8.0          State Planning


8.1          Referral Agencies

             The Planning Act 2016 and the Planning Regulation 2017 provide the legislative
             framework within Queensland for authorities (Local and State Government) to
             assess development applications. Matters that require assessment may be
             delegated to the Department of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning
             (DILGP) for assessment by the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA).


             Following a review of the various referral triggers it is advised that this application
             does not require referral to DILGP for assessment by SARA.


8.2          State Planning Policy

             The State Planning Policy (SPP) outlines the Queensland Government’s policies
             regarding matters of state interest in land use planning and development.         The
             SPP only applies to development assessment if the planning scheme has not yet
             appropriately integrated the SPP. If a discrepancy arises between a local planning
             scheme and a state planning policy, the state planning policy overrides the
             planning scheme.    As outlined within Part 2 of the Noosa Plan, the SPP’s were
             adopted as part of the strategic planning phase of the new scheme. In light of the
             above, an assessment of the proposed development against the SPP is not
             required.
