3.    ASSESSMENT
3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
•     State Planning Policy;
•     South East Queensland Regional Plan;
•     Planning Regulation 2017;
•     Noosa Plan 2020.
3.2. State and Other Statutory Instruments
State Planning Policy
The Noosa Plan 2020 is generally consistent with the State Planning Policy July 2017 (SPP) and
the SPP raises no further issues relevant to the proposed development.
South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan
The site is located within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is consistent
with the regional policies of the SEQ Regional Plan.
Planning Regulation 2017
The following assessment benchmark from the Planning Regulation 2017 applies to the
application:
•     SEQ Regional Plan
The proposal is for urban activity within the Urban Footprint and is consistent with the assessment
benchmarks contained in the Planning Regulation 2017 for the SEQ Region.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The subject site is located in Tewantin and is zoned Low Density Residential. The proposed
reconfiguring a lot application is required to follow a code assessable application process.
The application must be assessed against each of the following codes to the extent they are
relevant to the development:
•     Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code
•     Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Code;
•     Reconfiguring a Lot Code
•     Low Density Residential Zone Code;
•     Works Codes.
3.3.1 Overlay Codes
The site is mapped as being within a potential impact buffer area for bushfire due to the site being
in proximity to the Tewantin TAFE site which is mostly vegetated. It is also mapped as being
potentially subject to acid sulfate soils given it is low lying, and in proximity to Lake Doonella and
the Noosa River.
The overlay mapping has no implications for this proposed reconfiguring a lot with the potential
bushfire and acid sulfate soils to be addressed by a private building certifier at the time of
construction of any new buildings on the site.
