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.

- Secondary Dwellings in Rural Areas: Clear guidelines for secondary dwellings in Rural and Rural Residential zones.
- 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.
- Zoning Map Amendments: Potential changes affecting key locations such as Doonella Street (Tewantin), Goodchap Street (Noosaville), Carramar (Cooroy Noosa Road, Tewantin), Ben Lexcen Drive (Sunrise Beach), and Garnet Street (Cooroy).

A massive thank you to Russell Green for his amazing thorough and professional work!! We came to Russell with a dream and he turned it into a reality. Our business was approved within a couple of very short months and we have been up and running for nearly 4 months now. Our business is now succeeding amazingly well in such a short time and we could not be more thankful!!!

Russell and his team assisted our business through council town planning and licensing applications. We were faced with several challenges however RG Strategic overcame these with their knowledge, experience and tenacity. Without RG Strategic we would would be still trying to overcome our challenges years later. I highly recommend Russell and his team for all matters of town planning, consultation, licensing and business strategy support.

I was faced with the urgent task of applying for a food license with a very tight deadline. After assessing the overwhelming amount of paperwork involved, I decided to engage in the services of RG Strategic. I phoned Russell Green at 5.00pm on Thursday afternoon. He put my mind at ease on the spot, Russell was on site at 8.00am the next morning to start the process. From that point I did not need to do anything further. Russell and his amazing team handled the entire process from filling in the paperwork, organising elevated drawings and providing all of the relevant documentation needed for the application. My understanding from the council was this process would take 28 days from the time the application was submitted, plus the time to prepare the documentation. This would have taken me at least 2 weeks. From my first phone contact with Russell we had a license approval after 12 days. I could not recommend Russell and his team highly enough. I will be using RG Strategic for many years to come.
