Intergrated Development Assessment System (IDAS)
The Integrated Planning Act 1997, commonly referred to as IPA, forms the foundation of Queensland’s planning and development assessment legislation.
IPA establishes a simple step-by-step process for making, assessing and deciding development applications in Queensland. This process is called the Integrated Development Assessment System, or IDAS.
Prior to the commencement of IPA and the introduction of IDAS there were approximately 60 different approval systems relating to development in Queensland. These approvals all had their own separate processes for lodgement, assessment and decision making, even where they applied to the same proposal.
IPA brings all these separate approval processes together into one integrated package—IDAS. For more information visit the Local Government and Planning website.
