Public consultation of the draft SEQ Regional Plan commenced last week and ends on 20 September 2023.
The Sunshine Coast has experienced unparalleled levels of growth over the past decade. There are significant concerns about the ability of the draft regional plan to adequately cater for the region’s forecasted growth to 2046. Early advocacy is key to ensuring your development objectives are considered in the amendments to the regional plan.
The scarcity of appropriately zoned land on the Sunshine Coast is well understood and is a significant factor that is driving a lack of housing supply and affordability. There is, for example, little remaining land within the Urban Footprint north of the Maroochy River or at the edges of most hinterland towns. Likewise, the ability to accommodate a significant amount of growth through infill development in existing urban areas across the Sunshine Coast, is highly questionable due to escalating land and construction costs.
A successful property strategy is one which anticipates various scenarios that can help or hinder a particular property development goal. Project Urban’s focus is on early advocacy to achieve cost-effective outcomes, as a result of well-considered strategies.
For more information about how Project Urban can assist with achieving your property outcomes in relation to the draft SEQ Regional Plan, please contact Mick Sheppard – Director, Planning on 5443 2844.
