New
town plan release imminent
by Joanna Jones
A REVISED town plan is currently being tabled in council which will be released for
public consumption within the next few months.
The plan which will replace and update the current Maroochy Shire town plan which is 15
years old, has been the subject of much speculation and gossip.
However, although not yet finalised, Cr Geoff Littler said that a lot of the
speculation about the restrictiveness and impractical limitations contained within the
plan, is just rumour without foundation.
"The plan is still being worked on and will contain some fairly broad motherhood
type statements about construction keeping in harmony with climatic, environmental and
diverse agricultural needs."
The new town plan will be part of the Integrated Planning Act and will have precincts
instead of zones as part of its makeup.
