Planning and guidelines

Environment guidelines help administering authorities like the department and local government implement the Environmental Protection Act 1994, its associated regulations and environmental protection policies.

Refer to the development application process for information about development approvals and the integrated development assessment system (IDAS).

If you need more information about the Environmental Protection Act 1994 or environmental protection policies contact your local council or one of the Department's Business Centres.

Most Queensland legislation is available online. Electronic versions are not official versions. Authorised printed versions can be obtained from the Queensland Government Printer Goprint.
