Outcomes and Challenges of the ULDA Process to Date
Outcomes Flexibility in the Submitted Development Scheme The Submitted Development Scheme is flexible to allow for changing trends and advances in technology and standards etc. FLEXIBILITY = INNOVATION. Collaboration Whenever the officers at the ULDA have had any questions/issues, its been a collaborative process. This process has included all levels of government. Set up a robust plan making process that can move with the times. Stand alone document This will ensure the submitted Development Scheme will survive the project (approx. 30 years). Program Program is set by the Act and the ULDA has stuck to it!
Challenges Infrastructure Charges Uncertainty on charges has made it difficult to finalise Commercial Assessments for the project. Planning on Red Bull Commenting on the Development Scheme that refers to a specific Guidelines that haven t been developed yet. Clarification of More Detailed Processes Plan Sealing, street naming, easement documentation etc. Not Specific to Yarrabilba ULDA would face challenges with timeframes if an area was declared of this scale that had limited planning work completed over the site. The work completed with LCC has been a major advantage for Yarrabilba.
