About the former Caloundra City Plan

The former Caloundra City Plan 2004 was adopted by the former Caloundra City Council and has been superseded by the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014.

The former Caloundra City Council adopted the Caloundra City Plan 2004 on 25 August 2004. It officially commenced on 29 September 2004. On 21 May 2014 the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014 replaced the Caloundra City Plan 2004.

The Caloundra City Plan 2004 was prepared in accordance with the Integrated Planning Act 1997, to manage a high rate of growth without compromising the environmental, economic and community values of Caloundra City.

The Caloundra City Plan 2004 was the first planning scheme for Caloundra City to be prepared under the Integrated Planning Act 1997.
