Ipswich is currently one of the fastest growing cities in Australia and has consistently been one of the fastest in Queensland for decades.
It is important to make sure that as our city grows, the necessary trunk infrastructure is delivered where and when it is needed and achieves value for money for our community.
To make this happen, a new Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP 2024) has been prepared to form part of the proposed new planning scheme, Ipswich Plan 2024.
Public consultation on the draft LGIP 2024 was open from 12 June to 25 July 2023.
Council will now review and consider each submission received from the community and prepare a report on the consultation.
The LGIP may be revised as a result of items raised in submissions and changed circumstances such as drafting errors or new or changed planning circumstances or information.
Council will send the LGIP to the State government for its final review with a request to approve the LGIP as part of the Ipswich Plan 2024.
We anticipate that the Ipswich Plan 2024, including the LGIP, will be in effect in early 2024 depending on State government and Council approval.

Planning Scheme Overview

The planning scheme sets a future vision for the city and can directly influence the way our city grows and changes, while also helping to protect the things that matter most.
