3. Sustainable and affordable living through urban transformation

Sustainable and affordable living through urban transformation and self-contained communities.

Facilitating sustainable and affordable living options through urban transformation and self-contained communities supported by essential infrastructure in our urban footprint.

To do this the Strategy identifies the need to:

  • Continue to refine council’s 2041 growth management strategy with an emphasis on integrating land use and active/public transport outcomes
  • Consult with the community, to develop and implement an urban transformation strategy to support higher density living for the coastal corridor from Maroochydore to Caloundra
  • Create a street-scale demonstration project to showcase sustainability, good urban design and the benefits of medium density living in partnership with government and industry
  • Continue discussions with industry, government and community on housing diversity, design, barriers, innovation and affordable living options.
