The Queensland Government today announced the approval of the Bromelton State Development Area (SDA) development scheme.
Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Jeff Seeney said there had been significant public consultation on the scheme resulting in changes from the draft.
“This development scheme allows the Coordinator-General to coordinate land use within the Bromelton SDA to ensure we maximise the economic potential of the area,” Mr Seeney said.
“The Bromelton SDA is unique because it is the only area available for industrial development in South East Queensland with direct access to the national standard-gauge rail network.”
The Bromelton SDA is located seven kilometres west of Beaudesert and was declared in 2008.
Mr Seeney said roughly 1,800 hectares of the 15,000 hectare Bromelton SDA was earmarked for industrial development.
Industries that could be housed in the Bromelton SDA include freight and logistics operations, medium and large-scale manufacturing and warehousing activities with road and/or rail requirements, industry support services, freight and logistics servicing depots.
The Bromelton SDA development scheme has been prepared in conjunction with the Scenic Rim Regional Council’s Bromelton Structure Plan which has now been finalised through associated amendments to the Beaudesert Shire Planning Scheme 2007.
“Approval of the Development Scheme for the Bromelton SDA allows development proponents to lodge applications for material change of use with the Coordinator-General,” Mr Seeney said.
“The Scenic Rim Regional Council’s planning scheme will regulate development other than material change of use within the Bromelton SDA.”
Queensland’s Coordinator-General Barry Broe said the Queensland Government, Scenic Rim Regional Council and major property owners had worked well together over the past few years to prepare a plan for the State Development Area.
“The development scheme is the result of an integrated and collaborative approach to planning and I would like to thank the Scenic Rim Regional Council and major property owners for their contribution in planning for Bromelton.”
