Development Assessment Report

 PROJECT URBAN – 19304                                                                November 2020


7.0 STATE PLANNING INTERESTS
The Planning Regulation 2017 sets out assessment benchmarks for Code Assessable development
applications that are additional or alternative to assessment benchmarks contained within local
planning instruments. These assessment benchmarks are prescribed to be located in:

    •   The SEQ Regional Plan and Part E of the State Planning Policy, to the extent that that are
        not appropriately integrated into the Planning Scheme; and

    •   Schedules 10 and 11 of the Planning Regulation 2017.

The SEQ Regional Plan, State Planning Policy and Planning Regulation are addressed in sections
7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 below.

7.1 SOUTH EAST QUEENSLAND REGIONAL PLAN

Under the South East Queensland Regional Plan (Regional Plan), the subject site is located in the
Urban Footprint. As the application seeks approval for an urban use on land zoned for that purpose
in the Noosa Plan 2020, the proposal is consistent with the Regional Plan and therefore no further
assessment against it is required.

7.2 STATE PLANNING POLICY

The State Planning Policy (SPP) defines the Queensland Government’s policies about matters of
state interest in land use planning and development. The SPP only applies to development
assessment if the Planning Scheme has not yet appropriately integrated the SPP. If there is a
discrepancy between a local planning scheme and a SPP, then what is outlined in the SPP overrides
the Planning scheme.

The Noosa Plan 2020 came into effect on 31 July 2020. Under section 2.1 of the Plan, it is specified
that it appropriately integrates all matters in the SPP, with the exception of Coastal Hazards.

As the subject site is not impacted by Coastal Hazards and the Noosa Plan came into effect only
recently, it is determined that it reflects the SPP and accordingly, no further assessment has been
undertaken against the SPP.

7.3 REFERRAL

Schedule 10 of the Planning Regulation 2017 sets out referral triggers to the State Assessment and
Referral Agency (SARA) that are additional to local planning assessment.

From review of Schedule 10 of the Planning Regulation 2017 and the SARA mapping, it has been
determined that the proposed development does not trigger referral to SARA.
