Abstract

Under recent changes to the Integrated Planning Act (IPA) aimed at providing
infrastructure for areas experiencing significant growth, a Priority Infrastructure
Plan (PIP) and associated Infrastructure Charges Schedule (ICS) are required to
be implemented in Laidley Shire. This project establishes a Priority
Infrastructure Plan for the major road network within Laidley Shire and develops
a system of infrastructure charging for these roads. The processes followed to
achieve this were:
• Review existing literature from Australia and overseas, concerning the
provision of government infrastructure, with particular regard to:
o The use by governments of systems similar to Queensland’s Priority
Infrastructure Plans;
o Methods of ensuring private developers financially contribute in a fair
and equitable manner to major contiguous infrastructure on which the
functioning of their development relies;
• Develop a Priority Infrastructure Plan for the major road network within
Laidley Shire.
• Develop an associated charges schedule for these major roads.
• Trial the proposed planning and charging systems on a number of different
major roads within Laidley Shire.
• Evaluate the trials and suggest required changes to the proposed systems.
Ensuring greater attention is given to infrastructure costs and efficiencies during
the planning process can significantly assist in reducing infrastructure costs to
the community as a whole. Consideration must be given to the implications that
a proposed development will have on existing and future infrastructure during
development assessment. The PIP ensures that such proposals are assessed inline
with planning standards, and that charges are implemented in a fair and equitable
manner.
