FAQs

Public consultation for the second round of public consultation for the City Plan Major amendment - Yatala Enterprise Area Industry Amendment (Phase 1) will be held from 21 January to 19 February 2025 (inclusive).

This Amendment recognises the longer-term need to protect High impact industry zoned land in the Yatala/Stapylton Enterprise Area from encroachment by proposing consolidation of High impact industry zoned areas to the eastern side of the M1. 

The changes seek to maintain a large part of the existing High impact industry zoned land on the western side of the M1. They also recommend maintaining the Medium impact industry zone (Future Medium impact industry precinct) over land in proximity to Quinns Hill Road East.

As a result of these refinements consequential changes are required to the Industry interface area mapping (a component of the Industry, community infrastructure and agricultural land interface area overlay).

In addition, there are also minor changes to the Innovation zone (Gold Coast screen industry precinct) applying to the property at 396 Stanmore Road, Yatala as a result of new information. To ensure consistency with the new proposed lease area at 396 Stanmore Road, Yatala the Innovation zone (Gold Coast screen industry precinct) will be realigned to reflect the new lot configuration being Lot 1 SP349468.

Minor terminology changes are also included in the assessment benchmarks for regulating Short-term accommodation within the Gold Coast screen industry precinct of the Innovation zone code.

The changes are in response to submissions received from the community during the initial consultation period.
