Planning Scheme

On Wednesday 29 January 2020, Council resolved to adopt the Charters Towers Regional Town Plan Version 2.0 (the Town Plan) which commenced on Monday 10 February 2020.

Town Plan

The Town Plan is Charters Towers Regional Council’s plan for the future development of the Region.  The Town Plan includes a Strategic Vision for the Region, zones, overlays, and outlines specific types of applications required dependent on the development proposed.

Development is considered against the ‘assessment benchmarks’ which include various Codes and the Strategic Framework (i.e. where impact assessable).  The assessment benchmarks provide guidance for the intended development form for the Region.  These can be found below and can be used to accompany your Development Application.

Infrastructure Charges

On Wednesday, 28 October 2020, Council resolved to adopt the Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.3) 2020 (the Resolution).  The Resolution divides the Region into two (2) categories, Charge Area 1 (Charters Towers City and Greenvale) and Charge Area 2 (the balance of the Region).

In accordance with Schedule 24 of the Planning Regulation 2017, Council’s Infrastructure Charges Register is available for public view and details all levied charges issued since the adoption of Council’s first Resolution in 2011.
