Town Planning Report (rec. 16.04.25) · MCU25/0042

State Planning Policy (SPP) commenced in July, 2017 and is a key component to Queensland’s land use
planning system, which enables development to occur while protecting the natural environment and
allows communities to grow and prosper.

The State Planning Policy provides for Part E which is the Interim Development Assessment Requirements
for assessment until the Policy has been integrated into the relevant Planning Scheme.
