Fraser Coast Regional Council is seeking community feedback on a new plan identifying future roads, footpaths, parks, water, sewer, and community facilities to support the region’s growing population.

The Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) will help Council plan, fund, and deliver the essential services and facilities needed to support growth in the Fraser Coast over the next 15 years.

Council’s Development and Planning spokesperson Cr Denis Chapman encouraged residents, businesses, and industry stakeholders to review the proposed plan and provide their input.

“Infrastructure planning affects everyone in our community. This plan ensures services are delivered where and when needed to support sustainable and well-planned growth,” Cr Chapman said.

“The Fraser Coast’s population is booming, and the LGIP helps Council manage that growth by ensuring our transport, stormwater, sewer and public spaces keep up with demand.

“We want to hear from the community to ensure this plan reflects local priorities and meets the needs of residents, businesses, and visitors.”

Key updates in the proposed LGIP include:

  • Updated Growth Forecasts –   New population growth projections from the Queensland Government Statistician’s Office plan and other data sources.
  • Priority Infrastructure Area (PIA) changes – Defining areas best suited for growth to ensure infrastructure is delivered in an efficient and cost-effective way.
  • Updated schedule of works – A revised schedule of major infrastructure works needed over the next 15 years.
  • Revised plans for infrastructure – Updated information on where future infrastructure will be upgraded or delivered.

The public consultation period is open from 17 March to 30 April 2025.

“The community plays an important role in shaping our region’s future, and we encourage everyone to review the plan and have their say before the consultation period closes,” Cr Chapman said.
