The Fire Shed. Following on from the flood plain study, Sunshine Coast Regional Council has given permission to Queensland Fire and Rescue Service to begin the process of application to erect a fire shed. The first stage is to apply for a Development Permit for Material Change of Use, with the application required to follow an impact assessment process. This process will take several months.
