Council extends consultation period for major amendment

Redland City Council has extended the public consultation period for an amendment designed to incorporate the Council-endorsed Wildlife Connections Plan 2018-2028 into the City Plan within the urban footprint.

The draft planning scheme amendment 01/21 – Major Amendment – Environmental Significance Overlay proposes that all clearing of native vegetation in mapped areas of affected public and private properties will be assessed against updated assessment criteria in the City Plan.

The original public consultation period was from 11 May to 22 June 2023.

At Council’s General Meeting on 21 June 2023, the consultation period was extended until 31 July 2023.

The extension will ensure all residents impacted by the proposed amendment have the opportunity to make an informed submission.

After community consultation closes, Council will consider all submissions before deciding whether to proceed with the major amendment and incorporate it into the Redland City Plan.
