Mayor Lehmann – Matters of public interest The Mayor noted that Fireants have been found at the bottom end of the region, and encouraged everyone to be vigilant and keep an eye out. Subject: Adoption of Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) File Ref: Officer’s Reports Action Officer: DPAD Background/Summary As part of the Somerset Planning Scheme a Priority Infrastructure Plan (PIP) was prepared. Subsequently the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA) was amended and the requirement for a PIP was replaced by a requirement for Council to prepare a Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP). An LGIP is similar to a PIP and forms the part of a planning scheme that identifies the Council’s plans for trunk infrastructure that are necessary to service urban development at the desired standard of service (DSS) in a coordinated efficient and financially sustainable way The purpose of an LGIP is to: integrate infrastructure planning with the land use planning identified in the planning scheme; provide transparency regarding a local government’s intentions for the provision of trunk infrastructure; enable a local government to estimate the cost of infrastructure provision to assist its long term financial planning; ensure that trunk infrastructure is planned and provided in an efficient and orderly manner; and 4 Minutes of Ordinary Meeting 9 August 2017 provide a basis for the imposition of conditions about infrastructure on development approvals. The incorporation of the LGIP into Council’s planning scheme involves a major amendment to a planning scheme as identified by the Statutory Guideline: Making and amending Local Planning Instrument (MALPI). Section 2.4B.1 of MALPI identifies that the first stage of the process is for the local government to decide to make a LGIP. This action was undertaken by Council at its Ordinary Meeting on the 12 August 2015. Subsequently public consultation of the LGIP and a Planning Scheme Policy-Design Standards was carried out from 24 May 2017 to Monday 17 July 2017. On submission was received (refer Attachment 1) from Queensland Urban Utilities (QUU). As you will note the submission is generally supportive of Council’ initiative
