5.2.5 South East Queensland Regional Plan

The proposed development is for an urban activity situated on a site which is located
within the Urban Footprint and therefore does not require referral to the Office of
Urban Management. The proposal is consistent with the South East Queensland
Regional Plan 2005-2026.

The large lot subject to the proposed subdivision currently has two land designations
as determined under the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is to reconfigure the lot
such that a two new lots will be created; a northern smaller lot which is entirely
designated as urban footprint, and a residual large balance lot which is entirely
within the Rural Production and Regional Landscape Area (RPRLA). Therefore, no
subdivision of land designated as RPRLA is proposed as part of this development
application and the DA is not referable to the DIP as a concurrence agency.

5.3 Local Government Considerations

The proposed development is subject to the provisions of The Noosa Plan 2006. The
relevant components of the Planning Scheme are considered below:

5.3.1 Planning Scheme - The Noosa Plan

The Noosa Plan is an IPA planning scheme which was first adopted in February 2006.
The relevant planning scheme was recently amended in March 2008. The site of the
proposed development is on lots located within the Community Services Zone and
Open Space Conservation Zone of the Eastern Beaches Locality. However, no
development is proposed on land outside of the Community Services Zone. The
proposal for a Residential Use (Multiple Housing Type 3 Retirement and Special
Needs) is considered to be a “consistent use” for the site according to the special
circumstances mentioned in The Noosa Plan.

As well as complying with the key principles of the overall Community Vision for the
former Noosa Shire, the proposed development also meets the needs of the
Economic Sector Vision by providing employment opportunities in the growth
strategy area of “wellness industries”, in this case being aged care, in consideration
of and complementing the site’s existing and surrounding environmental values.

5.3.2 Community Services Zone

The subject land is classified as being within a Community Services Zone of the
Eastern Beaches Locality, as identified in The Noosa Plan.
