Part 1 State Planning Policy

The State Planning Policy (SPP) is a key component of Queensland’s planning system. The
SPP expresses the state’s interests in land use planning and development. The SPP sets the
state interests that apply to plan making that should be given effect through the planning
scheme.
The Minister’s conditional approval relevant to this report relates to SPP – State interest for
Planning for Liveable Communities and Housing (Housing supply and diversity) and Planning
for Economic Growth (Tourism). The SPP interests relevant to the Minister’s conditions are
outlined below.
1.1 Planning for liveable communities and housing
For the state interest of Planning for Liveable Communities and Housing, the SPP states in
part:
       Liveable communities are well-serviced, accessible and attractive environments that
       provide the foundations for a healthy, sustainable and prosperous Queensland…
The SPP divides this state interest into housing supply and diversity and liveable communities
for the purpose of identifying the state interests as outlined below.
1.1.1 Housing Supply and diversity
The SPP states in part that for housing supply and diversity:
       Housing across the state needs to cater for different
       households and family types, ages, community needs,
       lifestyles, and incomes. The state is interested in ensuring
       sufficient land and housing stock is available in appropriate
       locations to support development, resource and infrastructure-
       related projects, and to meet the diverse needs of all sectors in
       the community.
       Affordable, accessible, innovative and adaptable housing is
       required throughout all regions of the state to ensure a range of
       housing is available to all sectors of the community, including
       Queensland’s ageing population…
The state interests for housing supply and diversity are:
Diverse, accessible and well-serviced housing, and land for housing, is provided and
supports affordable housing outcomes.
      1. Land for housing development and redevelopment in areas that are accessible and
         well-connected to services, employment and infrastructure are identified.
      2. The development of residential land is facilitated to address and cater for all groups
         in the current and projected demographic, economic and social profile of the local
         government area, including households on low to moderate incomes.
      3. A diverse, affordable and comprehensive range of housing options in accessible and
         well-serviced locations, is facilitated through:
         a. appropriate, responsive and proactive zoning
         b. supporting an appropriate mix of lot sizes and dwelling types, including housing
              for seniors and people requiring assisted living
         c. considering incentives to promote affordable and social housing outcomes,
              particularly in areas in close proximity to services and amenities
         d. Best practice, innovative, and adaptable housing design and siting is provided
              for and encouraged
