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

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.

RG Strategic was engaged by RLSSQ to redesign and seek the Food Premises approvals for our commercial kitchen and kiosk. Russell and his team at RG Strategic assisted with the project from initial planning, through to completion of work. Russel was well versed in council guidelines and requirements, and referred us to sources for cost-efficient suppliers, etc. The Food Premises project was completed quickly and passed Council inspection without any fuss. Thanks, Russell.

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!

We had RG strategic help with an extra licensed area at Whisky Boy in Noosaville. Russell dealt with liquor licensing from start to finish and we had the area approved by the date that we requested, wouldn't have happened so quickly without their help. The team at RG Strategic are super professional and go the extra mile to help with all the red tape that comes with a project such as this. We will definitely be using them again in the future for any other town planning we would require in the Noosa area. Thanks again, great job!
