The purpose of the guidelines is to support the delivery of key outcomes within the Townsville City Waterfront PDA Development Scheme for development in Area A (Townsville City Council)1.

Development assessment powers in Area A have been delegated by the Minister for Economic Development Queensland (MEDQ) to Townsville City Council. All Townsville City Waterfront PDA development applications in Area A should be lodged with Townsville City Council. For Area B (shown in blue), applications should be lodged with MEDQ. Schedule 5 of the Development Scheme maps the areas of responsibility.
Network infrastructure identified for the PDA is listed under an Infrastructure Charging Offset Plan (ICOP). The ICOP identifies the level of service within and adjacent to the PDA at the 2026 planning horizon and consists of water supply, sewerage, footpaths and cycle ways. The ICOP also provides relevant details of any offsets that may be applicable against infrastructure charges.

The Marine Plant Management Guideline outlines the management of mangroves and other marine plants on a section of the Ross Creek in Townsville, i.e within the Priority Development Area. It has been developed in recognition of the important environmental values of Marine plant areas protected under State legislation and the need to actively manage the PDA.
