Summary

This program looks at the present and future population growth in the Gold Coast, Brisbane to Toowoomba corridor and Sunshine Coast from Caloundra to Noosa. The region of 22,420 square kilometres is likely to have up to 4 million people by 2026. This requires planning for future housing and commercial uses as well as for services and infrastructure. The South-East Queensland Regional Plan 2005-2026 will guide these and manage growth. Major aspects of this are covered. Councils and communities are part of the decision-making and management process. Many are concerned about threats from overdevelopment and high densities of people. Some areas such as Noosa have taken a stand while others like Surfers Paradise allow this. Brisbane has become a boom city and the Greater Brisbane area will continue to grow rapidly. Many come to live here seeking a sea change, jobs and affordable housing. This program shows why this dynamic area of Australia is so attractive
