Draft Planning Scheme

The development of the Draft Lockyer Valley Planning Scheme has been ongoing. Significant work has been undertaken drafting the contemporary document and undertaking extensive supporting studies to ensure the planning instrument supports the needs of the Lockyer Valley now and into the future.

In November 2022, Council endorsed the Draft Lockyer Valley Planning Scheme and approved for the planning instrument to be submitted to the Queensland Government for statutory State Interest Review.

Once the State Interest Review is completed, Council will receive notice to proceed to community consultation. It is anticipated that consultation of the draft scheme will take place in mid 2023.

Notification of this phase will occur in the weeks leading up to engagement and will include various ways in which the scheme can be viewed and the community can have their say.
