Town Planning Assessment Report · MCU25/0020

5.4 State Referral

Referral to the State Assessment Referral Agency (SARA) is not considered to apply at this stage. We
welcome discussion with Council about any potential referral triggers as part of their assessment.

5.5 State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP)

State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP) includes a series of benchmarks in which SARA will
assess an application against. SDAP assessment is not currently required.

5.6 Schedules 10 and 11 of the Planning Regulation

A review of Schedule 10 of the Planning Regulation confirms that the proposed development is not
prohibited development and no referral to State Assessment Referral Agency (SARA) is required. A review
of Schedule 11 of the Planning Regulation provides assessment benchmarks in relation to koala habitat in
the SEQ Region where for development on premises in a koala priority area not interfering with koala
habitat and for development in an identified koala broad-hectare area. The site is not mapped as
containing koala habitat or broad hectare area and the assessment benchmarks are therefore not
applicable to this development.
