The proposed Buderim and Surrounds Local Plan Area (LPA) is located centrally on the Sunshine Coast close to the coastline. It reflects the existing communities of interest of Buderim and Mons and parts of Mountain Creek, Forest Glen and Tanawha. The proposed local plan area contains highly constrained steep and vegetated areas on the Buderim escarpment.

Level of change proposed
Opportunities for further growth and development in this local plan area are limited, primarily due to physical and environmental constraints such as steep and unstable land, bushfire, flooding and native vegetation. There are opportunities for some further growth and development in the undeveloped area along Wises Road/ North Buderim Boulevard and parts of Forest Glen.

he Sunshine Coast is included in the State Government’s South East Queensland Regional Plan 2023 (SEQ Regional Plan). This plan includes an Urban Footprint, which outlines the State Government’s preferred location for our region’s future urban development. The proposed planning scheme also encourages compact urban growth near jobs, services, entertainment and recreation, connected by existing and planned high frequency public transport.
