6.0         State Planning
6.1         Matters of State Interest

            The Planning Act 2016 and the Planning Regulation 2017 provide the
            legislative framework within Queensland for authorities (Local and State
            Government) to assess development applications. Matters that require
            assessment may be delegated to the Department of State Development,
            Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning (DSDMIP) for assessment by the
            State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA).


            Following    a   review   of   the SARA       DA    Online   Mapping System,   it   is
            acknowledged that this application does not require referral to DSDMIP for
            further assessment.


6.2         State Planning Policy

            The State Planning Policy (SPP) outlines the Queensland Government’s
            policies regarding 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 a discrepancy arises
            between a local planning scheme and a state planning policy, the state
            planning policy overrides the planning scheme. As outlined within Part 2 of
            the Noosa Plan 2020, the SPP has been incorporated into the planning
            scheme. In light of the above, an assessment of the proposed development
            against the SPP is not required.
