PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                        8 OCTOBER 2019


South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan
The site is located within the Urban Footprint area of the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is
consistent with the regional policies of the SEQ Regional Plan.
Planning Regulation 2017
The following assessment benchmark from the Planning Regulation 2017 applies to the
application:
     SEQ Development Area
The proposal is for urban activity within the Urban Footprint and is consistent with the
assessment benchmarks contained in the Planning Regulation 2017 for the SEQ Region.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The application must be assessed against each of the following codes to the extent they are
relevant to the development:
     Noosaville Locality Code
     Business Uses Code
     Residential Uses Code (ancillary dwelling unit only)
     Landscaping Code
     Works Codes
Locality Provisions
The subject site is located in the Noosaville Locality and is zoned Shire Business Centre
(Precinct E4). The proposal is for consistent uses within the zone and is required to follow a code
assessable application process. The Shire Business Centre provides for business and
employment needs by providing a range of Business Uses. Precinct E4 is identified as an
employment precinct and is intended to provide for expansion of the Noosa industrial estate and
link between the industrial estate and business uses in the centre. Although the proposed uses
are not industrial, the proposed uses provide a reasonable transition between the two areas and
are compatible with the existing pattern of uses in the centre with offices opposite the site.
The proposal includes a number of tenancies for commercial use and will provide a number of
employment opportunities for the Shire.
