State and Territory Environmental Planning Instruments and regulations in addition to
Commonwealth regulatory framework.

There are several state government laws and guidelines that apply to the proposed Telstra
facility. These include:

managing the effects of the development on the environment (including managing the
use of the premises).

prepared to form part of a Impact Assessable Material Change of Use application seeking
a development permit under the Noosa Plan 2006. This application will be subject to the
