Economic Development Queensland (EDQ – formally the Urban Land Development Authority) was recently recognised as the national winner in the affordable development category at the UDIA National Congress in Melbourne. The project has quickly become a model residential community that has redefined the standard for affordable small lot residential development in regional Queensland. The HillClose Development has utilised small allotments, small dwellings and affordable building materials and techniques to deliver a vibrant residential community.

Jensen Bowers is proud member of the key consultant team and would like to congratulate EDQ and everyone that contributed to this successful award winning development.

The Amendment Bill to SPA was introduced to Parliament recently. These changes may have significant (and positive) implications to the development industry!

We’ve summarised the 6 main planning reforms intended to relieve the burden of regulation on the development industry in Queensland.

1. Is Referral Coordination back?

2. Master Planning / Structure Planning make a dignified exit…

3. Resource Entitlement no longer required for lodgement!!!

4. Discretion on ‘Properly Made’ provisions

5. No DA for low risk Operational Works Applications!

6. P & E Court determines court costs
