3.2   State and Other Statutory Instruments
State Planning Policy
Noosa Plan 2020 is generally consistent with the State Planning Policy July 2017 (SPP) and the
SPP raises no further issues relevant to the proposed development.
South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan
The site is located within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is consistent
with the regional policies of the SEQ Regional Plan.
Planning Regulation 2017
The proposal is for urban activity within the Urban Footprint and is consistent with the assessment
benchmarks contained in the Planning Regulation 2017 for the SEQ Region.
3.3   Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The following codes are most relevant to the development proposal:
•     Tewantin Local Plan Code;
•     Tourist Accommodation Zone Code;
•     Community Activities Code;
•     Business Activities Code; and
•     Works Code.
Locality Provisions
The subject site is located in the Tewantin Locality and is zoned Tourist Accommodation. The
proposed uses are identified as consistent uses with the zone and are required to follow an impact
assessable application process. The pertinent issues arising out of the assessment are discussed
below:
Tewantin Local Plan Code
The Tewantin Local Plan Code contains limited relevant provisions to the proposal, apart from
Performance Outcome PO17 which requires that “…Noosa Lakes Resort at 3 Hilton Terrace
continues to operate as short term resort accommodation for visitors to the Shire”.
The proposed uses are generally consistent and compatible with the intent for the site to continue
to operate as short term resort accommodation for visitors to the shire, with the uses largely
supportive of the site’s tourism focus with the exception of the proposed offices. The proposed
offices do not directly support the site’s intended use.

Outcomes of the Tourist Accommodation Zone Code are provided below. Other relevant
Acceptable Outcome/s and Performance Outcome/s are provided thereafter:

           support short-term accommodation and tourist attractions.
