11 Robert St - Planning Report

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 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) DA online
mapping system has confirmed the following Matters of State interest.



6.3 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 SPP Natural hazards, risks and resilience is partly
integrated. However, no further assessment against is required as the subject site is not located in
a coastal management district.



6.4 South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017

The South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017 (SEQRP) guides land use and development in the
region. The subject land is located inside the Urban Footprint of the SEQRP. As detailed within this
report above, the proposed development is consistent with the intent of the urban footprint policies
and desired outcomes for the SEQRP.
