5.2 State Planning Policy
The SPP includes assessment benchmarks that may be applicable where a local government
planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The Noosa Plan 2020 appropriately
integrates all SPP provisions, except for Natural Hazards, risk and resilience – coastal hazards – in
part.

Development in the erosion prone area, as shown on the SPP interactive mapping system as shown
in Figure 6 below.

Therefore, the proposal is subject to assessment against the assessment benchmarks – natural
hazards, risk and resilience within the State Planning Policy.

While the site is within a erosion prone area, it is not within coastal management district, therefore
is subject to Assessment benchmark4, 5, 6, and 7 of the natural hazards, risks and resilience SPP
which an assessment is provided below.
