DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION ASSESSMENT REPORT ARMSTRONG BEACH ROAD, SARINA MARCH 2012 5 ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK The development application will be assessed against relevant provisions of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA), other State legislation, the Sarina Shire Planning Scheme and supporting planning policies. Consideration of this assessment framework is outlined below. 5.1 STATE FRAMEWORK The statutory framework for decision making in relation to land use and development in Queensland is contained within the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA) and its subordinate legislation. The relevant Planning Scheme against which this application is assessed is the Sarina Shire Planning Scheme (Sarina Planning Scheme), which is governed by the Mackay Regional Council following Council amalgamations. The key responsibilities of the State in relation to development are to oversee and ensure that: • State, Regional and Local planning legislation is appropriately implemented under SPA; • State interests and policies are integrated within the land use planning and development assessment framework through State planning instruments; and • IDAS is maintained as an efficient and effective development assessment system. As further identified within SPA, the assessment manager for the application is the Mackay Regional Council, and referral of the development application to State Agencies is reviewed within Section 6 – Referral Agencies of this report. 5.2 REGIONAL FRAMEWORK The Mackay, Isaac and Whitsunday (MIW) Regional Plan 2011-2031 (referred to as the Regional Plan) was adopted on 8 February 2012 and provides the framework for managing growth, change, land use and development in the MIW region to the year 2031. The Regional Plan represents an agreed Queensland Government position on the future of MIW and takes precedence over all other planning instruments. The subject site is located within the Regional Landscape and Rural Production Area of the regional plan and is subject to Section 2.1 (Material Change of Use outside the Urban Footprint) of Division 2 under the MIW State Planning Regulatory Provisions 2012. While the proposed site of the development will be located outside of the Urban Footprint area of the adopted Regional Plan, it is our interpretation the proposed Non-Resident Workforce Accommodation use is not defined as a Residential Development, or an Urban Activity according to Schedule 2 (s2.1 and s2.2) of the Regional Plan.
