Brisbane backyards were in trouble, the city’s council stated in 2018. But years on, state-government-requested plans to offset a resulting ban on some developments are yet to materialise.
But the state government disagrees with the council’s take on the situation regional plan. A spokeswoman for Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning said there was no such timeframe requirement for a review.
Even outside any review of the regional plan, the department spokeswoman said, a housing strategy would help ensure short-term solutions such as the council’s suburban renewal precinct initiative were “clearly connected to and justified by the evidence base”. “I welcome Brisbane City Council’s commitment to planning for more residential precincts. I also look forward to the finalisation of council’s housing strategy.”
