Far North Queensland Regional Plan 2009–2031

The Far North Queensland Regional Plan 2009–2031 is the over-arching plan for the region and takes precedence over all other planning instruments.

The statutory plan must be followed by state agencies and local governments in their planning and when assessing development.

As well as adopting the plan's policies, each local council is required to amend its planning scheme to align with the FNQ Regional Plan.

The plan applies to five local government areas:

• Cairns Regional Council ( 390 KB)
• Cassowary Coast Regional Council ( 388 KB)
• Tablelands Regional Council ( 390 KB)
• Wujal Wujal Aboriginal Shire Council ( 491 KB)
• Yarrabah Aboriginal Shire Council ( 304 KB).
