7. Noosa Plan 2020 Considerations

7.1 Level of Assessment

Pursuant to Table of Development Assessment 5.5.13 of the planning scheme the application
requires Impact assessment because Medium Impact Industry is not listed in the Use column and
therefore is an inconsistent use in the Rural zone.

The application is therefore assessed against the relevant Strategic Outcomes and codes of the
planning scheme as outlined below.
