Regional Plan

In June 2005, the Queensland State Government (Department of
Infrastructure & Planning) released the South East Queensland Regional Plan.
The purpose of the Regional Plan is to guide growth and development in
South East Queensland to 2026. The Regional Plan is the pre-eminent plan for
the region and takes precedence over all other planning instruments. The
Draft South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031 has been released for
public consultation. The draft Plan does not alter the status of the subject
site.

Under the Plan, the subject site is identified within the Urban Footprint
designation. This designation identifies land predominately allocated to
provide for the region's urban development needs to 2026. The Regional
Plan therefore seeks to focus future urban growth within the Urban Footprint.
The Plan also encourages consolidation within this designation by increasing
the density of development. In this case, the proposal is appropriate within
the Urban Footprint and is an appropriate reuse of business premises.

State Planning Policies

State Planning Policies (SPP) are a statutory instrument prepared under the
Integrated Planning Act 1997, which provide for State government interests
to be considered in development related matters. The development
application must have regard to all relevant and applicable State Planning
