PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                         9 MARCH 2021


Finance
With the exception of staff time and associated costs of planning scheme amendments (such as
advertising), there are no financial implications for ratepayers in general for scheme amendments.
A review of the Housing Needs Assessment would benefit from the involvement of social planners
and therefore would incur professional consultant fees.
Risks & Opportunities
The proposed amendments to Noosa Plan 2020 provide an opportunity to increase housing supply
for smaller dwellings and housing affordability. Should Council not proceed with the amendments,
development for additional smaller dwelling will be more limited.
Consultation
External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder
Community consultation will occur as a mandatory component of planning scheme amendments.
Specific minimum requirements will be specified by the State but will include public notices,
notifying landowners directly affected by zone changes and carrying out targeted consultation with
housing providers and social networks.
Internal Consultation
