13. Consistency Review: Local Laws and New Planning Scheme
Resolution: Moved by Councillor Marnie Doyle:
12. Consistency Review: Local Laws and New Planning Scheme
Council is implementing a new planning scheme (the draft scheme) that will commence on 1 July 2025. As a result of this, a project has been undertaken comparing the draft scheme with Council’s current local laws to determine any critical gaps or inconsistencies that could impede regulatory functions once the draft scheme commences.
Out of Council’s 14 Local Laws and Subordinate Local Laws only 7 require changes – with 18 key changes identified. In July 2024, Council resolved to commence the formal local law-making process to enable those key changes to the identified local laws to be made in a timely manner and coincide with the commencement of the draft scheme. The local law-making process has now been completed and this report provides outcomes of the public consultation, anti-competitive provisions review and State interest check process with the amending laws now presented for adoption. (Note: this report was provided for information previously to the Regulation Advisory Committee on 5 February 2025 and subsequent Finance and Governance and Ordinary Council meetings in February 2025.)
If this report is now adopted by resolution, and as required by the Local Government Act 2009 , commencement of the amended laws will occur within one month by publishing a notice in the Queensland Government Gazette and on council’s website. With the draft scheme set to commence on 1 July 2025 then commencement of the laws will coincide with that date.
