             Title of motion (required)                 Climate Action in Planning Schemes

             Motion                                     The LGAQ calls on the State government
             (required)                                 to abandon their position that prevents
                                                        Council's from codifying requirements for
                                                        energy efficiency, solar power and other
                                                        emissions reduction and adaptation
                                                        provisions relevant to new development
                                                        in their Planning Schemes.
             What is the desired outcome sought?        Queensland communities have the ability
             (required) 200 word limit                  to determine the pace of their transition
                                                        to a low carbon economy, and if desired
                                                        include provisions within their Planning
                                                        schemes that may exceed the statutory
                                                        minimum requirements of the National
                                                        Construction Code.
             Background                                 The state planning department currently
             (required) 350 word limit                  is of the view that planning schemes
                                                        can't include provisions on matters
                                                        otherwise dealt with in the National
                                                        Construction Code. However, other
                                                        states covered by the same code
                                                        regularly include such provisions in their
                                                        statutory plans.
