Noosa Shire Council compiled dwelling approvals data between 1 July 2011 and 30 June 2016.
The data has been analysed to give an indication of development activity as well as the change in
dwelling numbers and types in the years since the 2011 census. The data is summarised in Table

and net dwellings, by dwelling type and locality.

approved by Noosa Shire Council, including 1,218 houses, 101 units (including secondary
dwellings), 2 semi-detached dwellings and 4 cabins.

Of the 1,325 net dwellings approved, 391 dwellings were approved in the Noosaville and Doonan
locality (30%), 263 dwellings were approved in Noosa Heads (20%) and 222 dwellings were
approved in the Ridgewood to Tinbeerwah locality (17%).
