5.0 State assessment and other matters

5.1 State interests
5.1.1 Matters established in the Planning Regulation

There are no relevant matters applicable to the application.

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 Noosa Plan 2020 appropriately
integrates all SPP provisions, except for Natural Hazards, risk and resilience – coastal hazards – in
part. The application does not trigger assessment for coastal hazards.

6.0 Conclusion
This application seeks a Development Permit for Material change of use for a Landing and
Operational works for a jetty within the Noosa Waters estate waterway situated at 19 The Peninsula,
Noosaville. The proposal is subject to code assessment within the Low Density Residential zone and
fully complies with the relevant codes. The assessment finds the proposal meets the relevant
Acceptable and Performance Outcomes of the Development, and Works Codes.

The Planning Act 2016 prescribes that a code assessment must be carried out only—

         (a)   against the assessment benchmarks in a categorising instrument for the development (The Noosa Plan 2020); and

         (b) having regard to any matters prescribed by regulation.

Council, after carrying out the assessment—

         (a) must decide to approve the application to the extent the development complies with all of the assessment benchmarks for
         the development; and

         (b) may decide to approve the application even if the development does not comply with some of the assessment benchmarks;
         and

         Examples—
                 1           An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply with some of
                             the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks.

                   2         An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply with some of
                             the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks and a referral agency’s
                             response.

         (c) may impose development conditions on an approval; and

         (d) may, to the extent the development does not comply with some or all the assessment benchmarks, decide to refuse the
         application only if compliance cannot be achieved by imposing development conditions.

         Example of a development condition—
                            a development condition that affects the way the development is carried out, or the management of uses
                            or works that are the natural and ordinary consequence of the development, but does not have the effect
                            of changing the type of development applied for


The assessment finds the development generally complies with all Acceptable Outcomes of the
applicable codes. The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development
application is therefore recommended.
