Port of Gladstone Land Use Plan

Gladstone Ports Corporation (GPC) is preparing a new Land Use Plan for the Port of Gladstone.

A new Land Use Plan is developed every eight years and provides an opportunity for the community to review and comment on how development on strategic port land is regulated and managed. The plan identifies strategic port land to be used for port and industry development, and provides the framework for GPC to assess and approve development on port land.

Under the Transport Infrastructure Act 1994, GPC is required to prepare and release a Statement of Proposal when making or amending Land Use Plans.

The Statement of Proposal identifies matters GPC anticipates the Land Use Plan will address, states how GPC intends to address these matters, and provides the opportunity for stakeholders to provide comment to GPC to assist in the development of the Land Use Plan.

Consultation was completed on the Statement of Proposal for the Port of Gladstone Land Use Plan at the end of 2021. We are now underway in preparing the draft Land use plan and it is anticipated consultation on this draft plan will open mid to late 2022.
