Noosa Plan 2020, Town Planning
Noosa Shire is preparing for significant changes to the Noosa Plan 2020, and we want to ensure you are informed and ready.
These amendments aim to address housing choice and affordability issues, potentially impacting property owners and residents across the Shire.
At their meeting on 13 May 2024, Noosa Shire’s General Committee reviewed proposed amendments and endorsed them for public notification and community consultation.
This is a critical moment for the community to get involved and have their say.
Why These Changes Matter
The proposed amendments to the Noosa Plan 2020 are designed to tackle ongoing concerns about housing diversity and affordability.
While the exact details of the amendments are confidential until their release on 31 May 2024, we know they will involve important changes to definitions, zoning adjustments, and new requirements aimed at better meeting the housing needs of Noosa Shire.

- Relocatable Home Parks: Extending consistent use provisions for retirement facilities to include relocatable home parks.
- Simplified Approvals for Rural Dwellings: Removing several requirements for accepted development of dwelling houses in rural zones.

I engaged Russell Green from RG Strategic to help me to obtain planning approval for a development project in a sensitive Local Government Area. Throughout the town planning application, Russell not only provided me with the expertise necessary to acquire planning consent but gave me the guidance that I needed to navigate my way through the Council’s Regulated Procedures. Russell and his team consulted with various Local Authorities, Local Members and multiple industry representatives to ensure they provided me with the highest professional level of service and the best available options for development that was essential to the success of the development project. Russell went above and beyond to assist me. I highly recommend Russell and his team to anyone seeking a successful town planning application approval.

We engaged RG Strategic to help us with our liquor licence and food licence for our new venue Flo's Creperie in Mooloolaba. Having worked with Russell, Maree and Tracey during the launch of our Noosa venue, we already knew they were a highly professional and knowledgeable team. This time, however, they really went above and beyond, performing a few miracles along the way to ensure we opened up on time. We couldn't be more grateful for their arduous work and commitment. I highly recommend RG Strategic to anyone who needs assistance with planning matters, and I look forward to working with them again in future!

Russell and the team at RG Strategic were amazing throughout our whole Development Application with council. To be honest, I don't think we would have even made the move to our new premises with how daunting a Material Change of Use Application is. We are experts in human movement, not this stuff, so we are super grateful these guys made the process seamless and also speedy! Council told us a 3-5 month application process and these guys got it in right on the 3 month mark for us! Thanks for your patience and professionalism guys! We appreciate it more than words can say.
