6.2.4 Regional Plan

The proposed development falls within the south-east Queensland region which is covered under
the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031 (Regional Plan). The Regional Plan covers
Noosa in the north, the New South Wales-Queensland border in the south, and Toowoomba in the
west.

The Regional Plan allocates all land into one of three land use categories; Regional Landscape and
Rural Production Area, Urban Footprint, and Rural Living Area. These categories provide the
spatial context for the regulatory provisions of the Regional Plan. The subject site falls within the
