Logan City Council is proposing to amend the Logan Planning Scheme 2006 to include a Priority Infrastructure Plan (PIP) in accordance with the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.
Council released the PIP for public notification from 31 October to 12 December 2011 in accordance with the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 section 117.
Next steps
Following the public notification period:
- Council has reviewed all formal submissions received during public notification period.
- Appropriate changes were made to the PIP in response to the submissions
- The draft plan will be submitted to the State Government for review
- The draft plan will be formally adopted by Council and included in the Logan Planning Scheme 2006 to guide development in the city.
About the PIP
Logan City Council has developed a Priority Infrastructure Plan (PIP) based on the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 framework.
The PIP predicts the infrastructure Logan will need over the next 15 to 20 years to service our growing population and support healthy, well-functioning neighbourhoods. The PIP identifies the trunk infrastructure across five networks:
- stormwater (drainage)
- transport (roads)
- parks
- water supply
- sewerage
The PIP will support Council in meeting Logan's future infrastructure needs by encouraging growth in areas where appropriate infrastructure already exists or can be efficiently provided. Council will update the PIP at least every five years to ensure it keeps up with actual growth in the city.
For Logan City, the Priority Infrastructure Plan:
- details a city-wide infrastructure plan for the whole community
- identifies the future infrastructure needs
- provides a transparent basis for calculating infrastructure charges applicable to new development
- ensures that new development pays its fair share of the cost for providing infrastructure
- enables services and facilities to be provided more efficiently and cost effectively
- enables current and future residents to be supported by high quality infrastructure
- helps manage the city's growth
- provides the framework for ongoing development, which in turn encourages investment.
Council aims to adopt the draft Priority Infrastructure Plan early in 2012.
