101.   The proposed development is required to be assessed against Division 7 of the South East Queensland
       Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provisions. The proposed development complies with
       Division 7, as the development:
           Does not result in the clearing of non‐juvenile koala habitat trees, due to the areas associated
            with the development located in a relatively cleared portion of the site and the areas of
            environmental significance contained within a Council reserve.
           Provides safe koala movement opportunities due to the site containing a 5,276m2 environmental
            reserve along the complete width of the lot adjacent to the Noosa National Park.
           The construction phase will not result in clearing of non‐juvenile koala habitat trees and will not
            result in risk of death or injury to koalas.

102.   Accordingly, the proposed development does not compromise the South East Queensland Koala
       Conservation SPRP.

4.3    State Planning Policies
103.   On 2 December 2013, The Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning adopted
       Queensland’s first consolidated State Planning Policy (SPP). The SPP identifies State interests, which are
       to be represented in Local Government planning schemes and regional plans, and will need to be
       considered for land designations regarding community infrastructure. In addition, development
       applications must have regard to all relevant SPP requirements if the Local Government Planning
       Scheme has not appropriately reflected the State Planning Policy.

104.   The Noosa Plan has not appropriately reflected any elements of the State Planning Policy. In accordance
       with section 117(1) of SPA, Part E – ‘Interim development assessment requirements’ of the SPP is
       required to be addressed, and states the following:

          ‘1.) When the development assessment requirements apply to development; and
          2.) What the development application must be assessed against.’

105.   The following SPP mapping areas are located within the site:
                Water Quality
                    o Climatic Regions – Stormwater Management Design Objectives
