                                                                      DANYA COOK TOWN PLANNING


In accordance with Part 2 - State Planning Provisions, Section 2.1 - State Planning Policy of the Noosa Plan 2020, the State Planning
Policy is identified as being reflected in the Planning Scheme, except for the Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience - Coastal Hazards,
which is reflected in part.

Where state interests are not integrated into the Planning Scheme, the applicable assessment benchmarks, relevant guiding
principles, state interest statements, and state interest policies contained in the State Planning Policy applies to development.

In accordance with Section 8(4)(a) of the Planning Act 2016, the State Planning Policy applies to the extent of any inconsistency.

Following a review of the State Planning Policy 2017 and the Noosa Plan 2020, it is determined that the proposed development
does not conflict with the intent of the State Planning Policy 2017, and as such, an assessment against the State Planning Policy is
not necessary.

6.3       Planning Regulation 2017

A review of the Development Assessment Mapping identifies the following state interests relevant to the land:

Development Assessment Mapping

      •   Fish Habitat Areas: - Queensland Waterways for Waterway Barrier Works (Low Order Waterway).
      •   Water Resources: - Water Resource Planning Area Boundaries.
      •   Native Vegetation Clearing: - Category B Area that is a Least Concern Regional Ecosystem.
      •   Koala Habitat in South East Queensland Region: - Koala Habitat Area (Core Koala Habitat).

Following a review of the State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA) Development Assessment Mapping and Schedule 10 of the
Planning Regulation 2017, it is determined that this application does not require referral to SARA for matters relating to Native
Vegetation Clearing or Koala Habitat, as the proposed development avoids clearing and impacts on native vegetation, by way of
mapped native vegetation being wholly contained within proposed Lot 6 and the location of the proposed new boundary not
resulting in “as of right” opportunity to clear native vegetation, and the development not interfering with koala habitat.
