How QLD zones work in practice
Each zone has a Land Use Table in the council planning scheme that classifies uses as accepted development (no DA needed), code-assessable (assessed against benchmarks only), impact-assessable (broad merit assessment with public notification), or prohibited. The same use is treated differently in different zones.
Zone controls are only one layer. Your project must also comply with applicable development assessment pathways, overlays (heritage, flood, bushfire, koala), state-level controls (State Planning Policy + SARA referrals), and any title restrictions (covenants, easements, registered dealings).
