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.

My partner and I own a Fitness Centre on the Northside of Brisbane City. As we are young business owners in the fitness industry, we were unaware of Brisbane City Councils zoning & change of use requirements. In the very early stages of our business, we were notified by the BCC that we needed town planning approval to continue trading in our location, and originally it looked as if our young gym was going to be forced to close. After contacting Russell at RG Strategic, our minds and stresses were immediately put at ease. We trusted that he would find a way to make it work for us, and through his amazing knowledge of Town Planning and development application needs, he was able to secure a permanent town planning approval for our location. We cannot recommend his services enough! Throughout the whole process, RG Strategic has handled our case with the utmost care and communication, so that we were able to continue to focus on building our business, whilst they attended to the needed requirements of the development application and subsequent town planning approval. We have managed to stay stress-free and cannot thank RG Strategic enough!

RG Strategic is the best on the Sunshine Coast (Noosa), hands down! They have been a pivotal part of our success in areas like town planning, liquor licensing and business strategy. Communication channels are always clear and open and deadlines are always met. I can't recommend them enough. Russell goes above and beyond to make it all happen!
