Land Use Plan 2010
The Brisbane Port Land Use Plan (the “LUP”) is a key planning document used to guide the location of new
development on core port land.
This fact sheet highlights the purpose and key aspects of the LUP.
Background
key features
In late 2010, the Queensland Government privatised the
Port of Brisbane as part of the ‘Renewing Queensland’
plan. As part of that process, the Port of Brisbane’s
regulatory planning framework changed via amendments
to the Transport Infrastructure Act,1994.
All development on core port land is now guided by the
new LUP which took effect upon the sale of the port.
The LUP uses a precinct-based approach to port planning
to ensure developments are: appropriately sited; in the
best position to capitalise on port infrastructure and
assets; considerate of adjoining land uses and sensitive
areas surrounding the port precinct.
Provides strategic framework for the management
and assessment of development on port land.
Identifies preferred land use outcomes.
Illustrates preferred land uses on LUP maps.
Includes a ‘strategic plan’ identifying critical port
infrastructure and trade projections.
Is a statutory document approved by the Queensland
Treasurer.
May be amended regularly with a full review occurring
at least once every ten years.
The new LUP will guide the location of new development on port land.
