About the new ePlans

We've launched brand new electronic formats of our District Plan, which we’re calling ePlans. 

There's a specific ePlan for the Operative District Plan and one the Proposed District Plan. They're hosted online, easier to use, and provide better functionality for all users.

Using these new plans, you can see all the plan provisions that apply to a property in one single place, instead of having to switch between online maps and a bunch of PDFs and chapters.

QLDC was required to implement an ePlan to be consistent with the requirements of central government’s National Planning Standards.

  • As part of the Appeals Version of the Plan, appeals that have spatial elements (for example a zoning, overlay, scheduled feature or item under appeal) will be highlighted on the map with red polygons.

    Appeals can also be made against provisions, either to amend a provision, include a new provision, or remove a provision entirely. Any chapter that contains an appeal will include a note detailing that provisions are subject to change. Users can select the red exclamation mark to find what appeals are relevant to a chapter and access them.

  • Yes, you can. You’ll find a bookmark option at the top of the page which allows you to save a section or chapter for easy access.

    Please note: In the event we move to a new version of the Plan, bookmarks you have made to a section or chapter in the past will take you to what will be an old and out of date version of the Plan. To avoid any confusion, we’d recommend bookmarking the ePlan homepage.

  • The size of the images within the ePlan are limited due to the structure of the ePlan program. However, if you click on the image, a new tab will open with a larger version of the image.
