5.0 STATE PLANNING INTERESTS

5.1 PLANNING REGULATION


The Planning Regulation 2017 (the Regulation) prescribes Assessment Benchmarks that the
application must be carried out against, which are additional or alternative to the Assessment
Benchmarks contained in the local planning instruments.

These Assessment Benchmarks are prescribed as being contained in:

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

    •   Schedule 10 of the Regulation.

The SEQ Regional Plan and State Planning Policy are addressed in sections 5.2 and 5.3 below.

A review of Schedule 10 identifies that the development does not trigger referral.


5.2 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 state planning policy, then what is outlined in
the state planning policy overrides the planning scheme.

The Noosa Plan does not reflect the SPP and assessment against the SPP is required. Part E of the
SPP details the interim development assessment requirements for the following state interests:
