10. Statutory planning assessment
10.1 Overview
As the application is subject to code assessment, the assessment benchmarks, and the matters the
assessment manager must have regard to, are those identified in section 45(5) of the Planning Act 2016 and
sections 30 and 31 of the Planning Regulation 2017.
As Noosa Shire Council is the assessment manager as the relevant local authority the categorising instrument
is the Noosa Plan 2020.

10.2 State and regional assessment benchmarks
        10.2.1 Regional Plan
Section 30(2)(a)(i) of the Planning Regulation 2017 requires that the assessment of this application must be
carried out against the assessment benchmarks stated in the regional plan, to the extent the regional plan is
not identified in the planning scheme as having been appropriately integrated.


Section 2.2 of the Noosa Plan 2020 confirms that the minister has identified that the planning scheme,
specifically the Strategic Framework, appropriately advances the SEQ Regional Plan as it applies in the
planning scheme area.

The subject site is within the Urban Footprint area of the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2017. The
Urban Footprint is intended to support urban uses such as “housing, industry, business, infrastructure,
community facilities and urban open spaces”. The proposal seeks approval for multiple dwellings consistent
with the intent of the Urban Footprint.

        10.2.2 State Planning Policy
Section 30(2)(a)(ii) of the Planning Regulation 2017 requires that the assessment of this application must be
carried out against the State Planning Policy, part E, to the extent Part E is not identified in the planning scheme
as having been appropriately integrated.
Part 2 (State planning provisions) of the Noosa Plan 2020 identifies that all relevant aspects of the State
Planning Policy have been appropriately reflected in the adopted Scheme. It is therefore not considered
necessary to provide a specific assessment against the SPP.

        10.2.3 Temporary State planning policy
Section 30(2)(a)(iii) of the Planning Regulation 2017 requires that the assessment of this application must be
carried out against any temporary State planning policy applying to the premises.
No temporary State planning policies apply.
