"Communities and local governments are among those to benefit from reforms to Queensland’s development and planning systems, Minister for Infrastructure and Planning Stirling Hinchliffe said. The Sustainable Planning Bill 2009, tabled in Parliament , will make it easier for the community to become involved in making plans for future developments, and is expected to reduce disputes about individual applications. The new legislation provides for standard definitions across the state so there is no confusion about what is a ‘storey on a house’ or what is a ‘home-based business’."
