CHAP deadline extended to November

Noosa Council has negotiated an extension of time to finalise its Coastal Hazard Adaptation Plan (CHAP) until November this year.

CEO Brett de Chastel said the extension would allow more time to consult with the community on concerns they have raised with the CHAP.

Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart is pleased to have secured the additional time.

“We were given until late May, but the November date now allows us to continue to further consult the community to explore workable solutions,” she said.

“It’s important to clarify that this plan will act as a guide to Council’s response to coastal erosion risks in the shire.

“The CHAP will not specify how individual properties can and can’t be developed.”
