5.2 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.
