6.0 STATE PLANNING INTERESTS
6.1 STATE PLANNING REGULATORY PROVISIONS

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 the
local planning instruments.

These Assessment Benchmarks are prescribed as being contained in:

    •    The SEQ Regional Plan, to the extent it is not appropriately integrated into the Planning Scheme;
    •    Part E of the State Planning Policy, to the extent it is not appropriately integrated into the Planning
         Scheme;
    •    Schedule 10 of the Regulation; and
    •    Schedule 11 of the Regulation.

An assessment of the relevant provisions contained in the above planning instruments and the schedules of
the Regulation are provided in the following sections of this report.

6.2 SOUTH EAST QUEENSLAND REGIONAL PLAN 2017

The site is subject to the South East Queensland Regional Plan. Section 2.2 of the Noosa Plan 2020 confirms
that the planning scheme appropriately advances the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017 and as such,
no further assessment against this document has been undertaken.

6.3 STATE PLANNING POLICY

The State Planning Policy (SPP) defines the Queensland Government’s policies about matters of state interest
in land use planning and development. The SPP only applies to development assessment if the Planning
Scheme has not yet appropriately integrated the SPP. If there is a discrepancy between a local planning
scheme and a SPP, then what is outlined in the SPP overrides the Planning scheme.

The Noosa Plan 2020 came into effect on 31 July 2020. Under section 2.1 of the Plan, it is specified that it
appropriately integrates all matters in the SPP, with the exception of Coastal Hazards.

As the subject site is not impacted by Coastal Hazards, those elements of the SPP that are relevant to this
development are appropriately addressed in the current Noosa Plan and as such, no further assessment has
been undertaken against the SPP.

6.4 SCHEDULE 10 OF THE REGULATION

A review of Schedule 10 identifies that the development does not comprise prohibited development and
does not trigger referral agency assessment.

6.5 SCHEDULE 11 OF THE REGULATION

Schedule 11 provides assessment benchmarks for development in koala priority areas not interfering with
koala habitat and development in koala broad-hectare areas. Schedule 11 does not apply to the proposed
development.
