Council adopted the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014 (Qualified State Interest Amendment) No. 17 – Rooftop Uses on 27 November 2018.

 

The purpose of the planning scheme amendment is to incentivise the provision of certain rooftop uses (e.g. bar, restaurant, hotel, function facility, ancillary sport and recreation use) where accessible to the general public and located on a site in a nominated key tourism area at Maroochydore, Mooloolaba/Alexandra Headland or Coolum.

 

The general effect of the planning scheme amendment is to provide a limited and qualified additional building height allowance for these uses, where the built form is appropriately designed to minimise the impression of building height.

 

The amendment took effect on and from 10 December 2018.

 

A copy of the amendment is available for inspection or purchase at Council’s Development Information Counter located at 10 First Avenue, Maroochydore, or can be viewed and downloaded from Council’s website www.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/planningscheme.
