New Planning Schemes and Planning for Natural Disasters - Virtual Seminar

New Planning Schemes and Planning for Natural Disasters

Virtual Lunchtime Seminar 

Queensland's planning framework is currently undergoing a renewed focus. With the recent release of the draft State Planning Policy and many local governments preparing new planning schemes, there has never been a more important time to consider how we can respond to evolving policy expectations, community needs, and climate related risks.

Join QELA for an informative online lunchtime seminar exploring the legal, policy and practical challenges facing those involved in the preparation and implementation of planning schemes. Our expert presenters will examine emerging issues in plan making, the implications of proposed policy reforms, and the role of land use planning in managing natural disaster risk.

Presenters will discuss a range of key legal, policy and practical issues, including:

• Proposed changes in the draft State Planning Policy and the challenges and opportunities these may present for planning schemes currently under preparation;
• Planning Act compensation provisions and their implications for planning scheme reform; and
• How decision-makers can respond to increasing natural hazard risks through land use planning, including the implications of emerging policy settings for future planning schemes.

This online lunchtime seminar will provide valuable insights for planning and environment lawyers, planners, local government officers, consultants and other professionals involved in shaping Queensland's future communities. Attendees will gain practical perspectives on navigating a rapidly evolving planning landscape while balancing growth, resilience and risk in the development of new planning schemes.
