Standard Drawings

The Standard Drawings on this website have been adopted by Council for use within the Noosa local government area. Please contact Council if you wish to use a different revision than those on this website.

Addendums to the Standard Drawings must be adhered to meeting the requirements of the Noosa Planning Scheme Policies and Noosa Design Principles:

  • Support Noosa's environmental objectives with plantings that enhance biodiversity.
  • Provide a transport network that caters to the needs of the community and blends into the environment rather than dominating it.
  • Design for pedestrians, cyclists and buses in all road corridor improvements.
  • Design to cater for the aged and disabled community.
