Council's Revised Tradeable Development Rights Policy has now taken effect
On December 9, 2020, council resolved to adopt amendments to the Tradeable Development Rights Policy (TDR policy) to create version 3 of the policy. Version 3 of the TDR policy commenced on Monday December 14, 2020 for use in development assessment and replaces version 2.
The purpose and primary objectives of the TDR policy are to:
- provide alternative acceptable outcomes for the management and protection of rural zoned land affected by agricultural land overlays that comply with the relevant performance outcomes of the planning scheme; and
- promote the protection and consolidation of agricultural land through the amalgamation of titles whilst providing opportunity for rural landowners to realise value from titles by the trading of development rights that transfers a title right to a location that does not impact or diminish productive agricultural land.
The TDR policy can be viewed and downloaded here.
If you have any questions, or would like to discuss the policy, please contact Development Assessment on 1300 MACKAY (622 529) or email development.services@mackay.qld.gov.au.
