Consultation has concluded

UPDATE: On Tuesday 24 November Council resolved to adopt the amendment to the Planning Scheme Policy for Development Works. The updated parts of the Planning Scheme are available here.

Council proposed an amendment to the Bundaberg Regional Council Planning Scheme Policy for Development Works.

This amendment will:

  • Clarify minimum requirements for development works to be completed as a prerequisite for Council consideration of uncompleted works bonds
  • Identify the value of uncompleted works bonds and timeframes for incomplete works to be completed and operational after approval of the survey plan or commencement of a use
  • Outline the lodgement process and documentation required to support the uncompleted works bond, including payment options (cash or bank guarantees) and requirements for receiving bond refunds.

The proposed amendment also seeks to provide better guidance for other types of bonds, including performance bonds and maintenance bonds currently identified within the On-Maintenance procedure in the planning scheme policy.
