Western Downs Regional Council Town Planning Schemes
Town planning (or land use planning) is one of the most important mechanisms available to local government in achieving important social, cultural and environment management goals. It is about making living and working environments safe, healthy, efficient and aesthetically pleasing through the arrangement of land uses. Town planning also provides certainty for people by outlining to them what can be expected to occur in their local communities.
The previous Councils that amalgamated to form Western Downs Regional Council used a number of planning documents to guide the development of the community. Town Planning Schemes contain provisions for the regulation, implementation and administration of each specific Planning Scheme and the statement of objectives and criteria for the implementation of the Strategic Plan.
