Noosa Council has recently proposed amendments to the Noosa Town Plan 2020 that may result in changes to Tourist Accommodation Zones and the rezoning of selected areas to support future growth. These proposed changes, known as Amendment No. 2, are aimed at improving housing diversity and affordability while supporting sustainable economic development across the region.

As experienced buyers agents in Noosa, we closely monitor planning and zoning updates, as they can significantly influence future property values, development potential and buyer demand. The proposed amendments include expanding housing options, prioritising permanent residents in certain zones, and creating clearer pathways for affordable housing delivery.

Key elements of the proposal include rezoning land to allow for smaller dwellings, key worker accommodation and enhanced mixed-use opportunities within the Noosa Business Centre. These changes may present new opportunities for buyers and investors seeking to position themselves strategically within the evolving Noosa property market.

For those considering property purchases influenced by zoning or planning changes, working with an independent buyers advocate can help assess risk, potential upside and long-term suitability before committing to a purchase.
