IPSWICH City Council intends to continue to operate a temporary planning regulation designed to ensure that inappropriate development cannot take place on Ipswich's flood plains, following the publication of the Queensland Flood Commission of Inquiry's findings.
Planning and development committee chairman Councillor Paul Tully said the Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI) operating in Ipswich was recognised in the final report of the inquiry as an appropriate planning measure.
Cr Tully said as this regulation was due to cease in mid-June, the council was now intending to adopt a replacement TLPI.
"Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI) 01/2011 was prepared to provide improved flood control regulations," he said.
The revised flood line will continue to be based on a combination of the one in 100 line, the 1974 flood, and data provided by the Department of Environment from the January 2011 flood.
