Introduction:
Regional growth and means to induce changes through most sustainable methods in a
selected area is the aim of South-East Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031. The government
has updated the South-East Queensland Regional Plan (SEQ) 2005-2026so that measures can
be taken to detect the problems that creep in the management process and in regional
development. Changes were made in the 2005 plan and steps were taken in order to ensure
better policies, principles, directions. An extension has been made in the plan, up to 2031,
keeping in mind the increase of population and number of housing projects and their proper
implementation. This paper will analyze the SEQ regional plan. In this paper advanced urban
planning of the SEQ regional plan will be discussed.
Discussion:
This project is believed to take ahead the work done by the previous one. The
population of the concerned area has risen from 1.5million to 2.5 million ("New SEQ
Regional Plan 2017 released", 2019). With the increase in the population, the demands for
accommodation have naturally taken a hike. Again, the housing projects ensure enhancement
in the living conditions of a concerned area. It was in the year 2005, that the regional plan had
first begun, with an aim to monitor appropriate changes that are required to bring in growth
and evolution.
Goal and strategies for shaping the SEQ Regional plan:
The following are the main goals that the SEQ Regional plan 2026 target to attempt.
Develop into a dense urban establishment. Trace the growth of metropolitan life in order to
control unplanned urban proliferation. Group land, which is to be kept for future urban life
growth. SEQ regional plan is taking proper steps to flourish Western corridors. SEQ is

developing fast to provide many types of the lifestyle of higher standard. For the future near
about 75000 new residences are required to set up. SEQ regional plan has to create
approximately 30000 new residences in every year to fulfill the demand of increased
population (Queensland Government, 2019). Interlink the regional plan, service delivery, and
base to give shape SEQ Regional plan. Inform the concerned government about the programs
connected to infrastructure and provide support to deserted sections.
Going by the economic and international interference it can be assumed that considerable
development will surely continue till 2031.
Developing the extensive structure of the policy to lead the project towards intended
success and taking care of the local perception of the management is an essential point noted
down in the South-East Queensland Regional Plan ("South East Queensland Regional Plan
2017 - ShapingSEQ series - Data | Queensland Government", 2019). To safeguard the
concerned landscape, this plan has some important attributes which are Ensuring an
elaborate sustainable future, taking into consideration the climate changes and unavailability
of oil supply, helping in rural produce, ensuring housing for forthcoming services and
residential development, supporting plans that seek to bloom in the West, supplying smart
enhancements, developing community feeling, providing infrastructure and further facilities,
aid in health services and built a powerful community ("South East Queensland Regional
Plan 2017 - ShapingSEQ series - Data | Queensland Government", 2019).
South-East Queensland Regional Plan is trying to bring up methods through which
they can support a sustainable life, help in minimizing the ecological imbalance, and enhance
the residential quality of life (policy & Plan, 2019). The natural and rural landscape field of
SEQ supports the rural and environmental to create the scenic and cultural function, which
will help the citizen by recreation. However, the fixed quantity of oil is a problem for SEQ

regional plan. That is the reason, South-East Queensland has developed a substantial policy
to reduce dependency on the car. The balanced distribution of employment and growth
throughout every region, allow the residents to choose and access for the increment. This is
the strength and identification of that particular region.
Major technique:
Efforts are made to increase the effectiveness of the South-East Queensland Regional
Plan by using lands, such as the urban footprint, reusing the lands that are already used and
are ready to be used again urban consolidation (England & McInerney 2019). The fact that
South-East Queensland is providing foremost services to communities that are unique and
local in character is one of its highlights. South-East Queensland is developing housing
communities for the residence so that they can live a healthy or better life, which is important
for the improvement in the future. SEQ regional plan should develop sustainable and rural
communities to continue its contribution to health, self-sufficiency liveability, in every
region. Local lands or rural lands should be protected from being encroached or being
divided into sections. The planning regulation document has two Sections41A and 41B,
which guides about how to go on with the above-mentioned processes. Section 41A is about
the fact whether the improvement is required outside the urban footprint SEQ and section
41B enquires if there is an overriding need of general interest for improvement ("South East
Queensland Regional Plan (ShapingSEQ) — facts and maps (Department of Environment
and Science)", 2019)
Conclusion:
From the above-mentioned factors, goals, and strategies it can be concluded that the
South-East Queensland Regional Plan can easily tackle future goals and growth-related
problems.
