Council is dedicated to keeping the City of Mount Isa Planning Scheme 2020 dynamic and adaptable to evolving community needs, legislation, policies, and other influencing factors.

This is achieved through continuous community engagement, research, and regular updates to improve and refine the planning scheme.

Amendments can take anywhere from 1 to 5 years, depending on their complexity and scope. Each amendment involves thorough research, community consultation, and review by the Council, the public, and the Department of State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government, and Planning (Queensland Government).

The Planning Act 2016 and the Minister’s Guidelines and Rules outline the process the Council must follow to create or amend the planning scheme.

For more information about planning schemes and the process of amendment, refer to the Queensland Government website.

The Mount Isa City Council is dedicated to continuously improving the Planning Scheme. We actively consider state government interests and regional plan updates for the Mount Isa Region and welcome your input—and share your suggestions to help shape future updates and amendments.

All suggestions will be reviewed as part of the ongoing amendment process. If your suggestion leads to a change, it will be included in the appropriate update package (administrative, minor, or major). Future amendments will follow the Planning Act 2016 and Planning Regulation 2017, which took effect on July 3, 2017, and will align with Queensland’s statutory planning framework, the Minister’s Guidelines and Rules (MGR).

Please send all suggestions to tplanning@mountisa.qld.gov.au with “Attention: Strategic Planning – MICC Planning Scheme Improvement Suggestion” as a subject line.

As part of the development assessment process, the Council imposes infrastructure charges on developments that increase demand on trunk infrastructure networks, including subdivisions (reconfiguring a lot), material changes of use, or certain building works. These charges are typically collected during the development assessment process.

These fees help fund the expansion, maintenance, and replacement of public trunk infrastructure, ensuring that new developments contribute to the additional demand they create.

Council has adopted an Infrastructure Charges Resolution(PDF, 536KB) in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act 2016.

Under thePlanning Act 2016, council is obligated to keep a register of all the Infrastructure Charges levied by council.
