4.3          STATE PLANNING INSTRUMENTS

4.3.1        SHAPINGSEQ

ShapingSEQ provides the framework for managing growth, change, land use and development in the SEQ
Region to the year 2041. The site is located within the Urban Footprint defined by ShapingSEQ where
land is considered generally suitable for urban development subject to consideration of State and local
planning constraints and assessment matters. Furthermore, the Noosa Business Centre is identified as a
Major Regional Activity Centre and is expected to serve a sub-regional catchment providing a wide range
of economic uses including retail uses that meet the needs of their sub-regional catchments.
On 3 August 2023, the State Government released the draft ShapingSEQ 2023 Update for consultation.
In this update to ShapingSEQ, the State Government continue to recognise the importance of the Noosa
Business Centre by identifying it once again as a Major Regional Activity Centre.
On this basis the proposed development for a retail shopping centre is therefore considered to be in
keeping with the intents of ShapingSEQ in both its current and draft form.



4.3.2        STATE PLANNING POLICY 2017

The State Planning Policy 2017 (SPP) relates to 17 separate State interests grouped together under 5
broad themes and provides direction to local governments in preparation of planning documents and
assessment of development applications. Where one or more State interest policies are not integrated
into a local government’s planning scheme, the local government must, to the relevant extent, have
regards to Part C (purpose and guiding principles), D (State interests) and E (State interest policies of the
SPP.
The planning minister declared the State Planning Policy 2017 to be appropriately integrated in the
Noosa Scheme, with the exclusion of Natural hazards, risk and resilience - coastal hazards - in part.
It is acknowledged, as per Figure 4, that the abovementioned State interest is not relevant to the site, and
therefore no further assessment is required.
