    Draft Ipswich Planning Scheme 2019 Statement of Proposals 3.7 Local Area Frameworks 3.7.1 Preliminary (1) The Ipswich Local Government Area has been divided into thirty local area strategic planning units based on geographically identifiable communities of interest (areas with identifiable boundaries and within which there are broad land use and planning commonalities) to which individual Local Area Frameworks apply. (2) The thirty Local Area Frameworks provide a more detailed spatial expression of the policies included in the Whole of City Strategic Framework (refer to sections 3.1 to 3.6) for each of the local area strategic planning units by: (a) including a description of the geographic extent of the strategic planning unit to which the Local Area Framework applies; (b) identifying the Valuable Features in the area that are of significance and are to be protected; (c) identifying the most significant Development Constraints that impact on development in the area and that need to be considered and addressed in allocating precincts and for development assessment; (d) setting out the Growth Management outcomes that are to be delivered in the area; (e) identifying the key Infrastructure that needs to be delivered to support growth and development in the area; (f) showing the preferred use of land in the area by including each property in a land use precinct designation; and (g) where there are different development options (including for example building heights, lot sizes, dwelling densities or different land uses) for an area or individual

  • Referral of Proposed Action
    Referral of proposed action Project title: Cross River Rail 1 Summary of proposed action 1.1 Short description The Cross River Rail project is a proposed new 10.2 kilometre rail link in Brisbane connecting Dutton Park in the south to Bowen Hills in the north. The project will include 5.9 kilometres of twin rail tunnels (one track in each direction) under Brisbane’s inner city and new underground rail stations at Albert Street and Roma Street (in the Brisbane CBD), Woolloongabba, Boggo Road and a new surface station at the Exhibition showgrounds. Upgrades and enhancements to parts of the existing rail network will be delivered where these interface with the project and to support Cross River Rail operations. READING NOTE: The Cross River Rail project has previously (2010) been referred to the then Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and Arts under reference number 2010/5427. The project was determined to be ‘not a controlled action - if undertaken in a particular manner’. Further planning and design has been undertaken since the original Cross River Rail concept was referred. This has resulted in a modified project of a smaller scale with reduced potential impacts and enhanced affordability. This referral has been prepared as a new referral based on key changes to the project resulting from further planning and design. The referral has been prepared as a stand-alone document that can be assessed without having to reference the previous referral. While the Cross River Rail proponent does not consider the proposed action likely to have a significant impact on a matter protected under the EPBC Act, this referral has also been prepared in light of the CRR 2010 EPBC decision including a number of particular manner conditions that require reassessment.

  • Question on Notice No. 1278 Asked On
    Question on Notice No. 1278 Asked on Tuesday 3 September 2019 MR S MINNIKIN ASKED MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND MAIN ROADS (HON M BAILEY) QUESTION: With reference to passengers using the QR City Network— Will the Minister advise (a) the amount of passenger fare revenue received over the past five financial years broken down as follows (i) peak and off-peak travel and(ii) fare category (e.g. adult, school student, child, pensioner, etc) and (b) the number of passengers/trips in each category? ANSWER: I thank the Member for Chatsworth for the question. The Palaszczuk Government has taken strong action to make public transport as affordable and accessible for South East Queensland (SEQ) commuters. Over the past five years, patronage has grown over 9.1 per cent and revenue has decreased two per cent. The decrease in revenue is mainly due to the Fairer Fares for the SEQ package (Fairer Fares) implemented in December 2016. Fairer Farers provided much needed fare relief across SEQ, and has introduced new concessions for job seekers, asylum seekers and veterans. Up to 112,000 people now benefit each week from the new ‘eight and 50’ policy introduced by the Palaszczuk Government. Only 80,000 people accessed the previous ‘nine and free’ arrangement each week in the 12 months prior to Fairer Fares being implemented. Those extra 32,000 people per week are enough to fill 711 urban buses. These initiatives have delivered more than $191 million in savings, as at August 2019, for Queensland public transport users across the entire SEQ network. The Palaszczuk Government is also delivering a $371 million ticketing system, which will revolutionise public transport statewide, from Coolangatta to Cairns.
