State Planning Provisions

The proposed development is to be assessed under section 341 of the SPA, including:
    State Planning Regulatory Provisions (SPRP);
    South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009-2031 (SEQRP); and
    State Planning Policy, April 2016 (SPP).

SEQ Regional Plan & State Planning Regulatory Provisions

The subject land is located within the Urban Footprint under the South East Queensland Regional Plan
2009-2031 (SEQRP). The proposed development is consistent with the intent for development located
in the Urban Footprint and does not require referral to SARA under the associated Regulatory
Provisions.

The subject land is not located within the SEQ Koala Conservation area under the SEQ Koala
Conservation Plan.

State Planning Policy

The Noosa Plan 2006 (planning scheme) commenced in February 2006 and predates the current State
Planning Policy (SPP). An assessment is therefore required against Part E, Interim Development
Assessment Provisions of the SPP.

With respect to the SPP, the subject land is affected by the following designations under the interactive
mapping provided by the Department of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning (DILGP):
    Potentially a flood hazard area, subject to local government mapping;
    Water Quality – stormwater management.

While the subject land is designated as being potentially located in a flood hazard area, the land is
not affected by flooding under the Natural Hazards Overlay of the Noosa Plan 2006. Consequently,
the matter of flooding is not relevant to the assessment.

The subject land has as an area greater than 2,500m² with more than 25% likely to be sealed.
Development is to minimise adverse impacts on the environmental values of receiving waters;
however the proposed extensions and alterations to the Church are already located over a developed
area of the subject land, currently occupied by the existing Church and the associated sealed access
and manoeuvring areas. While the proposed development increases the roof area of buildings, it does
not increase the amount of sealed pavement area. Consequently, the matter of impact upon water
quality should not be of any real concern.
