan 2019 (WSSIP) is now incorporated into the LGIP. To access the WSSIP and Water Netserv Plan, please visit Our plans.
As our city grows, we make amendments to improve the LGIP, ensuring it meets the evolving needs for our community. For details, visit City Plan amendments.
