PREMIER FLAGS GO ZONES AND NO-GO ZONES FOR BETTER GROWTH MANAGEMENT
Queensland. Premier. Media Release
"Premier Anna Bligh has launched a new proposal to create “Go-Zones” and “No-Go Zones” to guide urban development in South East Queensland. “The Queensland Growth Management Summit on March 30 and 31 will look at new ways to manage growth in Queensland,” said the Premier. “This proposal is just one of the ideas that I hope can foster debate and get people thinking about new ways to manage the growth we are seeing in our State.” Under the plan state and local government would create new “go zones” - areas along public transport corridors for higher density development. Under the same proposal “no-go zones” - established suburbs would be protected from high density development. “Go Zones could reduce the planning timeline for new developments from years to months,” said Ms Bligh. No-go Zones would give communities in established suburbs certainty that their neighbourhood won’t be transformed by higher density living.”
