How the plan fits together
Planning for future happens on many layers both in Brisbane, South East Queensland and the State. Each level of planning sits within a larger planning scheme and is governed by that plans rules and guidelines.In Queensland there are four levels of planning:
These four levels of planning guide how our neighbourhoods, city, region and state can responsibly plan for future growth and sustainability.
The responsibilities for the creation of these plans is divided between Brisbane City Council and the Queensland State Government.
| Neighbourhood planning - My house/My Neighbourhood (Brisbane City Council) |
|---|
| Neighbourhood Plans are created by Council together with local residents and business owners to guide local development in Brisbane. Once plans are adopted they form part of Brisbane’s City Plan. |
| City Planning and economic development (Brisbane City Council) | |
|---|---|
| Brisbane City Plan | Brisbane City Plan 2000 guides and controls how development currently occurs across the City of Brisbane. A new City Plan is being prepared to replace the City Plan 2000 and help address the challenges Brisbane is facing in relation to increasing population, economic growth, sustainable living, housing choice and planning for resilience to natural disasters such as flooding. |
| Priority Infrastructure Plan (PIP) | The Priority Infrastructure Plan is a long term citywide plan for infrastructure (like roads and storm water) that integrates with land use planning in the City Plan. |
| Brisbane's City Centre Masterplan | The City Centre Masterplan sets a 20 year vision for the future of the Brisbane City centre and focuses on sites, streets and other spaces such as laneways and parks. |
| Brisbane Long Term Infrastructure Plan | This plan provides the strategic direction for infrastructure provision in Brisbane to meet the community’s needs while enhancing the city’s capacity for long term economic development. |
| Brisbane Economic Development Plan | This plan establishes the priorities to support Brisbane's capacity for long term economic growth. |
| Regional Planning (Queensland State Government) | |
|---|---|
| South East Queensland Regional Plan | In June 2005 the Queensland State Government released the South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan. The Regional Plan guides growth and development in SEQ. For more information about the plan visit Growth Management Queensland. |
| Sustainable Planning Act | This is the Queensland State Government’s planning legislation under which we write our plans. The Queensland State Government's Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA) came into effect on 18 December 2009. SPA replaces the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA). |
| State Planning (Queensland State Government) |
|---|
| State planning policies are planning instruments that the planning minister (or any minister in conjunction with the planning minister) can make to protect things that are of interest to the Queensland Government. |
