Flexibility in the Submitted Development Scheme – The Submitted Development Scheme is flexible to allow for changing trends and advances in technology and standards etc. FLEXIBILITY = INNOVATION. Collaboration – Whenever the officers at the ULDA have had any questions/issues, its been a collaborative process. This process has included all levels of government. Set up a robust plan making process that can move with the times. Stand alone document – This will ensure the submitted Development Scheme will survive the project (approx. 30 years). Program – Program is set by the Act and the ULDA has stuck to it! Challenges . Infrastructure Charges – Uncertainty on charges has made it difficult to finalise Commercial Assessments for the project. “Planning on Red Bull” – Commenting on the Development Scheme that refers to a specific Guidelines that haven’t been developed yet. Clarification of More Detailed Processes – Plan Sealing, street naming, easement documentation etc. Not Specific to Yarrabilba – ULDA would face challenges with timeframes if an area was declared of this scale that had limited planning work completed over the site. The work completed with LCC has been a major advantage for Yarrabilba.
