How does SEQIS align to ShapingSEQ 2023?

ShapingSEQ 2023 is the regional plan for the South East Queensland region and it identifies the Queensland Government’s long-term vision for the region.

SEQIS supports ShapingSEQ 2023 by representing an initial Queensland Government infrastructure planning response to the growth needs and land-use amendments of ShapingSEQ 2023.

ShapingSEQ 2023 provides infrastructure delivery agencies with a wide range of new data and assumptions that impact both their service delivery, and future demand and infrastructure planning activities. State government agencies, SEQ councils and industry will need time to adequately assess and plan the infrastructure response to the impacts on demand for their services resulting from the population growth identified in ShapingSEQ 2023.

Delivery of SEQIS is the first step in reintegrating regional infrastructure planning with statutory land use planning. Regional authorities, agencies and infrastructure providers have called for greater involvement in regional infrastructure planning as it relates to statutory regional planning in line with this improved governance framework. SEQIS is a commitment to a regional engagement approach for developing the SEQIP in 2025.
