6.0 STATE PLANNING INTERESTS


6.1 PLANNING REGULATION

The Planning Regulation 2017 (the Regulation) prescribes Assessment Benchmarks that the
application must be carried out against, which are additional or alternative to the Assessment
Benchmarks contained in the local planning instruments.

These Assessment Benchmarks are prescribed as being contained in:

        the SEQ Regional Plan and Part E of the State Planning Policy, to the extent they are not
         appropriately integrated into the Planning Scheme; and

        Schedule 10 of the Regulation.

The State Planning Policy and SEQ Regional Plan are addressed in sections 6.2 and 6.3 below.

Section 6.4 discusses potential referral triggers in Schedule 10 of the Planning Regulations 2017
and identifies that the development requires referral to SARA as the site is within 25 metres of a
state-controlled road.



6.2 STATE PLANNING POLICY

The State Planning Policy (SPP) defines the Queensland Government’s policies about matters of
state interest in land use planning and development. The SPP only applies to development
assessment if the planning scheme has not yet appropriately integrated the SPP. If there is a
discrepancy between a local planning scheme and a state planning policy, then what is outlined
in the state planning policy overrides the planning scheme.

The Noosa Plan does not reflect the SPP and assessment against the SPP is required. Part E of the
SPP details the interim development assessment requirements for the following state interests:
