limit its assessment to only the following matters for the code assessable component of the above
application:

(a) applicable codes (other than concurrence agency codes the assessment manager does not
apply);

(b) subject to paragraph (a) - the common material;

(c) _ if they are not identified in the planning scheme as being appropriately reflected in the
planning scheme:

(i) State planning policies, or parts of State planning policies;
(ii) for the planning scheme of a local government in the SEQ region; and
(cd) if the assessment manager is an infrastructure provider - the priority infrastructure plan.
