 5.0 State assessment and other matters

 5.1 State interests

 Matters established in the Planning Regulation
 Nil
 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. The application does not trigger assessment against the State Development Assessment
 Provisions for coastal hazards.

 6.0 Conclusion
This application seeks a Development Permit for Material Change of Use Dual Occupancy,
associated Operational Works (Landscaping, Access, Car parking, Earthworks, Stormwater) and
Reconfiguring a lot (1 lot into 3 lots) for community title and Development Permit for Building Works
(Demolition), situated at 9 George Street, Noosaville.
The use is a consistent code assessable development within the Medium Density Residential
Housing Zone. The assessment finds the design meets the relevant Acceptable and Performance
Outcomes. The Planning Act 2016 prescribes that a code assessment must be carried out only —
           (a) against the assessment benchmarks in a categorising instrument for the development (The Noosa Plan 2020); and
           (b) having regard to any matters prescribed by regulation.
Council, after carrying out the assessment—

       (a) must decide to approve the application to the extent the development complies with all of the assessment benchmarks for the
           development; and
       (b) may decide to approve the application even if the development does not comply with some of the assessment benchmarks;
         and
Examples—
                     1         An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply with some of
                               the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks.
                     2         An assessment manager may approve an application for development that does not comply with some of
                               the benchmarks if the decision resolves a conflict between the benchmarks and a referral agency’s
                               response.
       (c) may impose development conditions on an approval; and
       (d) may, to the extent the development does not comply with some or all the assessment benchmarks, decide to refuse the
           application only if compliance cannot be achieved by imposing development conditions.

The assessment finds the development generally complies with all Acceptable Outcomes of the
applicable codes. The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development
application is therefore recommended.
