The commencement of the new Planning Act in mid-2017 has been a driver for the Department of Infrastructure, Local Government & Planning (DILGP) to review how State interests are expressed in the planning system. In November 2016, DILGP released consultation drafts of the State Planning Policy (SPP), the State Development Assessment Provisions and the Planning Regulation. These drafts can be downloaded from this website. The draft SPP includes some important changes to the State interest – water quality.
The changes associated with the policy are likely to have some noteworthy implications for urban development, communities and the environment.
Stormwater Queensland is hosting a forum to assist in understanding how the Draft SPP proposes to change regulatory requirements for stormwater quality management.
The event is recommended for those involved in urban stormwater planning, policy or development. Submissions on the draft SPP close 10 February 2017 so the Forum is also recommended for any person or organisation considering making a submission on the water quality aspects of the policy.
An expert panel from a broad cross section of the industry has been convened for this event to provide different perspectives on the policy. The panel will include a range of speakers including:
- James Coutts, Executive Director, Policy & Statutory Planning (Department of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning)
- Brad Dines, Senior Policy Officer, Healthy Waters Unit (Department of Environment and Heritage Protection)
- Shannon McGuire, Principal Planner (Buckley Vann Town Planning Consultants)
- Kyle Robson, Director (Topo/International Erosion Control Association(IECA))
- Grant Witheridge, Director (Catchment and Creeks)
- Andrew O'Neill, Principal Scientist, Manager Water by Design (Healthy Waterways)
Further speakers are currently being finalised.
