following statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:

3.2. State and Other Statutory Instruments
State Planning Policy 2016
The site is located within a Coastal Hazard Area under the 2014 State Planning Policy mapping.
The Noosa Plan’s coastal hazard provisions do not appropriately reflect the State Planning Policy
2014 and therefore the proposed development requires assessment against the Interim
Development Assessment Provisions. The proposed development aligns with the provisions of
the State Planning Policy 2014.
South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan 2009 - 2031
The site is located within the Urban Footprint area of the SEQ Regional Plan and is consistent
with the Plan’s regional policies and Regulatory Provisions.
