incorporated in SPP July 2014 and are primarily related to environmental offsets and coastal
hazards.

The SPP consolidates the state's 16 interests across five broad themes as follows:
    • Liveable communities and housing;
    • Economic growth;
    • Environment and heritage;
    • Hazards and safety; and
    • Infrastructure
The SPP is required to be assessed as part of the development application as the SPP has not yet
been integrated into the Noosa Plan. In this instance the proposed development requires
assessment against the ‘interim development assessment provisions’ as outlined in Part E of the
SPP.

In accordance with Part E interim development assessment provisions of the SPP, there are three
(3) codes triggered and addressed in Table 6.2 below.
