A New Planning Act for Queensland

On Wednesday evening the 11^th May the Queensland Parliament passed the Planning Act 2016, Planning and Environment Court Act 2016 and Planning (Consequential) and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2016. It is expected that these new planning laws will commence in 12 months. ADC will keep you posted on the changes in the new act and exact timing as in formation comes to hand.

It’s Official – New Planning Laws to Commence in 12 Months

The package of Queensland planning reform bills was passed in parliament late Wednesday evening.

The new planning laws, compromising the Planning Act 2016, Planning and Environment Court Act 2016 and Planning (consequential) and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2016, will commence on a date to be proclaimed, which is expected to be 12 months from today to accommodate critical change management.

The Bills were passed with extensive amendments made in response to the April 2016 recommendations of the Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources Committee’s inquiry into the Planning Bills and in response to consultation on the supporting instruments.

On commencement, the news laws will replace the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009, subject to transitional arrangements.

Further to the information seminars we have already conducted on the Bills, we will be publishing a series of Developing InSight updates on the practical implications of the new laws, for both applicants and assessment managers.

I would like to thank you for your services with the two site visits to my property to identify the property boundary over the last two weeks.

I’d like to provide some feedback, in that you were both were really helpful, professional and communicative through the process, and I appreciated you talking me through some of the observations/findings whilst you were here.

Impressed with Arnold Development Consultant high level of service and proactive approach.

We engaged Arnold Development Consultants to do the survey work for our subdivision and have been impressed with their high level of service and proactive approach not only doing the survey work, but seeing the lot sealing process through to its completion. They were always willing to go above and beyond and we really appreciated their experience and guidance through this process. You have been fantastic and we will definitely be back for future survey work.
