Planning Report - Moonstruck Noosa

6. State Planning Interests

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. Given that the proposed Food and Drink Outlet is to be located within an
existing building, no major alterations to the building are proposed, and no referral triggers are
identified within the Development Assessment Mapping System, the State Development
Assessment Provisions are not applicable to this code assessable development application.

As such, no further assessment is required and referral to SARA is not activated by this application.



6.3 State Planning Policy

Stated within part 2.1 of the Noosa Plan 2020, the State Planning Policy (SPP) July 2017 has been
appropriately integrated within the Noosa Plan 2020. Therefore, assessment against the SPP is not
required.



6.4 South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017

The South East Queensland Regional Plan (SEQRP) guides land use and development in the region.
The subject land is located within the Urban Footprint designation of the SEQRP (refer Figure 5
below). The proposed development is consistent with the regional land use intent, regional policies
and desired regional outcomes for the Urban Footprint.
