6. State Planning Interests

The following is an assessment of how the proposed development addresses the relevant statutory
planning documents.



6.1 Planning Act

The Planning Act 2016 (‘the Act’) is the relevant statutory instrument under which development
applications are assessed. The development application is made in accordance with s.51 of the Act.



6.2 State Planning Policy

The State Planning Policy (SPP) provides the legislative guidance with regard to the Queensland
Government’s policies and matters of state interest for land use for the purposes of planning
development. The SPP applies to development assessment should the local planning instrument
(planning scheme) not appropriately integrate the SPP. Where there is any inconsistency with the
planning scheme the SPP prevails.

Part 2 of the Noosa Plan 2020 states that the “Planning Minister is satisfied that the State Planning
Policy (SPP) dated July 2017 is appropriately integrated in the Noosa Council's planning scheme”.
Therefore, assessment against the SPP is not required.



6.3 Southeast Queensland Regional Plan 2017

The Southeast Queensland Regional Plan 2017 (SEQRP) guides land use and development in the
region. The subject site is located within the Urban Footprint in an existing business complex. The
outcomes contained within the Regional Plan are generally reflected in the Noosa Plan 2020.



6.4 Referral Agencies and State Development Assessment Provisions

Referral matters for this proposal have been assessed against the provisions of Schedule 10 of the
Planning Regulation 2017. A review of the State Assessment Referral Agency’s (SARA) Development
Assessment Mapping System (DAMS) has confirmed there are no matters of State interest.
