4.0 State Planning Considerations

4.1 The Planning Regulation 2017 (Regulation)
The policy objective of the Regulation is to prescribe instruments and address matters provided for under
the Act, and provide the mechanics for the operation and implementation of the Act. The Regulation
transitions the provisions of the repealed Sustainable Planning Regulation 2009 and includes new matters
dealt with under the Planning Act 2016.


4.2 The Planning Act 2016 (Act)
The Act is Queensland’s principle planning legislation that coordinates planning at a state, regional and
local level. The Act was in effect on 3rd July 2017.


4.3 State Planning Policy (SPPP) – Part E
The State Planning Policy (SPP) defines the Queensland Government’s policies about 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 there is a discrepancy between a local
planning scheme and the SPP, then what is outlined in the state planning policy overrides the planning
scheme.
The Noosa Plan 2006 has not adopted the SPPs introduced in July 2017 as part of the new planning system.
An assessment of the proposed development against the State interest policies and assessment
benchmarks in Part E of the State Planning Policy are therefore addressed below in Table 2.
