Guide to development in a transport environment: Rail
About the guide
The Guide to development in a transport environment: Rail (PDF, 1.81 MB) (the guide) provides important information for those involved in the planning, design or delivery of development in the vicinity of railways in Queensland.
The guide is structured into four parts:
-
Part A provides the context for development in a railway environment.
-
Part B is relevant to development proposed on land adjacent to a railway. It provides supporting information about the key issues which need to be addressed if proposing development near a railway including information to assist in preparing development applications consistent with the State Development Assessment Provisions.
-
Part C is relevant to development or works proposed within a railway corridor. It outlines the approvals, processes and technical requirements which must be satisfied to comply with legislation governing works in a railway corridor.
-
Part D provides supplementary information to support this guide.
The guide takes effect from 6 July 2015. It replaces the Guide for development in a railway environment (2010) (PDF, 367 KB).
Early consultation with the department is strongly recommended to confirm how the information contained in the guide applies to a proposed development.
