Overview

The Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) is a vital part of planning for the future growth and development of the Fraser Coast community.

The LGIP identifies trunk infrastructure needed to support development growth, which - includes transport ( roads and pathways), stormwater, water, sewer, parks and open space infrastructure.

The plan outlines where and when infrastructure improvements will be made, ensuring that we have services and facilities needed as our community grows.

The plan will guide improvements in transport (roads and pathways), stormwater, water, sewer and parks and open space services and other key infrastructure you use everyday.

The LGIP ensures that infrastructure is planned, funded, and delivered in a coordinated and sustainable way, aligning with our region’s future needs.

Council is currently seeking your feedback on the proposed Local Government Infrastructure Plan to make sure it meets the needs of our community.
