Strategic Framework background
The Strategic Framework (Part 3) has guided the creation of the draft new City Plan. This framework draws a range of Council documents and plans together including:
- Brisbane Vision
- the Brisbane CityShape 2026
- numerous Neighbourhood Plans for local areas across the city
- the Brisbane Economic Development plan
- Brisbane's Unique Window of Opportunity report
- How the Brisbane City Plan could change - statement of proposals (full version) (PDF - 1.6MB)
The plan also responds to government policies and projects, including:
- the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031
- the South East Queensland Infrastructure Plan and Program
- draft Connecting SEQ 2031 - an Integrated Transport Plan for South East Queensland
In preparing the draft Strategic Framework, best practice in planning and urban design, detailed modelling of development, population and statistics have been considered. The framework also draws upon expert advice on topics ranging from traffic to design to air quality.
