The Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014 is being replaced.
The Sunshine Coast Council has started the process of preparing for a new planning scheme that will drive planning in the local government area until 2041.
The planning scheme will guide future land use and development including setting local plan boundaries and how the Sunshine Coast will manage growth into the future.
Preliminary public consultation now open
The council has now opened up the initial consultation period for input from the public. They are seeking feedback on the proposed vision and planning directions for the region, planning for local areas, as well as a range of other topics including:
- Housing affordability
- Car parking
- Carports
- Climate change
- Design of multiple dwellings
- Dual occupancies and secondary dwellings
- Service stations
- Short-term accommodation
- Supply and use of industrial land
- Uses in rural areas
While all of these are significant issues, one of particular topical interest is what Sunshine Coast might be doing about short term accommodation in the future knowing what has happened in Noosa.
If you would like to make a submission on any of the topics above, you must do so by 31 March.

I've engaged Russell from RG Strategic to assist with Development Approval for 3 projects and it has helped me increase the speed of approval while delivering overall cost savings. Russell has vast experience navigating Town Planning in Noosa and whether you need help with a Development Application for a commercial or residential building through to the complexities of Food Standards Approvals he will be able to assist. His fee structure is transparent and predictable and his advice is always spot on.

Russell from RG Strategic did a great job in getting Council approval for our short term accommodation. We found Russell very friendly and competent and really knows his stuff. Highly recommended!

I recently opened Herbert Restaurant in Noosa Junction. Russell and his team's assistance with planning and licensing during the building of my restaurant was outstanding. Engaging professionals like RG Strategic saved us time and money, allowing us to focus on areas where we could have the most impact. I will be using them on our next project.

I had a meeting with RG Strategic seeking advice and direction regarding development for a property we were looking into. The depth of knowledge and experience meant that the information they provided and the brainstorming we did together left me as confident as possible about the decisions I made. I feel comfortable knowing I have RG Strategic to work through and get Town Planning advice and work through strategy on my developments. Thank you very much team.
