4.0 SOUTH EAST QUEENSLAND REGIONAL PLAN
As shown on Figure 4 below, the site is included within the ‗Urban Footprint‘ under the South-East
Queensland Regional Plan (SEQRP). As stated in the SEQRP document, the Urban Footprint identifies land
to provide for the region‘s urban development needs to 2026. The Urban Footprint focuses urban growth
in areas that:
                      Are well located with respect to existing and planned urban infrastructure, activity
                         centres and services;
                      Promote cohesive communities which support a wide range of services and
                         facilities;
                      Provide opportunity for redevelopment and infill in existing urban areas;
                      Are an orderly extension of existing urban areas or support existing centres,
                         including the region‘s smaller townships; and
                      Have access to existing or planned employment centres.

By its nature the proposed mixed use development consolidates these provisions and reinforces the site‘s
prime urban/coastal location with an outcome that offers a range of urban activities. The proposal is thus
fully compliant with the SEQRP.
