Approved Development Scheme

Flagstone has been earmarked for development by the Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA), the Greater Flagstone UDA Development Scheme has been approved and is now in effect. 

The development scheme is the planning document that will assist the Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA) in planning, carrying out, promoting, coordinating and managing the development of land in the Greater Flagstone Urban Development Area (UDA).

The Future Regional Town of Greater Flagstone

Greater Flagstone will ultimately comprise 50,000 dwellings and be home to up to 120,000 people covering an area of approximately 7,200 hectares. The vision for Greater Flagstone is for a self contained regional town including a new major activity centre and major employment clusters. The urban community will comprise a mix of residential types and density and is planned to achieve a high level of employment self containment and diversity with an integrated regional open space network to support an active and liveable community. The Greater Flagstone UDA is located in one of the largest job and industry growth areas in Australia and offers opportunities for further residential growth to meet the region’s housing needs.

Greater Flagstone will play an integral role in providing various employment opportunities through the establishment and growth of the new town centre and will support the supply of housing by creating a diverse and innovative community supported by planned transport and infrastructure networks. It will incorporate the main town centre for the region located next to the existing railway (future commuter passenger service and station planned).  Surrounding this will be the transitional town frame which will include more residential and support uses, and then the traditional neighbourhood design of sub neighbourhoods within walking distance of neighbourhood centres. 

The final masterplan will use contemporary planning incorporating many of the commercially viable principles of new urbanism.  Principally, this is around walkable neighbourhoods incorporating well spaced recreation and retail/commercial/community centres, employment close to homes and diversity of product.  Local employment generation is a key element of making this work.
