3.   ASSESSMENT
3.1. Superseded Planning Scheme Request
Under the Planning Act 2016 a person may within 1 year after commencement of the Noosa Plan
2020, make a SPS request.
A SPS request is a written request to Council:
      To accept, assess and decide a development application under a superseded planning
       scheme; or
      To apply a superseded planning scheme to a development that was accepted development
       (no approval required).
Under the Planning Regulation 2017, Council must decide whether or not to agree to a SPS request
within 30 business days after the request is received, which may be extended where the applicant
agrees in writing before the period ends. If no decision is made by Council within the required time
frame, the Council is taken to have agreed to the SPS request.
If the Council decides to agree or is taken to have agreed to the request, the superseded planning
application must be made within 6 months to Council or where the proposal is accepted development
under the SPS commence the use within 6 years of the Decision Notice being given.
3.2. Planning Schemes
The site is located in the Mary River Catchment Locality and is zoned Semi-Attached Housing under
the SPS. Under the SPS reconfiguration of a lot requires a code assessable development
application.
The subject site is also identified by the SPS’s Bushfire Hazard Overlay and Flood Hazard Overlay.
An application to reconfigure the lot would be required to address the requirements associated with
these overlays and the Engineering Works Codes, including the Water Sensitive Design Code.
Notably the proposal does not trigger the Biodiversity Overlay Code.
