• If the Decision Notice approves the request a planning approval may or may not be required depending on the development proposal and whether it required planning approval under the superseded Noosa Plan 2020 Amendment 1 version.
• The currency period of the planning approval is generally six years from the date of the Decision Notice to commence the use, however dwelling housing approvals are for two years.
