Planning Regulation 2017.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The subject site is zoned Major Centre and is included in Business Park Precinct – 5A under the

Accordingly, the application must be publicly notified for comment from the community and
assessed against the whole of Noosa Plan 2020 to the extent the provisions are relevant to the
development.
