    6.0       State Planning Matters

    6.1         Referral for Matters of State Interest

              The Planning Act 2016 and Planning Regulation 2017 provide the legislative
              framework within Queensland for authorities (Local and State Government)
              to assess development applications. Matters that require assessment may
              be delegated to the Department of State Development, Manufacturing,
              Infrastructure and Planning (DSDMIP) for assessment           by the State
              Assessment and Referral Agency (SARA).


              Following a review of the SARA DA Online Mapping System, it is
              acknowledged that this application does not require referral to DSDMIP for
              assessment by SARA.


              It is acknowledged that the application will need to be referred to Energex as
              an advice agency.


    7.2         State Planning Policy

              The State Planning Policy (SPP) outlines the Queensland Government’s
              policies regarding matters of state interest in land use planning and
              development.    The SPP only applies to development assessment if the
              planning scheme has not yet appropriately integrated the SPP.            If a
              discrepancy arises between a local planning scheme and a state planning
              policy, the state planning policy overrides the planning scheme. As outlined
              within Part 2 of the Noosa Plan, the SPP has been incorporated into the
              planning scheme.      In light of the above, an assessment of the proposed
              development against the SPP is not required.
