               4.     ASSESSMENT
               4.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •    State Planning Policy;
               •    South East Queensland Regional Plan;
               •    Planning Regulation 2017; and
               •    Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020).
               4.2. State Planning Policy
               Part 2 of Noosa Plan states that the Planning Minister is satisfied that the State Planning Policy
               (SPP) dated July 2017 is appropriately integrated in the Noosa Council's planning scheme, except
               the Natural hazards, risk and resilience - coastal hazards - in part.
               A review of the SPP’s state interest indicates that the benchmarks for water quality will apply as
               the application involves a reconfiguration of a lot greater than 2,500m2 in area and seeks to create
               6 or more allotments. The water quality requirements have been suitably addressed through the
               installation of a bio retention basin (Proposed Lot 900) in the northern corner of the site.
               Accordingly, the proposal suitably addresses the requirements of the State Planning Policy.
               4.3. South East Queensland Regional Plan
               The subject site is located within the Urban footprint under the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposed
               subdivision is for an urban purpose and as such is consistent with the intent of the SEQ Regional
               Plan.
               4.4.    Planning Regulation 2017
               A review of the Planning Regulation indicates that the application is not required to be referred to
               the State. It is noted that the site is listed on Environmental Management Register (EMR) due to
               the site’s past history being used for landfill site between 1912 and 1958. Despite this, only MCU
               application’s are required to be referred to the State in accordance with the requirements of
               schedule 10 of the Planning Regulation 2017. Therefore, any future use application will trigger
               refer to the State unless the site is suitably remediated to remove the EMR status.
               4.5. Noosa Plan 2020
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •    Community Facilities Zone Code;
               •    Cooroy Local Plan Code;
               •    Reconfiguring a Lot Code;
               •    Works Codes;
               •    Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code;
               •    Flood Hazard Overlay Code.


               The subject site is located in Cooroy and is zoned Community Facilities. The proposed
               reconfiguration is required to follow a code assessable application process.

                                                                                                     Page 7 of 61
