Noosa Shire Council has strict planning controls for fencing in character zones, front fencing in Noosa Heads and Noosaville character zones may require development approval and must complement the streetscape character. Sunshine Coast's high termite pressure means treated pine or steel and aluminium fencing are preferred for long-term durability.
