4Maranoa–Balonne Regional PlanPART A—IntroductionBackground andpurposeMaranoa–Balonne is located in southernQueensland, taking in rich cropping andgrazing lands and significant reservesof coal seam gas, conventional gasand petroleum. The region includes asignificant part of the Queensland MurrayDarling Basin, including the catchmentsof the Maranoa and Balonne-Culgoariver systems. The region’s population isapproximately 18 0001. Modest growthis anticipated over the next 20 years,largely arising from developments in theenergy sector.The region comprises the localgovernments of Maranoa RegionalCouncil and Balonne Shire Council.Preparation of the Draft Maranoa andDistricts Regional Plan was based on theformer local government areas of Balonne,Bendemere, Booringa, Bungil, Murilla,Roma, Tara and Warroo. The Maranoaand Districts region was designatedfor regional planning purposes underprovisions of the Integrated PlanningRegulation 1998 in September 2007.The region corresponded to the areaencompassed by these former shires.At the time of local governmentamalgamation in 2008, the Murilla andTara Shires were incorporated into theWestern Downs Regional Council. After itsformation, the Western Downs Regional1Council did not engage in preparationof the draft regional plan. As regionalplanning for Maranoa and Districtsinvolved only two of the six shiresamalgamated to form the Western DownsRegional Council, the Planning Ministerresolved to use the plan’s consultationphase to seek advice from the communityabout the preferred planning boundary forthe region.Submissions to the draft regionalplan strongly favoured the regionencompassing only Maranoa RegionalCouncil and Balonne Shire. Further, it wasrecommended that the region be renamedthe Maranoa–Balonne region.Accordingly, the plan has been finalisedto incorporate only the Maranoa RegionalCouncil and Balonne Shire Council.The former Murilla and Tara Shire Councilsare no longer included.An amendment to the Integrated PlanningRegulation 1998, in May 2009, redefinedthe designated region—changing theboundary and name. The plan nowreflects these changes.As part of resolving planning boundaries,before undertaking regional planningto encompass all of the Darling Downs,the state government will review theappropriateness of the Maranoa–Balonneboundary. The Maranoa–Balonne RegionalPlan is now final, but may be subject toearly review in the light of future regionalplanning boundary decisions.Planning Information and Forecasting Unit (PIFU), Department of Infrastructure and Planning (December 2008)The regional plan applies to the westernsection of the Surat Basin, approximatelyhalf its area. There is currently noregional plan for the Darling Downs, apartfrom the Toowoomba Statistical Division,which is incorporated into the South EastQueensland Regional Plan. Nor is therea regional plan to fully encompass theSurat Basin. Pre-planning studies beingundertaken for the Surat Basin will informfuture regional planning for the basinand the broader Darling Downs region,including the former Murilla and Tarashire sections of Western Downs RegionalCouncil.People who live and work in theMaranoa–Balonne region are faced with anumber of opportunities and challengesover the next 20 years. These include: managing growth associated with thedevelopment of energy resources in theSurat Basin maintaining profitability of enterprisesreliant on transport services and facingfluctuating commodity prices addressing irregular climatic andweather conditions providing opportunities for youngpeople who have traditionally migratedto urban areas attracting and retaining skilled staff accessing and providing essentialservices in smaller centres.

6Future challenges for local communitiesmay also include population reductionsin smaller centres, water shortagesassociated with shifting climate patternsand the effects of significant energydevelopments.In response to these challenges affectingrural Queenslanders, the QueenslandGovernment’s Blueprint for the Bush2initiative and the Rural EconomicDevelopment and Infrastructure Planwere developed to lay the foundationsfor the future sustainability, liveabilityand prosperity of these communities.The regional plan will be an essentialmechanism for managing changeand shaping the prospects of ruralcommunities by: addressing key economic, social andenvironmental issues prioritising infrastructure and serviceneeds maximising benefits and managing theimpacts of major projects driving innovation and productivity mobilising the public, private andcommunity sectorsMaranoa–Balonne Regional PlanRecent amendments to the IntegratedPlanning Act 1997 (IPA) allow new oramended regional plans to take statutoryeffect. Under a statutory regional plan,all subject development3 and land usein the region will need to comply withthe regional plan. The responsible localgovernment authority must amend itsplanning scheme to reflect the regionalplan, within 90 business days of theregional plan’s gazettal. The regional planprevails where there is inconsistencybetween it and a local governmentplanning scheme within the region.The plan also recognises localgovernments in the region have planningschemes prepared under the IPA andmany of the strategies that can beincorporated into planning schemes mayalready be evident.The regional plan does not includeregulatory provisions in relation to landWorking with otherplans and strategiesThe regional plan sets out desiredregional outcomes, which identifyaspirations for ecological sustainabilityfor the region. These desired regionaloutcomes cannot, however, be achievedthrough the policies and strategies inthis plan alone. Implementation of thestrategies and actions of other plans iscritical to achieving the region’s vision.Figure 1 depicts the relationship betweenthe regional plan and other plans andstrategies.The regional plan is not an economic,environmental or social plan, and itdoes not attempt to take the placeof conservation or tourism plans orstrategies. However, the plan doesFigure 1.

This framework is a keymechanism for integrating federal, stateand local government planning agendas,linking infrastructure and service provisionto manage future population change, andproviding certainty to communities andthe business sector.use, nor does it specify region-specificvariation to current state planningpolicies.Statutory regionalplansRegional iesRegional ional plansRegional vision anddesired regional outcomesRegionalwater plansand strategiesOther tplansRegionaltransportplansRegional infrastr
