The temporary local planning instrument (TLPI) will take effect on January 24, 2025, and cease to have effect on January 21, 2027, unless repealed sooner.
The purpose and general effect of the TLPI is to:
Provide clear direction on the regulation and trigger for vegetation clearing under the Biodiversity Overlay Code Tables of Assessment, and
appropriately define Vegetation Clearing and Exempt Vegetation Clearing in Schedule 1 Definitions.
The TLPI will apply to existing mapped areas under the Biodiversity Overlay as identified in Schedule 2 of the Gladstone Regional Council Planning Scheme Version 2, which are located in the Gladstone Regional Council local government area. The TLPI will affect the operation of the Gladstone Regional Council Planning Scheme Version 2, specifically Table 5.10.1 and Schedule 1 Definitions. Where any inconsistency arises with the Planning Scheme, the TLPI shall prevail.
