The Galilee Basin SDA Development Scheme

The Galilee Basin State Development Area Development Scheme ( 2.8 MB) is a regulatory document that controls planning and development within the Galilee Basin SDA.

The development scheme was approved by the Governor in Council in October 2015.

The development scheme contains a development assessment framework for making, assessing and deciding applications and requests relating to development within the Galilee Basin SDA. The most common is an SDA application for a material change of use (MCU). SDA applications for an MCU in the Galilee Basin SDA may be assessable or self-assessable, where the development can meet the self-assessable criteria.

The development scheme for the Galilee Basin SDA is supported by a public consultation policy ( 65 KB) that provides information on matters the Coordinator-General may consider when determining whether public consultation of an SDA application is required.
