How to use this practice
note
This practice note has been prepared to support in
the preparation or amending of planning
assumptions within a priority infrastructure plan
(PIP). It supports Statutory guideline 01/11 Priority
infrastructure plans (guideline 01/11) and should be
read in conjunction with guideline 01/11, other PIP
practice notes and the Sustainable Planning Act
2009 (SPA).
As well as developing the mandatory components of
a PIP, as stipulated in guideline 01/11, local
government is responsible for determining which
components of this practice note are to be included
in either the PIP or as extrinsic/supporting material.
Words used in this practice note that are defined in
SPA or by Part B of guideline 01/11 are italicised.
Planning assumptions
What are planning assumptions?
The planning assumptions are critical elements
underpinning the PIP. Their purpose is to provide a
logical and consistent basis for the detailed
infrastructure planning within network catchments.
PIP
PRACTICE
NOTE 1
PIP practice note 1 – planning assumptions
Planning assumptions are assumptions about the
type, scale, location and timing of population and
employment growth and the resulting development
within a local government area.
Type
The type of growth refers to specific land uses such
as residential or non-residential (e.g. commercial,
retail, rural residential or industrial).
There is a direct relationship between the type of
development and demand for infrastructure. The
demand for infrastructure will vary between different
land use types, based on scale and location.
Scale
The assumed scale of future development refers to
the density and/or extent of development anticipated
to occur throughout the local government area.
The land use designations and associated codes in
the planning scheme provide the basis to determine
the scale of different types of development expected
in different locations.
Timing and location
An estimate of growth over time for different
locations provides the basis to determine when and
where infrastructure needs to be constructed to
service increasing demand.
Developing planning
assumptions
Assumptions about the type, scale, location and
timing of future development within a local
government area are informed by:

population and employment growth projections

state and local government planning
documents

local government knowledge of constraints,
development trends and/or growth stimulus.
Population and employment
projections
There is a direct relationship between the increase
or decrease in population and employment and the
type, scale, location and timing of development. As
such, an analysis of existing and projected
population and employment statistics is a
fundamental component of determining planning
assumptions.
The Office of Economic and Statistical Research
(OESR) in Queensland Treasury provides
information to assist in developing growth
projections, such as existing resident populations,
existing dwellings by type, occupancy rates and
inter-census growth projections. Local governments
should consult with OESR when preparing
population and employment projections. Australian
Bureau of Statistics (ABS) census data forms the
basis for these projections.
Planning assumptions and land
use planning
The preferred settlement pattern, represented in a
planning scheme, establishes growth priorities for
local government areas. The focus may be on urban
consolidation, expansion of existing urban areas or
new broadhectare communities. The preferred
settlement pattern is informed by a number of
PIP practice note 1 – planning assumptions
sources including state policies, community input
and local government priorities and strategies.
This preferred settlement pattern is a key
consideration in the type, scale, location and timing
of development and is to be accounted for during
the development of planning assumptions.
Local knowledge of constraints
and growth stimulus
The realistic development potential of a locality
within the PIP is determined by local governments
based on local knowledge of the real potential of
planning scheme designations and census data.
Matters which local government may consider
include constraints such as physical constrains (e.g.
significant vegetation, flooding etc), local
development trends and/or growth stimulus.
Timeframes for planning
assumptions
The priority infrastructure area designates the area
which is the focus for 10 to 15 years of trunk
infrastructure provision. However the PIP is not
limited to a 15 year trunk infrastructure planning
horizon.
Local government is encouraged to undertake long
term infrastructure planning within a PIP and ideally
will align PIP timeframes with other long term
planning scheme components i.e. strategic
framework.
One approach to long term infrastructure planning is
to base the capacity and design of trunk
infrastructure networks on the estimated demand
when a lot or area is fully developed (ultimate
development1).
However the longer the planning horizon the more
uncertain assumptions and future plans become.
Ensuring that ultimate development reflects a

- differences in the boundaries for the
ABS collection district and the PIP
projection area/s.

occupancy rates—average number of persons
per dwelling is required to enable estimates of
the total number of new dwellings required
(projected population divided by occupancy
rate). Occupancy rates are specified according
to dwelling type. This data can be included in
Table 4.2.7.1.

existing and projected dwelling units for each
residential use type (Table 4.2.10.2)—existing
dwelling units are the number of dwellings of
different types (i.e. detached or attached) in
the area. Projected dwelling units are the
number of units required to accommodate the
area’s projected population at the assumed
occupancy rates.
Also note that growth projections are based on ABS
census data and the PIP planning time periods
should align with census data collection years.
How to determine planning
assumptions
Determining the following information provides local
government with the fundamental data to develop
assumptions about the type, scale, location and
timing of growth and development:

projection area/s2—Using census data and
local knowledge, identify projection area/s
(suburb, locality, service catchments1,
statistical area) for the local government urban
areas.
Residential development
Residential development includes residential
population, both existing and projected, and
information on the type and number of dwellings,
impacts on the demand for infrastructure. The
following data is relevant for infrastructure planning
in the PIP:

existing and projected population for each
projection area (Table 4.2.10.1)—estimated
resident population figures from OESR and
ABS may be used with adjustments to account
for:
Non-residential development
The quantity and type of non-residential
development impacts on demand for infrastructure.
The following data is relevant for infrastructure
planning in the PIP:

use (Table 4.2.9.2)—a categorisation to
convey the type and scale of employment
generating activities in the projection area/s.

existing and projected employment (Table
4.2.10.3)—the number of persons currently
employed can be obtained from special
census tables, local knowledge, research and
surveys. Projections of future employment
may not be precise, but should broadly
indicate for each use category the
employment growth likely to occur.

conversion rate—the average number of
employees per floor area for a use, the rate at
which land and floorspace for each category is
provided, usually expressed as square metres
- significant holiday population
- population growth since census data
was last updated
Refer to definitions in Statutory guideline 01/11 – Priority infrastructure
plan

PIP practice note 1 – planning assumptions
-3-
of floorspace and/or per net developable
hectare3. Again, this may not be precise, but
indicates the area of service catchment and
extent of trunk infrastructure required to
service non-residential development.

assumed growth for each type of employment
related use (Table 4.2.10.4)—the employment
projections and conversion rates are used to
estimate the additional floor space and land
(expressed in square metres and hectares)
required to service the projection area. This
estimate should align with residential
projection periods. Floor space assists in
determining traffic generation and other
‘demands’ on infrastructure. The ratio of floor
area to land area varies for different use
categories. It is therefore appropriate that land
area associated with the projected floor space
requirements should be accounted for.
Converting growth projections
into demand
For medium and high growth local governments,
residential and non-residential population
projections alone are not detailed enough to support
council decisions regarding infrastructure provision.
Converting projections into demand generation
provides local government with a mechanism to
assess likely impacts of development on
infrastructure networks and supports local
government decisions.
Demand units
The demand for infrastructure is usually expressed
as demand units2 for specific trunk infrastructure
networks. Demand units provide a standard unit of
measurement to express demand on a trunk
infrastructure network.
Refer to definition in Statutory guideline 01/11 – Priority infrastructure
plan for a definition of net developable area
3
PIP practice note 1 – planning assumptions
The following are examples of demand units for
each infrastructure network:

water and sewerage—demand generated per
equivalent person (EP) or equivalent tenement
(ET) per day

transport—number of trips generated per day

stormwater—impervious area per hectare

parks and land for community facilities—
number of people.
Local governments are responsible for determining
demand units and can use records on trunk
infrastructure use to inform their development.
Demand rates
Infrastructure demand rates (measured in demand
units) are the rate at which a use type is expected to
generate demand on a trunk infrastructure network.
For residential development, demand rates are
usually expressed as per net developable hectare.
Household size (e.g. average occupants per
dwelling) is important in determining the demand
rates for a residential use type. Using the average
demand rate per household and the average and
the assumed scale of development (e.g. Table
4.2.6.1) local government can determine the
demand rate per hectare.
For example, an area of low density residential use
type is expected to accommodate an average of 10
dwellings per net developable hectare (net dev ha).
Where the average occupancy rate is 2.8 persons,
the demand rate per dwelling can be assumed as
2.8 EPs (equivalent persons) per dwelling. To
extrapolate the demand per dwelling into demand
per net dev ha, the number of EPs per dwelling is
multiplied by the average number of dwellings per
net dev ha (2.8 x 10 = 28). The assumed demand
rate is 28 EPs per net dev ha.
Each EP represents an average water use per day.
This is calculated by dividing the average household
-4-
water use per day (e.g. 390 litres a day) by the
average number of EPs per dwelling which in this
example is 2.8 (390 / 2.8 = 139).
On this basis, one EP represents a consumption of
139 litres and the demand rate is 28 EPs per dev
ha. Therefore the anticipated demand generated on
water infrastructure by a low density residential use
type is 3892 litres per day (139 litres X 28 EP) per
net dev ha.
Non-residential development demand rates are
usually expressed per floor area or per hectare. The
number of job opportunities and the type of existing
or anticipated use helps determine the demand rate
for non-residential development. Using the average
demand rate per use type and assumed scale of
development (e.g. Table 4.2.6.2) local government
can determine the demand rate for non-residential
development.
Demand rates are also reflective of how
communities use infrastructure. Changes in
infrastructure use behaviours should be accounted
for (e.g. rising cost of fuel may influence the number
of trips per day) in the demand rates.
Demand rates are used as a point of reference
when assessing development applications for
inconsistency with the type and scale of growth.
Table 4.2.11.1 outlines assumed infrastructure
demand rates represented as demand units for
each trunk infrastructure network.
Generation rates table
Where demand is expressed as a rate (i.e 28 EP
per dev ha), it is necessary to include a second
table in the PIP, a demand generation table (refer to
Table 4.2.11.2). The generation rates table is a tool
used to calculate the demand which a proposed
development will impose on trunk infrastructure.
The generation rates table can include generation
rates for each use type (such as commercial,
industrial or residential uses) and for each type of
development (such as material change of use,
reconfiguration of lot or building works).
PIP practice note 1 – planning assumptions
The rate calculated in accordance with the
generation rate table is compared to the demand
rate in the PIP to determine if a development is
consistent or inconsistent.
Total demand on network or service catchment
By converting growth projections (Tables 4.2.10.1,
4.2.10.2, 4.2.10.3 and 4.2.10.3) into demand rates,
local government can determine the total existing
and projected demand which will be placed on a
network or service catchment.
Understanding the total existing and future demand
on trunk infrastructure enables local governments to
plan for the provision of infrastructure to support that
demand. Table 4.2.11.3.X can be manipulated to
summarise the total existing and projected demand
on each trunk infrastructure network.
Assumptions and
inconsistent development
Development applications may be assessed for
consistency against the PIP assumptions about the
type, scale, location or timing of development. If a
development application is inconsistent, local
government and state infrastructure providers may
impose certain additional infrastructure cost
conditions of approval under SPA.
The PIP needs to express the assumptions in such
a way that assessment can be conducted in a
logical manner and inconsistent development can
be easily identified.
For high and medium growth local governments the
type and scale of development is assessed by
determining anticipated demand on a network using
generation rates (Table 4.2.11.2) and comparing the
result with the demand rates table (Table 4.2.11.1).
For low growth local governments, projections about
population, employment, land use and floor area
(Table 4.2.10.1 to 4.2.10.4) can be used as an
alternative unit of measure.
-5-
For location of development the demarcation of the
priority infrastructure area (PIA) determines whether
the proposed development is consistent or
inconsistent. Those development applications
outside the PIA which require trunk infrastructure
provision are considered inconsistent with the PIP.
For timing of development the schedules of work
supporting the plans for trunk infrastructure (PFTI)
identify when future infrastructure will be
constructed. PFTI are used to assess if
development applications are consistent with the
assumptions about timing.

In relation to formatting and numbering the
indicative methodology is Queensland Planning
Provision version 3 compliant. Local government
can edit the formatting and numbering to align with
the relevant local government planning scheme.
Reviewing and amending
planning assumptions
Section 628 of SPA stipulates that local
governments prescribed in the Sustainable Planning
Regulation 2009 are to undertake a PIP review at
least once every five years. This review process
provides medium and high growth local
governments and state infrastructure providers an
opportunity to reassess and adjust planning
assumptions where necessary.
Other local governments will review the PIP when
required or when a new planning scheme is drafted.
Indicative methodology
This practice note includes an indicative
methodology below to support local government in
the development of planning assumptions. Local
government have the flexibility to use all, part or an
alternative to this methodology. Where an
alternative methodology is used, it must clearly
demonstrate how growth projections were reached
and how those assumptions were converted into
demand.

Projections of population and employment growth expected to occur within local
government area are contained in Tables <4.2.10.1 to 4.2.10.4>.
<Low and no growth local governments with small population town centres may base
assumptions about demand generation on the population, dwelling, employment and
floorspace growth projection tables. In these cases, projections must be included in the PIP
and not in a schedule.>
<For some local governments determining growth projections for the entire local government
area is unfeasible and unnecessary. Using both statistical information and local knowledge
local government can identify the projection area/s in which to undertake population and
employment growth projections. The number, location and size of projection areas will
depend on the population, settlement patterns and growth rates of the local government
area.>
