About OnePlan
Blueprint for the Bush
OnePlan is part of the Queensland Government's Blueprint for the Bush, a 10-year initiative to build a sustainable, liveable and prosperous rural Queensland, with healthy and productive landscapes.
Blueprint for the Bush has funded OnePlan to help simplify the understanding of rural planning processes, which is used by industry and the following government agencies:
- Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM)
- Queensland Primary Industries and Fisheries (QPIF), Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI)
- QRAA (formerly the Queensland Rural Adjustment Authority).
Peak rural industry groups and the Queensland Government have agreed to work together to promote and improve property planning. A Memorandum of Understanding (PDF, 87K)* has been signed with Queensland Farmers Federation and its member organisations.
The OnePlan approach is also part of the Smart Regulation reform agenda (Queensland Office for Regulatory Efficiency), which seeks to reduce regulatory burden by streamlining legislation and regulatory processes.
OnePlan approach
The OnePlan approach provides a framework for streamlining and simplifying regulatory requirements for landholders through existing property level planning, farm management and best management practice systems. This includes implementing processes for integrating multiple land management requirements, and better aligning regulatory requirements and industry and catchment programs.
The process is supported by easier access to government natural resource information and planning information.
OnePlan goals
OnePlan goals include:
- simplifying requirements for regulatory, property planning and assistance programs
- working with industry on developing farm management and best management practice systems that can be recognised or accredited to meet regulatory requirements and demonstrate compliance with legal and industry requirements
- improving access to property planning and management information
- improving knowledge of, and access to, regulatory requirements, assistance programs and property planning programs.
OnePlan modules
OnePlan has streamlined several planning requirements, including those for:
Property planning pages within the DERM website coordinate access to further programs and resources.
