Planning & Development

Residential, commercial and industrial developments continue to be strong on the Southern Downs.  Our planning team will work with developers to ensure that new developments comply with the relevant planning legislation and any development approval issued.

If you require assistance with planning matters, please contact customer service on 07 4661 0300 to arrange a time to meet with one of our skilled planners.

Forms for planning applications can be downloaded from the Department of Infrastructure and Planning website. Guidelines for planning can also be downloaded here.

As part of the amalgamation process, a new planning scheme is being formed.  In the interim, the previous planning schemes apply for the old Warwick and Stanthorpe Shire areas.
