3.0 Planning Report

4.0 State Legislation Assessment
4.1 The Planning Act 2016
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.


4.4      Referral Matters
A desktop review of the QLD Development Assessment Mapping System confirms the development does not trigger

referrals to the Chief Executive Officer for matters prescribed in Schedule 10 of the Planning Regulation 2017.
