               3.       ASSESSMENT
               3.1. Instruments for Statutory Assessment
               Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
               statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
               •     State Planning Policy;
               •     South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017;
               •     Planning Regulation 2017;
               •     Noosa Plan 2020 (March 2026).
               3.2. State and Other Statutory Instruments
               State Planning Policy
               The proposal aligns with State Interest 1: Planning for Liveable Communities and Housing, through
               the provision of additional affordable dwellings within an established urban area that is well
               connected to services, facilities and employment opportunities. Further, the 19 proposed affordable
               rental premises comprise a mix of one and two-bedroom units that can cater for households with
               accessibility requirements, elderly residents or those requiring assisted living – in line with the
               aspirations of the SPP, namely the State Interest.
               South East Queensland (SEQ) Regional Plan 2017
               The site is located within the Urban Footprint of the SEQ Regional Plan 2017. The proposal is
               consistent with the policies of the SEQ Regional Plan.
               Planning Regulation 2017
               The proposal is for an urban activity within the Urban Footprint and is consistent with the
               assessment benchmarks contained in the Planning Regulation 2017 for the SEQ Region.
