       supported in greenfield areas.
       7. All development accessed by common private title is provided with appropriate fire
       hydrant infrastructure and has unimpeded access for emergency service vehicles to

1.2 Planning for economic growth
For the state interest for Economic Growth, the SPP states in part:
       Planning plays a critical role in achieving economic growth. It
       needs to encourage growth in Queensland’s traditionally
       strong primary industries, and construction and tourism
       sectors, while also supporting new and emerging sectors to
       grow and prosper…
This state interest is divided into a number of key areas, relevant to
the Minister’s condition is tourism.

1.2.1 Tourism
The SPP states in part that for tourism:
       Tourism contributes significantly to creating and sustaining jobs, generating export
       revenue, and strengthening local and regional economies. The state’s interest in
       tourism seeks to support these economic opportunities for local communities, regions
       and the state.
       Tourism encompasses a diverse range of development types, sizes and locations, and
       includes accommodation, attractions, facilities, infrastructure and other ancillary
       services. Planning needs to recognise this diversity and be sufficiently flexible to
       support tourism, particularly where it can complement other land use and economic
       activities. Tourism development can complement and co-exist with other land uses.
       Advances in online technology are creating innovative approaches for tourism to co-
       exist with different activities (e.g. glamping, bed and breakfasts, farm gate produce
       sales and guest lodges). Other opportunities for land uses to co-exist include cheese
       tasting or farm-stay activities on an existing dairy farm operation, and ecotourism in a
       natural area to promote outdoor recreation or education regarding the area’s
       environmental values…
The state interests for tourism are:
Tourism planning and development opportunities that are appropriate and sustainable
are supported, and the social, cultural and natural values underpinning tourism
developments are protected.
       1. The findings of state endorsed tourism studies and plans are considered and
       reflected where relevant.
       2. Existing and potential opportunities, localities or areas appropriate for tourism
       development are identified and protected.
       3. The delivery of sustainable tourism development is facilitated where it:
               a. is complementary to and compatible with other land uses, including sensitive
                  land uses
               b. promotes the protection or enhancement of the character, landscape and
                  visual amenity, and the economic, social, cultural and environmental values
                  of the natural and built assets associated with the tourism development.
       4. Appropriate infrastructure to support and enable tourism development is planned for.
                                                                                         pg. 11
