7. State Planning Interests

The following is an assessment of how the proposed development addresses the relevant
statutory planning documents.

7.1 Planning Act

The Planning Act 2016 (‘the Act’) is the relevant statutory instrument under which development
applications are assessed. The development application is made in accordance with s.51 of the
Act.

7.2 Referral Agencies and State Development Assessment Provisions

Referral matters for this proposal have been assessed against the provisions of Schedule 10 of the
Planning Regulation 2017.

A review of the State Assessment Referral Agency’s (SARA) DA online mapping system has
confirmed the subject application does not require referral to SARA for work within the Coastal
Management District and an Erosion Prone Area under Schedule 10 Part 17 Table 6.




7.3 State Planning Policy

The relevant sections of the State Planning Policy (July 2017) (SPP) have been incorporated into the
Noosa Pan 2020 except for Natural Hazards, risk and resilience – coastal hazards in part.

Therefore, the proposal is required to be assessed against the Assessment Benchmarks outlined in
the SPP for Natural hazards, risk and resilience for development in an erosion prone area and a
coastal management district.

The proposal fully complies with these benchmarks as it is coastal dependent development and
mitigates the risks to people and property given the substantial setback and the natural
armouring that currently exists and the additional landscaping proposed.




7.4 South East Queensland Regional Plan 2023

The ShapingSEQ 2023 is the principal planning document for managing growth and development
within the South East Queensland region. The subject site is located within the Urban Footprint.
The proposed development is consistent with the regional land use intent, regional policies and
desired regional outcomes and no further assessment is required.
