FNQ Regional Plan 2009-2031
The State Government introduced the Far North Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031 which came into effect on 13 February 2009. (The FNQ Regional Plan replaces the Draft Far North Queensland Regional Plan 2025 released by the Minster for Infrastructure and Planning on 9 May 2008).
The plan applies to the following local government areas:
- Cairns Regional Council
- Tablelands Regional Council
- Cassowary Coast Regional Council
- Yarrabah Aboriginal Council
- Wujal Wujal Aboriginal Council
The Far North Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031 is the blueprint that will manage this growth and guide development in the region over the next two decades. It identifies enough developable land to accommodate future growth while protecting the region's environment, biodiversity and natural resources.
The Far North Queensland Regional Plan should be read in conjunction with the Far North Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031 State Regulatory Provisions. The Regional Plan is supported by the Far North Queensland Infrastructure Plan 2009-2031.
