The LGIP is intended to be reviewed and amended at regular intervals, to make sure it responds to growth and changing demand for trunk infrastructure. Amending the LGIP follows a statutory process and is done in accordance with the Minster’s Guidelines and Rules. Our most recent LGIP amendment was adopted and came into effect in December 2021 (LGIP Amendment No. 1).

In June 2023, Council resolved to commence the process for amending the LGIP to reflect:

• refinements to trunk network planning that have been completed since December 2021,
• updates to the Schedule of Works (SOW) to reflect these refinements and updates unit costs to deliver trunk infrastructure, and
• administrative updates to make the LGIP easier to read and use.

The State Government has now reviewed the proposed LGIP Amendment No. 2 to ensure it meets the Minister’s Guidelines and Rules requirements ahead of public consultation.

We are now inviting public comment on the proposed Local Government Infrastructure Plan Amendment No. 2.

Please review the proposed Amendment before making your submission.

Hardcopies are also available to inspect or purchase (in full) from Council’s Customer Service Centres during business hours. Specific bundles can be purchased here.

Submissions must respond directly to the changes proposed to be considered a “properly made submission”. Find out how to make a proper submission.

City of Moreton Bay is one of the largest and fastest growing council areas in Australia. Around 240 people are moving here every week, which will see our population grow from about 520,000 people to near to 800,000 people by 2046. Managing this growth requires investment in a range of infrastructure and services, by all levels of government and the private sector.

We know from Moreton Says, that as our population grows and development occurs, recognising and enhancing the unique local identities across City of Moreton Bay is important to our communities. Our communities have told us they would like us to plan for parks and recreation places, leafy green character with trees in streets and yards, connections to bushland and waterways and friendly streets for riding bikes and walking.

We continuously review and adjust long-term planning. This helps us to deliver the infrastructure needed to service projected residential and economic growth, while maintaining the natural spaces our community loves.

This planning supports our goal that by 2033, City of Moreton Bay will be a network of well-planned and connected places and spaces, enhancing lifestyle, accessibility and employment choices.

It is important infrastructure is delivered where and when it is needed. To guide the delivery of trunk infrastructure (stormwater, roads, active transport, parks and land for community facilities), our Planning Scheme includes our Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP). A LGIP is important because it:

• integrates infrastructure planning with land use planning
• identifies trunk infrastructure necessary to support and service our growing communities
• preserves the land needed to deliver future infrastructure
• ensures trunk infrastructure is planned and delivered efficiently and in a cost-effective way
• provides a basis for Council to levy infrastructure charges on new development. These levies can then be used to fund the trunk infrastructure.

Your feedback during the consultation period will help inform the finalisation of LGIP Amendment No.2 before the State Government and Council consider its adoption.
