The 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.
