Projects
Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP)
A LGIP is a long – term plan that integrates infrastructure planning with land use planning. The LGIP identifies existing and future trunk infrastructure, including local roads, stormwater management, parks and community facilities. Trunk infrastructure is needed to service the community and support development across the region. The LGIP provides a schedule of works and desired standards of service for trunk infrastructure, and provides a basis for imposing conditions about trunk infrastructure and levying of infrastructure charges on development approvals.
Following a review of the current LGIP that was adopted in 2018, Council will start preparing an updated LGIP that aligns with the recently adopted Lockyer Valley Planning Scheme. The community will have an opportunity to comment on the update LGIP during a future consultation stage.
Grantham Structure Plan
In 2011 Council purchased 485Ha of land in Grantham to develop the Grantham estate and facilitate the land swap program. As the years have progressed and the estate has welcomed new residents and families, Council looks to the future of the area and how the balance of this flood free land can be best utilised in the future to support and service the growing community.
To investigate and plan for those options, Council has engaged an expert consultant to prepare a structure plan for the future of Grantham. The community will be invited to participate in workshops to help decide the future structure of Grantham and recognise the opportunities it represents.

Growth Management Strategy
Council is working towards delivering a Growth Management Strategy (GMS) that will provide a framework to guide and manage growth in the region to 2046. The GMS will assist in ensuring the Lockyer Valley remains a desirable place to live, work and play.
Council’s GMS seeks to develop a practical, flexible and wide-ranging policy framework that strengthens housing choice and economic growth, without compromising the natural, agricultural, social and cultural integrity of the region.
Council will seek information and input from the community throughout the GMS project. We are currently collating the necessary information and identifying the knowledge gaps.
One of the first tasks, scheduled for late 2024 to early 2025, is to ask the community what really matters to them and how they feel the region is performing. More details will be posted here soon.
