5. State Planning Interests

The following is an assessment of how the proposed development addresses the relevant statutory
planning documents.



5.1 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.



5.2 State Planning Policy

The Planning Minister is satisfied that the State Planning Policy (SPP) dated July 2017 is appropriately
integrated in the Noosa Council's Noosa Plan 2020 and is therefore not required to be separately
assessed as part of this application.



5.3 South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017

The South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017 (SEQRP) guides land use and development in the
region. The subject land is located within the Urban Footprint of the SEQRP. As detailed within this
report above, the proposed development is consistent with the urban footprint intent, regional
policies and desired regional outcomes for the SEQRP. Additionally, the planning and land use
outcomes contained within the Regional Plan and the State Planning Policy applying to the land are
generally reflected in the Noosa Plan 2020 in accordance the Planning Act 2016.



5.4 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. A review of the State Assessment Referral Agency’s (SARA) Development
Assessment Mapping System (DAMS) has confirmed there are no matters of State interest.
