5.1.2 State Planning Policy

The SPP includes assessment benchmarks that may be applicable where a local government
planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The Noosa Plan 2020 appropriately
integrates all SPP provisions, except for Natural Hazards, risk and resilience – coastal hazards – in
part.

Development in the erosion prone area, as shown on the SPP interactive mapping system, will be
subject to assessment against the assessment benchmarks – natural hazards, risk and resilience
within the State Planning Policy. An assessment is provided below.

 (Coastal)                   not located within a coastal management district. The development is
                             located away from the coast so as to not cause a risk to people and
                             property.


6.0 Conclusion
This application seeks a change to the existing approval for a dwelling in the sand dune problem
area situated at 40 Arakoon Cres, Sunshine Beach. Although previously assessed under the
Superseded Strategic Plan 1996 - the proposed development would be code assessable against
The Noosa Plan 2020. The development has been assessed against The Noosa Plan 2020 as part
of the weighting exercise of S.81 of the Planning Act and found to generally meet the relevant
Performance and Overall Outcomes.

The proposed changes are in keeping with the existing approval and the further assessment finds
the development meets all Performance Outcomes of the applicable codes. The Assessment
Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is therefore
recommended.
