TLPI 04/2025 Kawana Waters Town Centre

Temporary Local Planning Instrument (TLPI)

On 13 April 2026, Temporary Local Planning Instrument (Kawana Waters Town Centre) No. 4 of 2025 (cited as TLPI 04/2025) came into effect.

TLPI 04/2025 suspends and affects the operation of aspects of the Sunshine Coast Planning Scheme 2014, in so far as it relates to Development Control Plan 1 - Kawana Waters, to fast-track housing supply and delivery of the Birtinya Town Centre.

The purpose of the Temporary Local Planning Instrument is to:

  • provide for the reallocation of unutilised population threshold quotas from fully developed parts of the Development Control Plan 1 area to the Town Centre, 
  • increase building heights in the Town Centre (Detailed Planning Area 13) and Birtinya Island (Detailed Planning Area 11),
  • introduce the “Green Spine”, a new continuous open space and active transport corridor through the Town Centre, 
  • provide for a hotel on Council owned land at Eastbank (Detailed Planning Area 1), opposite Sunshine Coast Stadium, and
  • adjust the planning controls, including changes to design guidelines to align with the revised Town Centre layout and vision.

The Temporary Local Planning Instrument applies to land within Development Control Plan 1 - Kawana Waters identified on the map in Appendix A of the Temporary Local Planning Instrument.
