Tamborine Mountain retirement-housing status unclear in minutes as Scenic Rim advances Amendment No. 8 Council unanimously endorsed an amended planning-scheme draft for a second State Interest Review, but the unconfirmed minutes do not show whether proposed retirement and residential-care changes were added after being excluded from the January 2025 submission. Council: Scenic Rim Regional Council Meeting: 28 October 2026, 9:00 am Recorded status: approved Source status: Draft minutes; recorded wording may change when confirmed. BRIEF According to unconfirmed minutes, Scenic Rim Regional Council unanimously endorsed an amended Planning Scheme Amendment No. 8 for a second State Interest Review and asked the Queensland planning minister to proceed with approval for council to adopt it. The chief executive officer said the version submitted on 6 January 2025 excluded proposed retirement and residential-care changes at Tamborine Mountain, but the minutes do not establish whether those changes were added to the amended draft. KEY FACTS - The unconfirmed minutes record that council unanimously endorsed an amended Draft Amendment No. 8 for a second State Interest Review and requested that the minister proceed with approval for council to adopt it. - Council authorised publication of the public consultation report and notification to submitters about how their submissions were considered. - The chief executive officer said the version submitted for State Interest Review on 6 January 2025 did not include proposed changes encouraging retirement and residential-care facilities at Tamborine Mountain. - The minutes do not establish that Amendment No. 8 has been finally adopted or whether the Tamborine Mountain changes appear in the amended draft. ANALYSIS OF THE RECORD - The unconfirmed minutes record approval of the motion advancing the amendment, not final adoption of the planning-scheme change. - The chief executive officer's response records the January 2025 exclusion, but the supplied minutes do not reproduce the detailed provisions of the amended draft. The current inclusion or exclusion of Item 4 therefore cannot be established from this record. - Endorsement for a second State Interest Review does not establish that the amended draft was subsequently submitted. QUESTIONS FOR FOLLOW-UP REPORTING - Does the amended Draft Amendment No. 8 include Item 4 concerning retirement and residential-care facilities at Tamborine Mountain? - When will the amended draft and public consultation report be published? - What decision will the minister make, and, if approval is given, when would council consider adoption? RECORDED NEXT STEPS - The resolution authorises publication of the draft public consultation report and notification to submitters about how their submissions were considered; the minutes do not confirm completion. - Council endorsed the amended Draft Amendment No. 8 for a second State Interest Review; the minutes do not confirm that submission has occurred. - The minister has been asked to proceed with approval for council to adopt the proposed amendment under the Minister's Guidelines and Rules. Ministerial approval and subsequent council adoption are not established by the supplied record.
