Priority Infrastructure Plans
The purpose of Priority Infrastructure Plans (PIPs) is to:
- integrate and coordinate land use planning and infrastructure planning; and
- ensure that trunk infrastructure is planned and provided in an efficient and orderly manner.
PIPs are developed in accordance with the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA) and the Statuory Guideline Priority Infrastructure Plan and practice notes.
