Davis Rd Cootharaba DA Planning Report

for all development applications where the Chief Executive of SPA has a jurisdiction as either the
Assessment Manager or referral agency. While DSDIP is responsible for a number of referral
agency triggers now that the SARA provisions have commenced, there are still a number of other
entities that exist outside of SARA, that still hold jurisdiction for their own referral agency triggers.

In accordance with Schedule 7 of the Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009 (SP Reg), no Referral
Agencies are triggered for the application.


6.2.2 State Development Assessment Provisions

The Queensland State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP) set out the matters of interest
to the State for development assessment, where the Chief Executive administering SPA (that, is
the Director-General of DSDIP), is responsible for assessing development applications as either
Assessment Manager or Referral Agency.

The SDAP is prescribed as a statutory instrument under SPA and contains the matters the Chief
Executive of SPA may have regard to in development assessment, bounded by the decision-
making rules outlined in SPA.

As the application does not trigger assessment by SARA, the SDAP modules are not required to be
assessed as part of this application.


6.2.3 State Planning Policy

The State Planning Policy (SPP) defines the Queensland Government’s approach to matters of
state interest in land use planning and development. The SPP identifies the State's interests in
planning and development and how they must be dealt with in planning schemes, council
development assessment processes and in designating land for community infrastructure.

The single SPP came into effect on 2 December 2013 and replaces the multiple policies previously
in existence. It provides a consolidated planning policy that centralises all State interests through
the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning (DSDIP).

The SPP consolidates the state's 16 interests across five broad themes as follows:
    • Liveable communities and housing;
    • Economic growth;
    • Environment and heritage;
    • Hazards and safety; and
    • Infrastructure
As the SPP has not been reflected in The Noosa Plan 2009 therefore the proposed development
requires assessment against the ‘interim development assessment provisions’ as outlined in Part E
of the SPP.

In accordance with Part E interim development assessment provisions of the SPP, there are three
(3) codes triggered and addressed in Table 6.2 below.
