Regional planning

Regional Planning plays a key role in helping Queensland plan for and improve the quality of life for all communities.

The Queensland Government is committed to delivering a new generation of statutory regional plans which aim to foster diverse and strong economic growth; plan and prioritise infrastructure; manage impacts on the environment; and where necessary, plan for urban growth and resolve land use conflicts such as those arising between agricultural and mining activities.

This new approach to statutory regional plans will be driven by collaboration with local governments, key industry groups and the wider community to ensure the aspirations of all regional stakeholders are represented.

New statutory land use mapping will guide local governments in planning for their communities and give certainty to the industry and community.
