5.1.4 Statutory Considerations for Assessable Development

           The application is identified as Accepted Development, Subject to Requirements, meaning
           that an application is not required where the developments are able to satisfy the relevant
           requirements for Accepted Development. However, in this instance, the proposals are not
           able to satisfy all requirements relating to the Rural Zone Code and the Low Density Housing
           Code. Consequently, a Code Assessable application is required.

           As the application is subject to Code Assessment, in deciding the application pursuant to s60
           of the Planning Act 2016, the Council, as Assessment Manager, can only have regard to the
           matters established in the relevant planning assessment benchmarks. Pursuant to section
           5.3.3 (4) of the Noosa Plan, the assessment benchmarks are limited to the subject matter of
           the required acceptable outcomes that are not complied with or are not capable of being
           complied with.

           This assessment is further discussed in Section 6.0 of this report and a detailed assessment
           of the proposed development against the assessment benchmarks is provided at Appendix
           3.

5.1.5 State Planning Policy

           It is understood that the Minister has identified that the State Planning Policy has been
           appropriately integrated into in the Noosa Plan 2020 and consequently no further
           assessment is required in this instance.

5.1.6 Regional Plan

           The application site is identified in the Regional Landscape and Rural Production Area of the
           SEQ Regional Plan. Consistent with the State Planning Policies, it is understood that the
           Planning Scheme has been determined to appropriately advance the Regional Plan and, on
           that basis no further assessment is required in this instance.

5.1.7 Referral Agencies

           There are no referral agencies identified in respect of this application.

5.1.8 State Development Assessment Provisions

           As there are no referral agencies for the application, no State Development Assessment
           Provisions Apply to the assessment.
