5.1.2 State Planning Policy

The SPP includes assessment benchmarks that may be applicable where a local government
planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The following assessment benchmarks are
applicable and have been appropriately considered in preparing this development application:

 State interest           Assessment against assessment benchmark
 Coastal Environment      The site is within the State’s wider Erosion Prone Area mapping, however
                          the proposed new works are not located within Council’s identified storm
                          hazard areas.
                          The relevant State Interest seeks for the coastal environment to be
                          protected and enhanced, while supporting opportunities for coastal-
                          dependent development, within compatible urban form along the state’s
                          coastal land.
                          The proposed works are predominantly located on the land side of the
                          existing house and do not impact on the erosion prone areas. The site is
                          also within the urban footprint and meets the relevant provisions to
                          protect the coastal environment.
