A 1987 subdivision approval given under the 1978 Brisbane Town Plan is not a 'continuing approval' under s 6.1.24(1) of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (Qld) because the 1978 Town Plan was not a 'former planning scheme' as defined in s 6.1.1 — it was neither a scheme under the 1990 Act nor in force immediately before the 1997 Act. The broader definition in s 6.1.24(4) cannot be imported into s 6.1.24(1) via textual substitution of the defined term 'continuing approval'. A subdivision approval whose conditions were all pre-subdivision conditions is not 'in force' after the subdivision has been effected.
