Planning Scheme Review - Wednesday, November 18, 2009

Council recently has commenced the administrative/procedural processes relating to the preparation of the Lockyer Valley Regional Council Planning Scheme.

The first of the procedural processes was to prepare a Statement of Proposals (SOP). The SOP whist not a regulatory requirement under the Sustainable Planning Act provides an opportunity for the community to gain an insight into the major challenges and opportunities facing the Lockyer Valley.

The SOP also provides the opportunity for the community to make an important contribution to the process of deciding how the identified challenges and issues for the Lockyer Valley can be addressed through the new Lockyer Valley Planning Scheme.

The draft SOP has now been prepared. The SOP is available for the community to peruse and provide feedback to Council. The final version of the SOP will be prepared, following the series of community meetings and the Whole of Government meeting. An issues paper identifying all of the issues/concerns raised during the initial community consultation period will also be prepared.

Community feedback on the draft SOP is encouraged and feedback/submissions will be accepted and considered by Council at all stages of the Planning Scheme preparation.

The SOP is available to be downloaded on Council’s Website and hard copies are available at the Gatton Service Centre situated at 26 Railway Street, Gatton and the Laidley Service Centre at 9 Spicer Street, Laidley.
