In response to growth in the Queensland population, state and local governments are working together to create new housing and sometimes set up new communities. Governments need to consider the needs of these communities beyond housing, including access to services such as electricity, water, and transport options.
Audit Objective
In this audit, we will assess how effectively state entities and local governments are coordinating their planning to create new housing and communities. This may include examining how well planning accounts for connection to utilities and other services.
