Operational plan for cabins at 340 Pomona Kin Kin Road, 4568



Overview

This plan concerns the siting of a number of cabins (possibly 6) on 340 Pomona Kin Kin Road under
the umbrella of eco-tourism.

Our aim is to provide holiday accommodation to people for short stays where they can be ideally
located to enjoy the surrounding area and the attractions and amenities that Noosa Shire has to
offer.

Each cabin will be equipped with its own bathroom and kitchen and will be serviced with a water
tank, solar and a waste disposal system and will be completely eco-friendly.

Our target market is young families who want to come and stay in a rural location and enjoy a
lifestyle farm setting. We will have a variety of small animals on site namely chickens, guinea fowl,
pygmy goats, Dexter cattle, sheep, and horses (2 of each breed except chickens where we will have
6) and will encourage the families to help with feeding and collection of eggs.

We would also like to attract those who want to enjoy the wildlife we have here, such as the many
types of birds and butterflies, and will advertise on nature sites and forums. As we are located just
off the Noosa Trail Network we hope that this will be an incentive to those who would like to go
walking/hiking or mountain biking during the day and enjoy the Noosa countryside.

We will not allow any type of motorised vehicles such as trail bikes/motocross etc. on site (other
than the main car in the designated area) as this would scare the local wildlife and could become a
noise nuisance to other visitors, our neighbours and ourselves.

We think that the provision of cabins in this setting will be a wonderful opportunity for those people
who want a back to nature experience with the comfort of a self-contained cabin.



Waste Management

We have engaged the services of Australian Soil Investigations and have a report on the findings in
order to ensure we install the correct waste system for the cabins. We are being advised on this by
Wade Holmes and will follow his recommendation to ensure that the watercourses are not
compromised.

Rubbish collection will be carried out by the clients and we will ask them to bring their rubbish to us
for appropriate disposal. This will be a work in progress as we will not know the exact amounts until
we start operating, but if we need to we can dispose of any additional refuse at the local refuse
point on Louis Bazzo Road, or we can hire a refuse bin/skip to keep on site and have emptied as
required. We will have two rubbish bins in each cabin- one for refuse and one for recyclables.



Car Parking

There is an area adjacent to the main sealed driveway which had hard-core already laid under the
grass and is ideal for a small number of vehicles to park (up to 8). This is just below the site of the

cabins and guests can park there whilst staying at the cabin. Any other visitors and additional
vehicles can be parked on the large sealed driveway by the main house.



Noise Mitigation

The cabins will be sited away from any boundary and a large distance from the neighbouring house
so that there will be no noise impact for our neighbour. The property is on a lower level than the
neighbouring property and so noise will not travel up to them. As we are looking to attract the family
market with young children we anticipate that there will be no noise late at night as the children will
be in bed. Each cabin will have its own kitchen and bathroom so there is no need for people to be
moving around outside the cabins late at night. We are not allowing vehicles up to the cabins and so
there will be no additional noise if people return late at night.

We will be planting trees along the boundary with the neighbour to ensure that any noise will not
carry over and also to shield the cabins.



Amenity

We appreciate that the area is one of outstanding natural beauty and we do not want to do anything
to jeopardise that. We will be putting in additional native trees on the boundaries and smaller
foliage in between the cabins in order to screen them from both the possibility of being seen by
neighbours and from each other. We are aware that there is a fine balance to be struck in order to
not increase the vulnerability to bushfire but will take advice from the appropriate people on this.
We will be joining Noosa and district Landcare group and land for wildlife so that we ensure we are
putting in the right type of trees in the correct density.



Emergency Evacuation Plan

In the event of a natural disaster such as a bush fire or cyclone we have this plan in place in order to
safeguard those staying at the property- namely guests, visitors and anyone else on the property.

The emergency meeting point will be the main residence on the property- a brick built low set
building which is on a concrete foundation and clear of any potential flooding dangers.

A notice will be erected in each cabin to detail which has a site plan and evacuation procedure on it.
All guests will be notified of this on their arrival and the evacuation point clearly identified.

In the event of any medical emergency the owners will be first aid trained and if the medical issue is
more serious (snake bite etc.) then 000 will be called and there is a large open area in front of the
main house where a helicopter can land easily.

In the event of flood, cyclone or fire we will advise guests to make their way to the main house if
possible, and if not then the proceed to the end of the driveway adjacent to the Pomona Kin Kin
Road and wait for assistance.
