ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                           2 JANUARY 2014




PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
At its Ordinary Meeting held on 20th September 2012 Sunshine Coast Council resolved:

That Council, noting the upcoming exhibition of the draft planning scheme and submissions still
to be received, defer consideration of the potential increased restricted use of the Noosa North
Shore Landing Reserve, including the barring of helicopter training, until such time that it has fully
considered the views of operators, users and the needs of the aviation sector, along with
community interests.

REPORT
The Site
The airstrip is approximately 1.5km inland from the coast. The airstrip is located on Lot 7
MCH4562 which was declared as Reserve for Landing Ground for Aircraft R967 in June 1948.
Council is trustee of the reserve.

The Teewah Airstrip consists of three short overlapping runways and is currently used for
ultralight aircraft, hang gliding, model planes and helicopter training activities. It is also used by
fixed wing aircraft for approach training activities though these aircraft are not permitted to land
as the airstrip was closed by Council to landings by fixed wing aircraft in 2006.
