5.1.2 State Planning Policy

The SPP includes assessment benchmarks that may be applicable where a local government
planning scheme does not adequately reflect the SPP. The assessment benchmarks have been
appropriately considered in preparing this development application and are compliant with the State
Interests.

6.0 Conclusion
This application seeks a minor change to conditions 2 (Setbacks), 27 (Approved Plans), 30 and 32
(Landscaping) of the existing approval TPC2178. The proposed changes comply with the definition
of a minor change under Schedule 2 of the Planning Act 2016 and is not substantially different
development (Schedule 1 of the DA Rules 2017).

The assessment finds the development meets the relevant Specific and Overall Outcomes of the
Noosa Plan, subject to the following grounds of approval:

      •   The high-quality building and landscaping design enhances the coastal character of the area
          which is sympathetic and does not detrimentally impact the locality;

      •   The proposed setbacks are consistent with surrounding development and includes the
          retention and planting of vegetation between buildings; and

      •   The site cover is consistent with multiple dwelling unit developments within the locality and
          provides for an improved building form set within a landscaped setting.

The Assessment Manager’s favourable consideration of the above development application is
therefore recommended. Please contact me if you require any further information and/or clarification
with respect to the above application.
