"A new draft planning policy will direct all councils to keep future industrial activity at safe distances away from homes so Queenslanders are better safeguarded against air, noise and odour emissions, Climate Change and Sustainability Minister Kate Jones said.
Ms Jones said if adopted, the draft State Planning Policy for Air, Noise and Hazardous Materials would require an area zoned for hazardous industry be located at least 1.5 kilometres away from the nearest zone for residential development. "The new draft planning policy will benefit councils, industry and our neighbourhoods,” Ms Jones said."
