5.              Development Assessment
This section of the report describes the statutory planning framework applicable to the development application.

      5.1.           Planning Act 2016
The Planning Act 2016 is the statutory planning instrument for the State of Queensland under which, amongst other
matters, development applications are assessed by local governments.
The categorising instrument (being the Noosa Plan 2020) identifies the proposed development as Code Assessment.
Section 45(3) defines what a code assessment is, and subsection (3)(b) specifically states that the assessment
must be carried out:
           “having regard to any matters prescribed by regulation.”
Identification of the relevant assessment benchmarks and a planning assessment against each of these is provided
within the sections below.

      5.2.           Planning Regulation 2017
With reference to Schedule 10 of the Planning Regulation 2017, the proposed development does not trigger referral
to an advice or concurrence agency.

      5.3.           South East Queensland Regional Plan
The South East Queensland Regional Plan 2023 (Regional Plan) details the objectives for managing growth and land
use activities across South East Queensland up to and including 2041. The proposed development is consistent
with the intent of the premises identified under the Regional Plan.

      5.4.           State Planning Policy
The State Planning Policy 2017 (SPP) articulates that State interests that have been identified as critical to protecting
and enhancing Queensland and delivering responsible development. The SPP only applies to development
assessment if the planning scheme has not yet appropriately integrated the SPP. If there is a discrepancy between
a local planning scheme and a state planning policy, then the state planning policy overrides the planning scheme.
The Planning Scheme reflects majority of the SPP. The state interest that is not appropriately integrated is the
Natural Hazards, risk and resilience - Coastal Hazards – in part. As the development is not in a costal hazard are no
assessment against the SPP has been provided.

      5.5.           Local Planning Instruments
This application is to be assessed against the Noosa Plan 2020. The assessment benchmarks applicable under the
Planning Scheme are addressed below.
