During formal consultation on the proposed planning scheme, 26 in-person events were held to help the community learn more about the proposed planning scheme, including:

• 15 x speak to a planner (one-on-one) drop-in sessions
• 8 x local pop-up sessions at shopping centres and markets
• 3 x community forums.

You can download a full list of all in-person sessions and events here.

Other ways to get involved

During the consultation period, the community was also able to ask questions and get involved by:

• dropping in to Sunshine Coast City Hall foyer to chat with a staff member about the proposed planning scheme
• emailing the project team: newplanningscheme@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au.
• requesting a call back.

Council hosted three community forums on the proposed planning scheme during the consultation period - at Nambour, Buddina and Caloundra. We were thrilled so many members of our community were able to join us to share their thoughts and ask questions.

We’re pleased to share responses to the nearly 300 questions raised at these community forums.
