1.2   Application Includes Grounds to Support
The application material recognises that the proposal must demonstrate sufficient grounds to
gain approval to justify the development’s conflicts with relevant planning instruments. 34 items
are listed by the applicant in support of the development. Further details and discussion of the
grounds are included in Section 6.6 of this report.

2     PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OVERRIDING LOCAL PLANNING SCHEMES
Division 2 of the Sustainable Planning Act provides for the granting of a preliminary approval. A
preliminary approval, if given, would approve the Noosa on Weyba development for urban use
but would not authorise development to proceed without further development permits being
issued such as: reconfiguring a lot applications to create the precincts/ residential lots; material
change of use applications for the higher density residential attached housing, retirement and
commercial uses; and various operational works and building approvals.

Section 242 provides for the type of preliminary approval sought by the applicant, which would
override the local planning scheme provisions to the extent detailed in the application. An
approval would consent to the changes in land use and apply differing codes and levels of
assessment to future development.

The Act does not require a preliminary approval for development but they commonly provide for
an orderly assessment framework for large staged developments, such as proposed.
