Description

QDesign is part of the Queensland Government’s commitment to achieving better urban design outcomes across Queensland.

QDesign supports already established planning policies, including State Planning Policy 2017 and ShapingSEQ South-East Queensland Plan 2017,  that recognise and value the importance of urban design in delivering livable, well-designed and sustainable communities.
