How does the Queensland Coastal Plan preserve Queenslanders’ access to the coast?
The public expects to be able to access the coast and foreshore areas in a safe manner from both land and water. The Queensland Coastal Plan provides that development in the coastal zone should maintain public access to the foreshore and, where possible, provide enhanced opportunities for public access points. Where loss of public access cannot be avoided, a development should demonstrate that the same or a greater number of new access opportunities will be established on, or in close proximity to, the development site.
