Superseded Planning Schemes

Noosa Plan 2020 was originally adopted in July 2020 and has since undergone three amendments:

• an administrative amendment that commenced on 25 September 2020 (Amendment No. 1);
• a major amendment that commenced on 26 September 2025 (Amendment No. 2); and
• a minor amendment that commenced on 20 March 2026 (Amendment No. 3).

Under the Planning Act 2016, applicants may request that a development application be assessed under the version of the planning scheme that applied immediately before the current scheme. This is referred to as a Superseded Planning Scheme Request and may be made for up to 12 months after the new scheme takes effect. In this context:

• Current Scheme: Noosa Plan 2020 – Amendment 3 (20 March 2026);
• Superseded Schemes:
• • Noosa Plan 2020 – Amendment 1 (25 September 2020)
  • Noosa Plan 2020 – Amendment 2 (26 September 2025)

A superseded planning scheme request must be made within one year of the new scheme taking effect, accordingly:

• Under Noosa Plan 2020 – Amendment 1, requests must be made by 26 September 2026;
• Under Noosa Plan 2020 – Amendment 2, requests must be made by 20 March 2027.

Refer to Fact Sheet 20: Superseded Planning Scheme Requests for further information on the process and requirements of lodging a superseded planning scheme request.
