Town Planning Assessment Report

5.2.       Assessment Benchmarks Related to the Planning Regulation 2017

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
council’s Planning Scheme. These assessment benchmarks may be contained within:
    • the SEQ Regional Plan;
    • 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.

An assessment against the applicable benchmarks contained within the Planning Regulation is provided
below:

SEQ Regional Plan

The subject site is located within the Urban Footprint designation under the SEQ Regional Plan. The
proposed subdivision is consistent with the goals, elements and strategies under the SEQ Regional Plan for
the Urban Footprint designation.

Part E of the State Planning Policy

The current State Planning Policy (SPP) commenced on 3 July 2017. The applicable State interests relating
to development assessment are set out in Part E of the document and are under five broad themes. The
assessment benchmarks of the SPP Part E that are relevant to the development proposal are consistent
with the current provisions of the Planning Scheme and would not warrant further assessment.

Schedule 10 of the Regulation

Pursuant to Schedule 10 Part 9 of the Planning Regulation 2017, referral is triggered for infrastructure related
referrals (land within 25m of a State transport corridor (railway)) as detailed in the table 5.2.2 below
