🏠🌇𝗔 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗤𝗹𝗱? 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝘆Queenslanders are being asked to have their say on a major overhaul of the State Planning Policy (SPP) — the document which helps set the rules for how and where development happens across the state.🌆The State Government wants to ensure the SPP can adequately respond to population growth and housing needs while making the planning system clearer, and it also wants to support infrastructure and economic growth across the state. 🏡Among the proposed changes are a stronger focus on increasing housing supply and encouraging higher-density development around established urban centres and transport corridors. The SPP will also seek to streamline how issues such as environment, heritage, coastal zones and natural hazards are considered in regards to future growth.🏙️𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐬In their formal submission local advocacy group Development Watch Inc (DW) stated that they opposed the Draft Queensland State Planning Policy 2026. “We hold severe concerns regarding the proposed framework for natural hazards and safety. Our primary ground for objection is that the draft SPP fundamentally fails to advance the overarching statutory purpose of the Planning Act 2016.” DW cites climate change principles as a key reason for their concerns with the SPP. “Evaluating flood plain hazards usinghistorical data rather than forward-looking climate projections directly violates Section 3 of the Act. In sensitive flood catchments such as the lower Maroochy River around Coolum, relying on static data will inevitably result in severe underestimation of flood heights and frequencies.” 🏠𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞?The SPP filters down into local planning schemes and influences the way our communities grow.📣If you would like to have a say, you have until 11:59pm this coming Monday, October 26. 🤔What do you think? How should development look in the future within our region? Share your thoughts in the comments below 👇 ...
