3.      ASSESSMENT
3.1     Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
      State Planning Policy;
      South East Queensland Regional Plan;
      Planning Regulation 2017;
      The Noosa Plan
3.2     State and Other Statutory Instruments
State Planning Policy
The Noosa Plan is generally consistent with the State Planning Policy 2017 (SPP) and the SPP
raises no further issues relevant to the proposal.
South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan
The subject site is located within the Urban Footprint in the SEQ Regional Plan.
Planning Regulation 2017
The application is consistent with the assessment benchmarks and the regulatory provisions
contained within the Planning Regulation 2017.
3.3     Statutory Instruments - Planning Scheme
The subject site is located in the Attached Housing zone of the Noosaville Locality. The proposed
uses are identified as an inconsistent use within the zone and required to follow an impact
assessment application process. The proposal is therefore subject to assessment against the
whole of the Planning Scheme with the following provisions of the Noosa Plan relevant to the
assessment.
Strategic Framework
Section 1.7.9 Industrial Development identifies the vision for industrial development to be located
primarily in two main areas:
a)      Industrial growth is focused on two main areas–-
        i.    Noosaville’s industrial estate which is the largest concentration of industrial
              businesses in Noosa Shire and includes a high proportion of service industries
              catering particularly to the coastal populations; and
        ii.   Cooroy’s industrial estate which can accommodate considerable industrial growth and
              offers a moderate level of access to the Bruce Highway and the North Coast rail line.
Desired Environmental Outcomes
The following Desired Environmental Outcomes are also relevant:
3.1.3 e) Industrial Business Uses
Industrial uses and extractive and mining uses contribute to the local economy and employment
sector by—
(i)     providing suitable levels of service and employment to the community;
(iii)   being predominantly low key, clean and service-orientated;
(ix)    industrial uses being of a relatively small scale whist still being a significant contributor to
        the local economy, with a product market that will range from local to international scale;
