5. Ipswich City Plan 2025 - s18 Amendment No.1 The Ipswich City Plan 2025 commenced on 1 July 2025, replacing the Ipswich Planning Scheme 2006. Since commencement, over 400 development applications have been received by Council, including an increasing percentage of Building Works applications for works assessable against the planning scheme. This report is intended to facilitate Council’s endorsement to request and make a Section 18 Tailored Amendment as the first operational amendment to the Ipswich City Plan 2025 – Amendment Package 1. The purpose of Amendment Package 1 is to reduce the number of low-risk building applications triggered, make minor corrections and updates, ensure consistency with the planning regulations, enhance local heritage conservation, and improve the usability of the new planning scheme. Given the operational nature of the proposed amendment, it is proposed for all changes (major, minor and administrative) to be grouped into one package and to proceed under Section 18 of the Planning Act 2016, which includes a streamlined 3-month approval process. |
|
Moved by Councillor Marnie Doyle: Seconded by Deputy Mayor Nicole Jonic: A. That Council provide notice to the Chief Executive of the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning of the proposed Amendment Package 1 (Attachment 3). B. That Council note proposed Amendment Package 1 will proceed to public consultation and State interest review following receipt of the approved notice from the Chief Executive of the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning. C. That Council undertake the necessary actions to enable State interest review and public consultation consistent with the approved notice. D. That Council authorise the Chief Executive Officer or delegate to incorporate any further administrative amendments required prior to the final adoption of Amendment Package 1.
