Abstract
This thesis argues that Australian state and local government planning authorities should not require complete master planned community (MPC) developers to provide non-retail employment centres within their projects. While MPC developers may choose to do so as part of their respective corporate strategies, the mandatory institution of such a requirement does not assist planning authorities in achieving their intended outcome of bringing jobs closer to its residents. The context of this research is set in South-east Queensland (SEQ), the fastest growing metropolitan area in Australia. State and national planning authorities have favoured the creation of complete MPCs located in suburban greenfield areas to provide housing for the increasing population. These integrated communities offer a variety of housing options, recreational features and employment opportunities intended to achieve job-housing balance and minimise work-related travel.
