Development assessments

Any activity classified as development in Queensland must obtain approval under the Integrated Development Assessment System as required under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, which commenced on December 18th 2009.

The approval process is facilitated by an assessment manager (generally your local council). However, as part of the process, where development impacts on state transport interests, applications must be forwarded (referred) to the Department of Transport and Main Roads for assessment.
