|  » Queensland Town Planning Thread « I thought I'd start a thread on town planning in Queensland, how it works etc. etc. Feel free to add details (but only if you know what you are talking about) and ask questions. It would be good if this thread could be stickied as a reference as it probably won't be posted in often but may be read a lot. ___________________________________________ QLD has an application system called the Integrated Development Assessment System (IDAS). The IDAS system is a unique planning system in Australia as it uses performance based planning principles. This essentially means that as long as an applicant's proposal complies with the aim and desired outcomes of the City Plan it should be approved. The system in Queensland includes codes which contain both performance criteria and acceptable solutions. The performance criteria's is what is to be achieved by the development. The acceptable solutions are comments that the writer of the planning scheme (typically the local government) has written down as a way to achieve the performance criteria. Developments that comply with Acceptable solutions are usually approved very easily. A development is still able to be approved even if it conflicts with the Performance criteria as long as an effective argument is provided to show that it complies with the aims and desired outcomes of the planning scheme. This is quite difficult. I will add more information in the future.

| Other states use what is called a prescriptive planning systems , which from what I understand is more like saying you must do this, this and this here with these land uses only, and you can't do this and this. the performance based planning scheme is more developer friendly without sacrificing the needs of the public. Cheers for the sticky. BTW people, feel free to use this info on other forums etc.
