Temporary Local Planning Instrument - TLPI
A Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI) is a statutory instrument created under the provisions of the Planning Act 2016. It may suspend or otherwise affect the operation of another planning instrument i.e. Brisbane City Plan 2014 (City Plan) for a period of up to two years from its effective date.
A TLPI:
- does not amend or repeal the planning instrument
- does not create a superseded planning scheme, and
- is not an adverse planning change under the Planning Act 2016.
Generally, a TLPI is an interim response that:
- is put in place quickly to set out planning and development assessment policies to protect all or part of a local government area from adverse impacts in urgent or emergent circumstances
- prevails over City Plan to the extent of any inconsistency
- enables shaping of longer-term planning provisions while it is in effect (an amendment to City Plan follows a statutory process that can take more than 18 months)
- is effective for up to two years
- can be repealed by Brisbane City Council.
