SCRC Planning Scheme 2024

Sunshine Coast Regional Council Planning Scheme 2024

This page has been created to provide information from Council relating to the Planning Scheme 2024 (PS2024) and also to provide material for and from the community on this important issue.

At the January 2021 Ordinary Meeting of the Sunshine Coast Regional Council (SCRC) a motion to commence the preparation of a new planning scheme was debated and carried.

OSCAR welcomed this action by Council.

Results of the Preliminary Consultation Program

Council sought community feedback during February and March 2022, as part of the Preliminary Consultation Program. Read the outcome of this process below.

(Note – we have included predominately text only versions of these documents to enable quicker upload time and to provide more printable versions; this is something the Council should be doing as their published documents, although “aesthetically pleasing”, are very large, problematic to print and cannot be read properly by screen reader software that is used by people with a visual impairment.)
