Planning Scheme
On Wednesday 29 January 2020, Council resolved to adopt the Charters Towers Regional Town Plan Version 2.0 (the Town Plan) which commenced on Monday 10 February 2020.
The Town Plan is Charters Towers Regional Council’s plan for the future development of the Region. The Town Plan includes a Strategic Vision for the Region, zones, overlays, and outlines specific types of applications required dependent on the development proposed.
Development is considered against the ‘assessment benchmarks’ which include various Codes and the Strategic Framework (i.e. where impact assessable). The assessment benchmarks provide guidance for the intended development form for the Region. These can be found below and can be used to accompany your Development Application.
