The Urban Footprint - identifies the land necessary for urban expansion and development up to the year 2031 and covers existing and greenfield areas. The Rural Living Area - identifies areas designated for rural residential development under local government planning schemes and where further such development is permitted. These areas are spatially defined by lot boundaries (cadastre) on regulatory maps at 1:50,000 scale. The SEQRP 2009 does not permit urban development outside of the Urban Footprint. This represents about 85% of the region, including areas in Redland City set aside for koala habitat. According to the plan, 50% of new dwellings in SEQ will be accommodated by infill and redevelopment in existing urban areas. Infill dwelling targets are identified for each local government area and these have to be planned for in local planning schemes. Higher density and mixed-use development will be focussed around regional activity centres and high-frequency transit corridors, such as the Brisbane CBD, Ipswich, Maroochydore, Southport and Chermside.
