B.0      ASSESSMENT GUIDELINES

           B.1       State Planning Policy (July, 2014)

                       B.1.1       General

In 2003 the Queensland State Government adopted under the Integrated Planning Act 1997
(IPA) the State Planning Policy 1/03 “Mitigating the Adverse Impacts of Flood, Bushfire and
Landslide” and an associated guideline.

In 2014, the Queensland State Government reissued all the State Planning Policies under a
single document (State Planning Policy July 2014 - SPP). Landslide has now been
addressed under two sections of the document these being:-

Part D – The State Interests and Plan Making policies - Planning for
Safety and Resilience to Hazards.
Making or amending a planning scheme and designating land for community
infrastructure
The planning scheme is to appropriately integrate the state interest by:

For all natural hazards:

      3) Identifying natural hazard areas for flood, bushfire, landslide and coastal hazards
         based on a fit for purpose natural hazard study, and
      4) Including provisions that seek to achieve an acceptable or tolerable level of risk,
         based on a fit for purpose risk assessment consistent with AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009
         Risk Management, and
      5) Including provisions that require development to:
           a) Avoid natural hazard areas or mitigate the risks of the natural hazard to an
              acceptable or tolerable level, and
           b) Support, and not unduly burden, disaster management response or recovery
              capacity and capabilities, and
           c) Directly, indirectly and cumulatively avoid an increase in the severity of the
              natural hazard and the potential for damage on the site or to other properties, and
           d) Maintain or enhance natural processes and the protective function of landforms
              and vegetation that can mitigate risks associated with the natural hazard, and
      6) Facilitating the location and design of community infrastructure to maintain the
         required level of functionality during and immediately after a natural hazard event.
