Transport infrastructure charge
Strong growth is expected to continue in the Redlands creating an increasing demand on roads and other transport infrastructure. To cater for this growth and to ensure all areas within the Redlands have an effective road network with the capacity to cater for daily demands, continued upgrades to the road network and public transport infrastructure will be required.
It is essential that infrastructure is considered as part of the planning process. This Transport Infrastructure Charges Policy will assist Council to integrate land use planning and infrastructure planning within Integrated Planning Act schedules.
The implementation of this Planning Scheme Policy is the first step in implementing a Priority Infrastructure Plan within the Redland Planning Scheme. It is proposed that this Planning Scheme Policy be used until such time as the Priority Infrastructure Plan is implemented, which is expected in mid 2009.
A Priority Infrastructure Plan is mandatory as part of the Redland Planning Scheme and is a State Government legislative requirement under the Integrated Planning Act.
