 VIRIDIAN NOOSA - PROPOSAL REPORT




                    At the time of lodgement, the State Planning Regulatory Provisions in force relevant
                    to the proposed development were as follows:

                    •   South East Queensland         Regional   Plan   2009-2031     State   Planning
                        Regulatory Provisions

                        The South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031 State Planning Regulatory
                        Provisions implement the regional plan for the SEQ region. These State Planning
                        Regulatory Provisions are relevant to the proposed development as the subject
                        site is located within the SEQ region.

                    •   South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory
                        Provisions

                        The South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory
                        Provisions seek to protect koala bushland habitat areas in the SEQ region from
                        the impacts of development.

                        These State Planning Regulatory Provisions are relevant to the proposed
                        development as the subject site is located within a Koala Assessable
                        Development Area to which the South East Queensland Koala Conservation
                        State Planning Regulatory Provisions apply.            However, the proposed
                        development does not involve clearing of native vegetation, new building or
                        extension, gravel extraction or filling and excavation. Accordingly the proposed
                        development is not required to comply with the assessment criteria in Column 2
                        for Assessable Development.



   4.2.5            State Planning Policies
                    A State Planning Policy is an instrument made by the Minister about matters of
                    State interest. As prescribed by Section 314(2)(d) of the SPA, an assessment
                    manager must have regard to State Planning Policies, if they are not identified in
                    the planning scheme as being appropriately reflected in the planning scheme.



   4.3              SEQ Regional Plan
                    The South East Queensland Regional Plan 2005 – 2026 (‘SEQRP 2005’) came into
                    full effect on 30 June 2005. Its primary purpose was to provide a sustainable
                    growth management strategy for the region that articulates strategic direction and
                    certainty that will accommodate a significant increase in population in SEQ to 2026.
                    The SEQRP was reviewed in 2008 resulting in the South East Queensland Regional
                    Plan 2009 – 2031 (‘SEQRP 2009’) being released in July 2009.

                    The site is wholly located within the Urban Footprint (refer to Figure 5 – SEQ
                    Regional Plan).

                    The Urban Footprint includes existing urban areas and greenfield areas suitable for
                    urban development. It defines the limits of urban development up to 2031 and is
                    considered to include sufficient land to satisfy the demand for the full range of
