South East Queensland Regional Plan, Regional planning document in Queensland, Australia
The South East Queensland Regional Plan is a planning document that shapes how land is used, where infrastructure is built, and how the population spreads across southeastern Queensland. It divides the region into three land categories to manage different types of development and land use.
The plan originated from the SEQ 2001 growth management project that began in 1990, resulting in the first non-statutory regional framework in 1995. This early model established the foundation for ongoing regional development planning.
The regional plan incorporates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge into decision-making processes for urban development and land management strategies.
The plan accounts for the need of about 900,000 new homes and one million jobs by 2046 to support expected population growth to around six million people. Those interested can review the guidelines to understand how their region is planned to develop.
The document integrates knowledge and perspectives from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities into decisions about urban development and land management. This inclusion shows how local expertise shapes modern planning processes.
