Temporary Local Planning Instruments

A Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI) is a statutory instrument created under the Planning Act 2016. A TLPI may suspend or affect the operation of another planning instrument (e.g. the Logan Planning Scheme) but does not amend or repeal that instrument.

A TLPI can be effective for up to two years after its effective date, or sooner if stated in the instrument or repealed.

Generally, a TLPI is created if:

  • a significant risk of adverse cultural, economic, environmental or social conditions is happening in the local government area
  • the delay involved in making or amending another local planning instrument (e.g. the planning scheme) would increase the risk
  • a state interest would not be adversely effected by the proposed TLPI. 

The information below lists TLPIs currently in effect in the City of Logan, noting that local planning instruments do not apply in Priority Development Areas (Yarrabilba and Greater Flagstone). Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) is the planning authority for PDAs.
