6.0 STATE PLANNING ASSESSMENT

6.1 PLANNING REGULATION


The Planning Regulation 2017 (the Regulation) prescribes Assessment Benchmarks that the
application must be carried out against, which are additional or alternative to the Assessment
Benchmarks contained in the local planning instruments.

These Assessment Benchmarks are prescribed as being contained in:
    the SEQ Regional Plan and Part E of the State Planning Policy, to the extent they are not
       appropriately integrated into the Planning Scheme; and
    Schedule 10 of the Regulation.

The SEQ Regional Plan and State Planning Policy are addressed in sections 7.2 and 7.3 below.

A review of Schedule 10 identifies that the development does not comprise prohibited
development but triggers referral agency assessment. Referral is triggered under Schedule 10,
Part 9, Division 4, Subdivision 1, Table 1 – State transport infrastructure (thresholds).

State Code 6: Protection of state transport networks is the applicable assessment benchmark
relevant to the referral trigger. An assessment against the Code has been undertaken and
included in Attachment 1. The assessment confirms that the proposal will not result in any
impact to state transport network and complies with the applicable acceptable outcomes and
performance outcomes of the Code.


6.2 STATE PLANNING POLICY


The State Planning Policy (SPP) outlines the state interests that must be considered in every
planning scheme across Queensland. The SPP only applies to development assessment if the
planning scheme has not yet appropriately integrated the relevant SPP state interest policies.

The Noosa Plan does not reflect the SPP and assessment against the SPP is required.

Part E of the SPP details the state interest policies and assessment benchmarks.
