The referral agency may decide the development is consistent with the future planning intent for the area only if the development is consistent with the land use and infrastructure plan. If subsection (3) does not apply, the referral agency may decide the development is consistent with the future planning intent for the area only if the development— is consistent with the outcomes and strategies, and subregional directions, stated in the SEQ regional plan; and does not compromise the intent for the area stated in— the SEQ regional plan; or the gazette notice for the SEQ development area; and does not adversely affect the delivery and orderly sequencing of infrastructure for the SEQ development area or land adjacent to the SEQ development area; and is compatible with the use of other premises in the surrounding area; and avoids an area that involves a risk of serious harm to persons or property from natural events or processes, including, for example, bush fires, coastal erosion, flooding or landslides, or, if the area can not be avoided, minimises the risk.
