A new planning scheme for the Sunshine Coast
Council is preparing a new planning scheme that will replace the current Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014. The proposed planning scheme is important to everyone on the Sunshine Coast. It will help shape our neighbourhoods and our region. It’s about the places where we live, work, learn and play.
Preparing a new planning scheme is a multi-year project with many stages, including two key community consultation phases – Preliminary public consultation (Step 2) and Formal public consultation on a proposed planning scheme (Step 5).
* The plan making process is anticipated to take several years to complete (noting that the timing of certain steps in the process, such as state interest reviews are not within council's control).
Preliminary consultation - What you told us
To ensure the new planning scheme reflects our community’s vision for the region, Council conducted an extensive preliminary consultation program. Consultation feedback has helped inform the preparation of a proposed planning scheme for the Sunshine Coast.
Learn more about the preliminary consultation.
Understanding planning
Now is a great time to learn what makes up a planning scheme. We want everyone to understand what’s planned for our region, so we’ve created a number of resources to simply and clearly explain the key elements of a planning scheme. Understanding these elements will help you have your say when the proposed planning scheme is released for community feedback.
Visit Council’s New Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme Project webpage to learn more.
Further community consultation
Soon you’ll be able to explore the Proposed Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme, find out what it means for you and provide formal feedback.
