4.1.4   Referral Agencies

A referral agency is an agency that has jurisdiction over a matter in a
development application if referral to that agency is triggered under Schedule
10 of the Planning Regulation 2017 (the Regulation).

The State Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA) within the Department of
State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning (DSDMIP) is the
single referral agency for all development applications where the Chief Executive
of the Planning Act has a jurisdiction as either the Assessment Manager or
referral agency. It is noted that there are still a number of other entities that
exist outside of SARA, that still hold jurisdiction for their own referral agency
triggers. Where referral to one of these agencies is required, SARA are not
involved and referral is undertaken to the agency directly in accordance with the
requirements under the Planning Act.

In accordance with Schedule 10 of the Regulation, the proposed change (other)
application will not require referral to SARA as the proposed access no longer
requires constructing or raising waterway barrier works.


4.2 Local government regulatory framework
In addition to relevant Commonwealth and State government regulatory
requirements, the proposed change is also subject to the local government
regulatory framework. In this instance, the relevant local government regulatory
framework is the Noosa Plan.
