The Sunshine Coast Airport Priority Development Area (PDA) was declared on 28 July 2023. The PDA covers almost 460 hectares of land in Marcoola on the Sunshine Coast. The Airport is a key domestic and international gateway to the region.
The Airport has been identified in ShapingSEQ 2023 as major enabling infrastructure to support the northern gateway regional economic cluster and contributes to the continued economic growth of the Sunshine Coast region.
The Interim Land Use Plan (dated July 2024) is in effect and public consultation on the proposed Development Scheme will occur from 26 June 2024 until 8 August 2024. Development in the PDA will support the growth and expansion of the Sunshine Coast Airport
The proposed Development Scheme will provide for uses that can capitalise on the proximity to direct export markets to support the creation of a modern competitive airport precinct servicing staff, passengers, visitors and residents.
