New Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme Project
In partnership with the community, Council is preparing a new planning scheme.
Sunshine Coast Council is preparing a new planning scheme that will replace the current Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014.
The proposed planning scheme has been carefully shaped by community feedback. It aims to help preserve the things we love about our region and build a bright future. It will guide new development based on an overarching vision for the Sunshine Coast, balancing local needs and regional planning requirements.

The proposed planning scheme for the Sunshine Coast is now available for everyone to view and explore. Visit Council’s Have your Say website to find out what the proposed planning scheme means for you and our region and how to make a submission.
