Background Information

There were a number of background planning studies and key corporate strategies and policies that have contributed to the Caloundra City Plan project.

The 2001-2006 Caloundra City Corporate Plan represents a major change in the approach to planning for Caloundra City 's future. For the first time the Corporate Plan focuses on outcomes – the effects on the community of the services and facilities the council provides.

In the early stages of the Caloundra City Plan project, a number of background planning studies were prepared to fill information gaps in council's existing database. These background studies included:

• Bushfire Management Study
• Habitat and Biodiversity Study
• Landscape Assessment Study
• Good Quality Agricultural Land Study
• Commercial Centres Hierarchy Review Report
• Industrial Land Review Report
• Cultural Heritage Issues Report (Non-indigenous)
• Urban Design Report (Coastal Area)
• Community Planning Study
