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.
