REPORT
Council has undertaken significant community consultation in the preparation of its new Planning
Scheme.

Council formally initiated the preparation of its new planning scheme for the whole of Noosa Shire
on 15 September 2016. The preparation of making a new planning scheme has followed the
process outlined in the Minister’s Guidelines and Rules for making and amending planning
schemes, particularly the Notice pursuant to section 18 of the Planning Act 2016 issued by the
Chief Executive in March 2018.

The process to prepare a new plan commenced with preparation of a Discussion Paper that
expressed numerous policy ideas addressing seven themes and also the localities in Noosa Shire.
The Discussion Paper was released for community feedback between October and December
2016 resulting in approximately 500 suggestions.
