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 found Russell at RG Strategic to be thoroughly efficient, quickly in tune with my needs, and delightfully pleasant to deal with.

I can't recommend highly enough Russell Green (Town Planning Consultant) and his team at RG Strategic. Noosa is challenged currently by proposed changes to our town plan, which will potentially seriously impact our future economic growth. As a manager of one of Queensland's largest luxury accommodation providers, based in Noosa and representing more than 200 individual property investors, Russell has been an invaluable resource as we seek to ensure they are well informed as to these proposed impacts to their property values and use. His experience as a Councillor and Planner within Council gives him unique access and insight which serves to save time and cost when seeking his advice and expertise.

The prompt advice and expertise of the RG Strategic team at the town planning stage, has allowed us to push forward with our developments far quicker than we had expected, through a far shorter Council approval process, and this has resulted in significant cost savings. This prompt and valuable advice has extended to the operational works and hydraulics requirements of the development, and we look forward to a long relationship with RG Strategic.

Prompt responses from him and his team and I received regular updates throughout. A great team and service was fantastic throughout!! I will definitely be using them again for future applications!
