3.2. State and Other Statutory Instruments
State Planning Policies

The proposal is consistent with State Planning Policies.
South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan 2009 - 2031
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.
State Planning Regulatory Provisions
The following State Planning Regulatory Provisions apply to the application:
   SEQ Regional Plan Regulatory Provisions
   South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provisions
The proposal is for an urban activity within the Urban Footprint and is consistent with the SEQ
Regional Plan Regulatory Provisions.
The site is within a Koala assessable development area and as the development’s footprint is
greater than 500m² the application must be assessed against Column 2 of Table 7 -
Development that is in a Koala Assessable Development Area. The development complies with
Column 2 because the development is not clearing any non-juvenile koala habitat trees, the site
is designated a Low Value Rehabilitation area and koala food trees may be provided as part of
the sites landscaping.
3.3. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The subject site is located in the Eastern Beaches Locality and is zoned Community Services
and Open Space Recreation.
Commercial Business Type 1 – Office and Entertainment and Dining Business Type 1 – Food
and Beverage (where not associated with a community use) are both inconsistent uses within the
Community Services zone (the lots fronting David Low Way) and are required to follow an impact
assessable application process.
Notwithstanding this, there are some further statements in the planning scheme which suggest
professional offices are envisaged along the western side of David Low Way between Woodland
Drive and the Peregian Beach Caravan Park or at least up to 253 David Low Way, which
includes the Council’s car park site.
