Council adopted the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014 (Major Amendment and Alignment Amendment) No. 14 – Maroochydore Principal Regional Activity Centre on 5 June 2018.
 
The amendment has been prepared in response to legislative changes and the declaration of the Maroochydore City Centre Priority Development Area (PDA), and seeks to simplify and streamline the planning provisions applicable to that part of the Maroochydore Principal Regional Activity Centre located outside of the PDA. 
 
The purpose and general effect of the amendment is to:-
  • delete the Structure Plan for the Maroochydore Principal Regional Activity Centre and associated mapping from Part 10 (Other Plans) and Schedule 2 (Mapping) of the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014;
  • incorporate relevant provisions relating to the area previously covered by the Maroochydore Principal Regional Activity Centre Structure Plan within the remainder of the planning scheme;
  • amend the zoning or overlays relating to a number of specific sites within the Maroochydore Principal Regional Activity Centre, to better reflect the existing or desired future use or current development approvals;
  • delete the Planning scheme policy for Maroochydore Principal Regional Activity Centre Structure Plan from Schedule 6 (Planning scheme policies) of the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014;
  • undertake all necessary consequential amendments to other parts of the planning scheme for consistency with the above amendments; and
  • make terminology changes to align the amended provisions with the terminology used in the Planning Act 2016 and Planning Regulation 2017.

The amendment commenced on and from 11 June 2018.
