    Division 1—Relationship to (Repealed) Integrated Planning Act1

1.1          Purpose of planning scheme

1.1.1        In accordance with the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA), the local government for
             Noosa Shire prepared this planning scheme as a framework for managing development
                                                          2
             in a way that advances the purpose of the IPA by—

             a)      identifying assessable, self-assessable and exempt development;

             b)      identifying outcomes sought to be achieved in the local government area as the
                     context for assessing development; and

             c)      identifying the criteria for assessment of development that is not exempt
                     development.

1.1.2        The planning scheme was amended for alignment with the Planning Act 2016 (the Act) by
             the Minister’s rules under section 293 of the Act on 3 July 2017.

             Editor’s note–The planning scheme has been amended to align only to the extent of matters
             dealing with categories of development and assessment as provided in the Planning Act 2016. In
             accordance with section 16(3) of the Act, the regulated requirements (to the extent chosen) apply to
             the planning scheme to the extent of any inconsistency.


1.2          Planning scheme functions as part of IDAS 3
             The planning scheme functions as part of IDAS and must be read together with the IPA
             and subsequent planning legislation.

      The Integrated Planning Act 1997 was repealed in 2009 and replaced by the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 which was
      subsequently repealed and replaced with the Planning Act 2016. This Planning Scheme was developed under the
      Integrated Planning Act but remains valid under subsequent planning legislation.

      Under IPA, section 1.2.1, the purpose of the IPA is to seek to achieve ecological sustainability by (a) coordinating and
      integrating planning at the local, regional and State levels; and (b) managing the process by which development
      occurs; and (c) managing the effects of development on the environment (including managing the use of premises).

      IDAS—integrated development assessment system—is the system detailed in chapter 3 of the IPA for integrating State
      and local government assessment processes for development.
