Infrastructure planning and design to ensure density is done well

Planning for infrastructure in areas of increasing density will require a strategic and forward-thinking approach. As the region shifts away from growth in expansion areas and towards growth in consolidation areas, so too will infrastructure planning and design require a shift in approaches to service increasing densities in South East Queensland, particularly in high amenity areas.

Through priority actions outlined in SEQIS, infrastructure agencies will revisit traditional infrastructure designs, assumptions for service planning and approaches for infrastructure planning to support well-designed, healthy and sustainable communities.

The priority actions will improve Queensland Government infrastructure planning by encouraging best practices for infrastructure planning, design and delivery that supports regional density, ensuring Queensland’s infrastructure investments are integrated with regional land use planning priorities.
