Mackay Regional Council has prepared Local Government Infrastructure Plan (LGIP) amendment 3 and is undertaking public consultation from September 2, 2026 to September 30, 2026.  

This LGIP amendment is being made after a five-year review of the LGIP indicated that an LGIP amendment was required to update certain aspects of the LGIP.   

The purpose and general effect of this LGIP amendment is to: 

  • Update growth figures to reflect Mackay Growth Allocation Model (MGAM 2020) data;
  • Update the schedule of works to align with the latest capital plan; 
  • Make minor adjustments to the desired standards of service; 
  • Updated catchment demand; and 
  • Update LGIP mapping to reflect the schedule of works. 

Note that:  

  • There is no change to the priority infrastructure area (PIA) proposed;
  • The review confirmed financial compliance and alignment between the proposed schedule of works and Council’s long term financial forecasts and the asset management plan. 
  • This LGIP amendment applies to the whole Mackay LGA.  

Proposed draft materials

The LGIP amendment may be viewed online or inspected and purchased at the Administration building at 73 Gordon Street, Mackay.
