Member for Nanango, Deb Frecklington is encouraging anyone interested in the future planning of the Somerset Region to review the recently released South East Queensland Regional Plan.
Mrs Frecklington said that while it has taken the Labor Government some time, the draft SEQ Regional Plan has finally been released for public feedback and it is essential the community has their say.
“I have already heard from one landholder who has been waiting on the release of this plan for several years. He had hoped to develop his block, however he is incredibly disappointed as his land has not been included in the urban footprint area,” Mrs Frecklington said.
“It seems some of the original planning ideas raised through initial discussions during the term of our former LNP Government have not been honoured by the Labor Government.
“With this in mind, I’d really encourage developers and anyone with an interest in the future of the Somerset to go online and consider what has been included for our region in this important planning document.
“You can share your views up until 3 March 2017 and it is expected the document will be finalised by mid 2017.
“I am also seeking feedback and would like to hear from anyone who may be affected by the proposed planning details in this document,” Deb said.
