                                                                                                                                   Including amendments to 3 July 2017
                                                                                                                  The Noosa Plan
2.6.4    Determining the requirements for accepted development and assessment
         benchmarks and other matters for assessable development

         a)           Accepted development does not require a development approval and is not subject
                      to assessment benchmarks. Notwithstanding this, certain requirements may apply
                      to some types of development for it to be accepted development. Where
                      nominated in the tables of assessment, accepted development must comply with
                      the requirements identified as acceptable solutions in the relevant parts of the
                      applicable code(s) as identified in the relevant column.

         b)          Accepted development that does not comply with one or more of the nominated
                     acceptable solutions in the relevant parts of the applicable code(s) becomes code
                     assessable development unless otherwise specified.

         c)          The following rules apply in determining assessment benchmarks for each level of
                     assessment.

         d)          Code assessable development:

                      i. is to be assessed against all the assessment benchmarks identified in the
                         assessment benchmarks column;

                     ii.       that occurs as a result of development becoming code assessable pursuant to
                               sub-section (b) to this subheading 2.6.4 must:

                                   a. be assessed against the assessment benchmarks for the
                                      development application, limited to the subject matter of the required
                                      acceptable solutions that were not complied with or were not capable
                                      of being complied with under sub-section (b) to this subheading 2.6.4;

                                   b. comply with all required probable solutions identified in sub-section (a)
                                      to this subheading 2.6.4 other than those mentioned in sub-section (b)
                                      to this subheading 2.6.4;

                     iii.     that complies with:

                                   a. the overall outcomes of the code complies with the code; and

                                   b. the probable solutions complies with the overall and specific
                                      outcomes of the code;

                     iv.       is to be assessed against any assessment benchmarks for the development
                               identified in schedule 11 of the Planning Regulation 2017.
         Editor’s note—schedule 11 of the Regulation also identifies the matters that code assessment must
         have regard to.

        e)    Impact assessable development:

               i.           is to be assessed against the identified assessment benchmarks in the
                            assessment benchmarks column (where relevant);

              ii.       assessment is to have regard to the whole of the planning scheme, to the extent
                        relevant;

              iii.      is to be assessed against any assessment benchmarks for the development
                        identified in schedule 12 of the Planning Regulation 2017.
         Note—The first row of each table of assessment is to be checked to confirm if there are
         assessment benchmarks that commonly apply to general scenarios in the zone, local plan or
         overlay.
