Our work Speaks for us

It has been a pleasure and I hope to continue working with Renee Wall. Wall Planning Group have successfully delivered numerous projects on behalf of Sheds n Homes, which has helped our reasonably new business grow beyond our original expectations. Renee takes away our town planning headaches, saves us money up front, delivers on time and seeks where possible to avoid town planning all together. Renee has recently saved us over $50K by working out a way to avoid the need for planning approval for our new Sheds n Homes head quarters in the Whitsundays.


Paul Sharrock - Director

SHEDS n HOMES

Renee Wall at Wall Planning Group has helped to facilitate our Seniors Living Project on behalf of the Belyando Enterprise Network Inc (BENI) – a not for profit organization.  Our project vision was ‘to ensure residents from Clermont and surrounds have the opportunity to continue to live in Clermont where they are connected to and integrated with the local community, regardless of their stage of life or level of care required’. Renee provided a Development Feasibility Report that considered 9 possible sites for development, commissioned a Demographic Study, undertook a Community Survey including community briefings and drop-in sessions and analysis of results and will facilitate a series of Focus Groups for the project.  We would be happy to recommend Renee and the Wall Planning Group team to empower you to achieve our project vision.

Queensland's Renewable Energy Code to Build Stronger Communities

By Anthony Elliott • 01 Oct, 2024
Written by Anthony Elliott In April 2024 the Queensland Government foreshadowed a mandatory renewable energy code of conduct to ensure communities get a fair share of Queensland’s renewable energy boom. So, what is the scale of the boom for Queensland? Well, big. Estimates in the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan pegged the investment at $62 Billion between 2022 and 2035, creating 100,000 jobs. Renewable energy investment, approvals and projects will need to move without delay in the next 11 years to catapult Queensland from the current rate of 27% renewable energy production to the targets of 50% by 2030, 70% by 2032 and 80% by 2035. The new code aims to set “Set standard for social licence and regional community priorities”. This includes “demonstrating tangible benefits for communities, and improvements to infrastructure, jobs, local economy, the environment and social fabric”. The case for a new code is compelling. In February 2024, the Australian Energy Infrastructure Commissioner’s (AEIC) Community Engagement Review was publicly released and sent a strong signal that community engagement was not meeting community expectations. This included: 92% were dissatisfied with the extent to which project developers engaged with the local community 85% were dissatisfied with the explanations provided by the project developers in response to their questions 89% stated that the information they received from project developers was not relevant to the concerns they raised 85% of stated that their concerns were not addressed in a timely manner. The code is currently being co-designed with industry collaborators and a Community/Customer Outcomes Group, supported by the Energy Charter and Queensland Renewable Energy Council. The code will require renewable energy developers engage genuinely with landholders and communities when developing, building and operating new generation and storage projects. Renee Wall, Director of Wall Planning Group said ”The timing of this announcement by the government means that all planned and existing renewable energy projects in Queensland need to take a closer look at the social impact on community, and engage more deeply with communities before, and during the project lifecycle. Other large scale projects in Queensland’s many Renewable Energy Zones may also need to consider the cumulative social and community impact of their projects, alongside renewable energy projects.” As the first state mandatory code of conduct for renewable energy developers the code will set the benchmark for Community Engagement policy in Australia. ------------------- Wall Planning Group is a Queensland based planning firm specialising in supporting the delivery of major energy, resources, and development projects including project management, master planning, social impact assessment, and community engagement.

Queensland's Critical Minerals and Renewable Energy Jackpot

By Anthony Elliott • 01 Oct, 2024
 Written by Anthony Elliott In July 2024, the Queensland Government launched Queensland’s new Critical Mineral’s Prospectus and Critical Mineral’s Investor Hub. Resources and Critical Minerals Minister Scott Stewart said ‘Queensland is in the box seat to capitalise on the global push to decarbonise because quite simply, we’ve won the geological lottery,” Queensland has an abundance of critical minerals and renewable energy potential combined with a track record of experience in mining. This unique confluence sets the stage for Queensland as an emerging international leader in the production of renewable energy and associated technologies and battery storage. Fortuitous indeed, given the demand for critical minerals is expected to triple as a result of existing global commitments to emissions reductions according to the International Energy Agency. Resources are already a major driver of Queensland’s economy. In the 2020 financial year, the resources industry contributed $27.5 billion to Queensland’s economy (over 8% of the state’s economy), directly employed 77,000 Queenslanders, with 70 per cent of these in regional areas. The Critical Minerals Prospectus is backed by the Queensland Critical Minerals Strategy and the Queensland Resources Industry Development Plan (QRIDP), which provides a 30-year roadmap to grow and strengthen Queensland’s resources industry to create jobs and prosperity well into the future through the development of Queensland’s critical minerals sector. So, what are Critical Minerals? To be classified as a critical mineral, a metallic or non-metallic element must be: Essential to our modern technologies, economies or national security; and At risk of supply chain disruption. Australia has listed 31 critical resources identified as essential to: Decarbonisation of industries; Renewable energy in Queensland; and Aerospace and defence industries. Queensland has some of the world’s richest mineral-producing areas. The table below provides a snapshot of Queensland’s critical minerals $10 Billion investment opportunity (potential or current).

Cattle Feedlot Approvals in Queensland

By Admin Wallplanning • 26 Aug, 2024
 Cattle plays a massive part of Queensland's agricultural industry and economy. With the need for cattle feedlots growing, Wall Planning Group (WPG) have obtained approvals for numerous feedlot projects across Queensland. Need feedlot approval? Here is what you need to know. Feedlots and Environmental Approvals When submitting a feedlot development application for approval, it can be a little more time consuming than many people anticipate. Where a lot of development applications may only deal with local Council, approval for a cattle feedlot can involve meeting legislative requirements of multiple State Government agencies. One prime example is an Environmental Authority (EA) . Cattle Feedlots exceeding 150 standard cattle units (SCU) are considered an Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA) under the Environmental Protection Regulation 2019 and so require an Environmental Authority approved by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF). In addition, many farms are situated along state-controlled roads and railway corridors, others may have threatened species of flora or fauna, and some may have critical wetlands and waterways. These, and others, can require submissions of applications with the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA) . This is why it is recommended that a town planner be hired to carry out the application process. WPG have the connections, knowledge, and experience to know exactly what needs to be addressed and how best to address it.
