The application for proposed development is assessable development requiring Code Assessment pursuant to Section
45 (3) of the Planning Act.
Code Assessment is an assessment that must be carried out only:
(a) Against the assessment benchmarks in a categorising instrument for the development; and
(b) Having regard to any matters prescribed by regulation for this paragraph.
4.2 State Planning Policy
Part 2 of the Noosa Plan 2020 identifies that the Planning Minister is satisfied that the State Planning Policy, and state
interests is appropriately integrated into the Planning Scheme with exception to Natural hazards, risk and resilience –
coastal hazards (in part). However as this interest is not affected by the proposal no further assessment is required.
4.3 South-East Queensland Regional Plan
The subject site is mapped within the Urban Footprint under the Regional Plan.
The Urban Footprint Intent: The Urban Footprint identifies land within which the region’s urban development needs to
2041 can be accommodated in a way consistent with the goals, elements and strategies of ShapingSEQ.
Description: The Urban Footprint includes established urban areas, broad hectare and remnant broad hectare areas
that could be suitable for future urban development. It incorporates the full range of urban uses, including housing,
industry, business, infrastructure, community facilities and urban open space (SEQRP).
Further to this Local Government planning schemes are the main instrument to which will refine the desired use of the
land and the preferred timing of development within the Urban Footprint.
The proposed development is considered consistent with the strategic intent for the land.

5 Local Government Assessment
5.1 Noosa Plan 2020
The Noosa Plan 2020 – Amendment 1 came into effect on the 25th of September 2020 and supersedes the Noosa Plan
2020 which was gazetted and came into effect on 31 July 2020.
The site is within the Medium Impact Industry Zone, Precinct 7 – Venture Drive Enterprise Precinct.
5.2 Defined Use
The applicant proposes development of the site for Low Impact Industry, defined as:
Low impact industry means the use of premises for an industrial activity—
1. that is the manufacturing, producing, processing, repairing, altering, recycling, storing, distributing, transferring or
treating of products; and
2. that a local planning instrument applying to the premises states is a low impact industry; and
3. that complies with any thresholds for the activity stated in a local planning instrument applying to the
premises, including, for example, thresholds relating to the number of products manufactured or the level
of emissions produced by the activity.
The development is being undertaken speculatively, however gauged from initial interest has implied future business
uses would fit within the thresholds of Low Impact Industry as listed in Schedule 1 of the Noosa Plan 2020.
5.3 Category of Assessment
Table 5.5.10.1 – Venture Drive Enterprise Precinct identifies Low Impact Industry requires Code Assessment against
the following assessment benchmarks (codes):
Noosaville Local Plan Code;
Medium Impact Industry Zone Code;
Industry Activities Code; and
Works codes
5.4 Public Notification
The application proposes assessable development which requires Code Assessment and therefore does not require
public notification pursuant to Section 53 of the Planning Act 2016 and Part 4 of the Development Assessment Rules.

Page 14
5.5 Overlays
Comment: The site is mapped on Land Subject to Acid
Sulphate Soils Overlay and within a Category 1 area –
Above 5m AHD to 20m AHD. The development does not
propose soil excavation or removal of soils which
therefore result avoidance of disturbing Acid Sulphate
Soils. No further assessment is needed.
5.6 Development Assessment
5.6.1 Noosaville Local Plan Code
The proposal has been reviewed against the Noosaville Local Plan Code and considered to comply with the Purpose
and Overall Outcomes of the Code, specifically:
(o) Development in the Low impact industry zone and the Medium impact industry zone accommodates a
broad range of industry and business uses, avoiding negative impacts on the amenity of nearby residential
areas.
(p) Activities in industry zones provide important services and products to the community and provide a range
of employment types.
Comment: The application proposes Low Impact Industry development on Medium Impact Industry Zone land. The
development will accommodate a range of industrial activity and business consistent with the definition for Low Impact
Industry within six tenancies. Perceived impacts on nearby residential areas are negated via land separation from the
nearby sensitive land uses. Further all industrial activity on-site will occur within a building.
5.6.2 Medium Impact Industry Zone Code
The development achieves the purpose of the Medium Impact Industry Zone, in particular being within the Venture
Drive Enterprise Precinct (7) with regard to being compatible with surrounding industry uses and not undermining or
compromising the zone with incompatible land uses.
