On 18 December 2009 the Palmview Master Planned Area (

Key development targets |
|
|---|---|
| Area of master planned area | Approximately 926 hectares |
| Additional dwellings | Approximately 8,000 dwellings |
| Additional population | Approximately 17,000 people |
| Number of lots dedicated for affordable housing | Approximately 500 dwellings |
The Palmview Master Planned Area was declared to ensure future growth in the area occurs in a coordinated and efficient way to meet the growing population in South East Queensland (SEQ) and the future housing needs of the Sunshine Coast community.
The intent of the Palmview Master Planned Area is to create a transit orientated community that offers affordable living, a range of employment opportunities and promotes integrated, compact and ecologically sustainable neighbourhoods.
Relationship to the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009 - 2031
Palmview is recognised in the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009 - 2031 as a regional development area for residential and employment growth. The Palmview Master Planned Area plays a key role in delivering the identified housing, employment and population targets for the Sunshine Coast Regional Council area.
Previous planning
Palmview was declared a major development area on 26 October 2006 for the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2005 - 2026.
In 2007, the major development area (
380 KB) provisions were rescinded as a result of the introduction of the Urban Land Development Authority Act 2007. Consequently an amendment was made to the Integrated Planning Act 1997 that recognised all existing major development areas as identified master planned areas.
In early 2009, the Sunshine Coast Regional Council commenced the structure planning process under the major development area requirements. A Palmview Position Paper was released for public input during February to March 2009. The Palmview Position Paper outlined Sunshine Coast Regional Council's vision, strategic intent and planning framework for the future development and management of the area.
The Palmview Master Planned Area Declaration on 18 December 2009 rescinded the previous major development area. The work undertaken prior to 18 December 2009 was carried forward to take advantage of previous community consultation and planning decisions.
