               2.     ASSESSMENT
               2.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •      State Planning Policy;
               •      South East Queensland Regional Plan;
               •      Planning Regulation 2017; and
               •      Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020).
               2.2. Noosa Plan 2020
               The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to this development:
               •      Earthworks, Water Quality and Drainage Works Codes;
               •      Landslide Hazzard Overlay Code
               The subject site is in Ridgewood and is zoned Rural. The proposed use is identified as a consistent
               use within the zone and is required to follow a code assessable application process.
               The application has been found to generally comply with all applicable statutory instruments. The
               pertinent issues arising out of the assessment are discussed below:


               Earthworks
               The proposed earthworks are for the purpose of installing water tanks. Cuts greater than 1.5m are
               proposed due to the natural sloping landform of the site. The works do not interfere with existing
               vegetation or property and have been certified by an RPEQ.




                                                                                                    Page 3 of 10
