What is a PDA-Associated development?

On 19 April 2016, the Queensland Parliament passed the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane Act 2016. This Act amended the Economic Development Act 2012 (the ED Act) to introduce the concept of PDA-associated development. These amendments came into effect on 27 May 2016.

On 12 March 2017 the Minister for Economic Development Queensland decided to declare three areas for PDA-associated development. This allows these proposed developments to be dealt with under the ED Act in a similar way to development within the PDA. Further information on the three declarations for Queen’s Wharf Brisbane can be found here.
