are available at www.adac.com.au
On Maintenance
38. All municipal works must be accepted ‘On Maintenance’ by Council in accordance
with Council’s relevant Planning Scheme Policy prior to the commencement of the
use. To achieve ‘On Maintenance’, the supervising RPEQ must submit to Council:
a. certification that all works have been undertaken and completed in accordance
with the requirements of this Permit
b. as Constructed details in accordance with Council’s Planning Scheme Policy
c. maintenance and operational manuals for all proprietary or site specific devices
Off Maintenance
39. Prior to requesting an Off Maintenance inspection the developer must provide a
written request for the Off Maintenance inspection.
40. A re-inspection fee in accordance with Council’s Fees and Charge Register will be
charged where:
a. a Council inspection reveals works do not comply with approval requirements
b. submitted certification falsely states works comply with approval requirements.
B. Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with the
Planning Scheme:
1. The Sport and Active Recreation Strategy identifies that the subject land is surplus to
Open Space Recreation land in Cooroy;
2. The Open Space Strategy identifies that additional land is required further north,
towards Cooroy’s residential growth areas along Lake Macdonald Drive and
Pearsons Road;
3. The proposed development provides smaller dwellings with varying bedroom
configurations which improves housing choice and is identified as community benefit
by Councils Strategic Land Use Planning Section.
4. The proposed dwelling types are broadly consistent with the character provisions of
the locality; and
5. The proposal is consistent with the Preliminary Approval which is valid until 31
October 2019.

REPORT
1. PROPOSAL
The application seeks approval for Material Change of Use of Premises - Multiple Housing Type
4 - Conventional (6 units).
It is proposed to develop 2 x 3 bedroom, 2 x 2 bedroom and 2 x 1 bedroom residential units. The
6 units are proposed to be within 4 re-located double storey buildings and accessed via a
common driveway extending north to south through the site connecting Opal Street to Diamond
Lane.
The site is within the Open Space Recreation zone, which reflects the site’s previous ownership
by the Cooroy Bowls Club.
The site has a current preliminary approval for Multiple Housing – Type 4 Conventional for 6 x 2
bedroom units on the site that is valid until 31 October 2019. The preliminary approval allows for
an inconsistent use on the site and calls for an Impact Assessable Development Application for
the use to obtain a development permit.
The application is subject to the assessment against the conditions of the preliminary approval,
the provisions of The Noosa Plan and any other applicable statutory instruments.
The applicant also seeks approval for operational works.
The application is before Council as the proposed Residential use is inconsistent within the Open
Space Recreation zone. Figures 1 to 3 detail a Locality Plan, Zone Map and a Site Plan.

2.1. Background
The following table describes all the approvals given over the site, and their current status:
File Description of Approval Council Decision Date and Comments
Reference
TPC2846 Development Permit for 5 September 1995
Indoor entertainment, new
clubhouse, sport and Conditions required the completion of frontage works
recreation - new bowling including 25 angle car parks in Opal Street and a
green meandering footpath.

Club constructed the car parks.
Due to the credit for the existing clubhouse, the
planning requirement was only 13 car bays.
23431 DA Development Permit for On the 1 July 2004, Council approved 21 motel units.
Motel – 21 Accommodation Reasons for the approval despite the inconsistency with
Units (Lapsed) the zoning are outlined below:
There has been considerable community support for
the proposal, including the Chamber of Commerce;
The motel is to be developed on the same site as the
bowls club, which has a low intensity of development;
and
There is a significant need for additional short-term
accommodation such as a motel in the town of
Cooroy.
Change – Permissible Change for On the 3 July 2008, Council gave approval to use the
TPC2846 Addition to Building - outdoor area on the western side of the bowls club to
Outdoor Smoking area allow for outdoor smoking area.

16 Reconfiguring a Lot approvals:
Preliminary Approval for Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into 2
Multiple Housing Type 4: lots) to subdivide the 5,059m2 Cooroy Bowls Club site
extended until 31 October into 2 lots (5 & 11 Opal Street
2019
Preliminary Approval for Multiple Housing Type 4 – 6 x 2
bedroom units with the following grounds to justify the
decision, despite the conflict with the planning scheme:
29. The proposed use is consistent with the existing
and preferred development pattern of the
surrounding area;
30. The land is not required for Open Space
Recreation, as demonstrated in the recently
endorsed Open Space Strategy 2011 and Sport and
Recreation Strategy 2011; and
31. The proposal maintains the existing bowls club on
the majority of the site.

The site is located within the Urban Footprint area of the SEQ Regional Plan. The proposal is
consistent with the regional policies of the SEQ Regional Plan.
State Planning Regulatory Provisions
The following State Planning Regulatory Provisions apply to the application:
SEQ Regional Plan Regulatory Provisions
The proposal is for an urban activity within the Urban Footprint and is consistent with the SEQ
Regional Plan Regulatory Provisions
3.3. Preliminary Approval Overriding the Planning Scheme for the land
MCU10/2116 & REC10/2072
On 1 November 2011 Negotiated Decision Notice MCU10/2116 & REC10/2072 was issued and
included Preliminary Approval for Material Change of Use of Premises for Multiple Housing Type
4 (6 Units) with a lapse date of 31 October 2015.
An extension to the relevant period was issued on 20 August 2015 which provided for a new
lapse date of 31 October 2019.
The Preliminary Approval is for 6 x 2 bedroom dwelling units occupying two separate buildings
with each unit serviced by a single car space. Details of the approval are provided in
Attachment 2.
The following table provides a comparison of key attributes of the preliminary approval and the
current proposal.

Table 2: Comparison of key attributes of the preliminary approval and the current proposal
Page 20 of 91
Section 21
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
The above table identifies that there are numerous aspects of the current application which are
consistent with the Preliminary Approval.
It is acknowledged that the current proposal seeks the development of 6 dwelling units within 4
buildings whereas the original proposal sought the development of the 6 dwelling units within 2
buildings. The current proposal is not considered to be a lesser outcome in that each building has
the appearance of traditional ‘Queenslander’ dwellings, includes adequate separation between
each new building and will be consistent with other residential built form in the surrounding area.
The current proposal seeks to develop dwellings with a greater height than the preliminary
approval however it is considered that the increase in height is a minor variation. The proposed
height is also consistent with the height of the dwellings to the rear of the adjoining property at 15
Opal Street and other dwellings within close proximity of the site.
3.4. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The subject site is located in the Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality and is zoned Open Space
Recreation Zone. The proposed use is identified as an inconsistent use within the zone and is
required to follow an impact assessable application process.
Locality Provisions
Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality Code
The site is within the Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality and is zoned Open Space Recreation.
The proposed Multiple Housing use is identified as an inconsistent use within the Locality Code
and therefore is required to follow an impact assessable application process. In relation to the
proposal, the most relevant overall outcome states:
6.7.2dd) For the Open Space Recreation Zone—areas of open space contribute to the
desired lifestyle of residents by offering a variety of passive and active recreational
experiences that are conducive to community interaction and wellbeing.
This inconsistency with the scheme was recognised at the time the preliminary approval was
issued when it was noted:
Despite the conflict with this overall outcome, it is recognised that the proposal maintains
the predominant recreational bowling use on the majority of the site, and the proposed
units are to be developed on a portion of the land, which the bowls club submits is surplus
to the requirements of their needs.
The proposed use of the currently vacant portion of the site for multiple dwelling units is
also in keeping with recent developments on adjoining Attached Housing zoned land and is
consistent with other overall outcomes of the Locality Code to develop areas surrounding
the business centre with a higher density.
There have been no changes to the Overall Outcomes within the Cooroy and Lake Macdonald
Locality Code or to the layout and use of the Cooroy Bowls Club since the preliminary approval
was issued that create conflict with the previous assessment.
Overall outcome 6.7.2h) states:
The urban community is predominantly accommodated in detached housing, although
areas close to Cooroy centre support semi-attached and attached residential development
and other properties in Cooroy township containing aged care housing.
It is considered that the development is consistent with this relevant outcome as it proposes
multiple housing units within 70 metres of the Business Centre zone within Cooroy. The adjoining
sites are predominantly zoned for Attached Housing and Semi-Attached Housing.
The Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality Code provides for Specific Outcomes for new uses in
the Open Space Recreation Zone; however due to the nature of the development the most
suitable assessment criteria to compare the proposal with is the Attached Housing Zone. This is
reflective of the adjoining land at 11 Opal Street and land on the opposite side of Opal Street.
Page 21 of 91
Section 22
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
Assessment against the relevant Specific Outcomes for the Cooroy and Lake Macdonald Locality
and the Attached Housing Zone is detailed in the following table. Whilst generally complying with
the specific outcomes the proposal seeks to vary the requirements for roof form, length of wall
and side boundary setbacks.

Table 3: Assessment of key attributes of the proposal against the Specific Outcomes for the Semi-Attached
Housing Zone
The most relevant specific outcomes are addressed below:
Specific Outcome: 05 Laneways
O5 Access for new uses is only taken off a laneway where upgrading works are carried out to
the laneway to enable the laneway to accommodate the anticipated levels of traffic.
The proposal seeks access from both Opal Street and Diamond Lane. Diamond Lane is a narrow
lane that currently provides rear access to a number of residential and commercial premises
which front Opal Street and Diamond Street and is the sole access point for the residential
development on the adjoining land at 11 Opal Street.
To ensure a satisfactory response to this specific outcome the construction of a passing
opportunity for vehicles traversing Diamond Lane is required.
Page 22 of 91
Section 23
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
Specific Outcome: 016 Roof Forms
O16 The proposed buildings are re-located dwellings which do not provide 600mm eaves to
75% of the building. The proposed type of dwelling is consistent with the surrounding
character, with similar style dwellings within the vicinity of the site which generally do not
possess substantial eaves.
Specific Outcome: O42 Buildings and structures–
O42 The use of 4 separate buildings to accommodate 6 separate dwellings positively
responds to the streetscape character as the visual bulk and architectural form of the
buildings is consistent with those situated on adjoining and nearby land. The presentation
to Opal Street and Diamond Lane includes windows to both ground floor and the upper
level, decks, staircases and carports which will present to each street front as opposed to
the large walls approved by the preliminary approval.
Whilst dwelling type B has a wall of 15.7 metres in length this relates only to the ground floor
level and includes several windows which will provide for visual interest and internal amenity,
additionally visual interest will be generated by the use of weatherboard type materials.
Side boundary setback
The dwellings are setback as follows:
Planning Scheme Proposed
Eastern boundary Type A: 3.8 metres Type A: 2.5 metres
Type B: 3.7 metres Type B: 2.0 metres
Western boundary Type A: 3.8 metres Type A: 2.5 metres
Type B: 3.7 metres Type B: 2.0 metres
Variation to the side setbacks is considered reasonable as the eastern side setback will be
consistent with the 2.0 metre setback to the double storey dwelling situated to the rear of 15 Opal
Street which has a wall height similar to that of dwelling type B. Lesser variation is required to the
western side boundary which is also considered reasonable in light of the non-residential nature
of the adjoining land use. Both of the proposed setbacks provide sufficient area for access and a
landscape buffer to be developed adjacent to the boundary of at least one metre in depth.
Land Use & Works Provisions
The following codes which regulate land use and design are most applicable to this application:
Residential Uses Code
Engineering Works Code
Landscaping Code
Removal of Existing Carpark
The application proposes a dual access arrangement whereby access will be provided from both
Diamond Lane and Opal Street. As a result of an existing carpark constructed as part of the
Bowls Club development in 1996, the proposed driveway and crossover to Opal Street will result
in the removal of 1 car park.
Consideration was given to include a condition of approval for 1 additional parking space to be
developed further to the east to off-set the reduction. However a preliminary investigation
revealed an additional carpark in this location will require significant works to relocate existing
stormwater infrastructure which currently services the existing development at 15 Opal Street. It
was further considered that the additional carpark would impact the amenity of the adjoining
residential development which it would abut.
Page 23 of 91
Section 24
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
Noting the decreasing rates of patronage of the Bowls Club and carpark vacancy, it is considered
that the removal of 1 car space will not unduly impact the functioning of the Bowls Club.
Notwithstanding the deletion of 1 space, it is considered that the balance car spaces is sufficient
to accommodate the likely number of users and intensity scale of the Bowls Club use.
Overlay Provisions
There are no Overlay Codes applicable to this application.
4. CONSULTATION
4.1. IDAS Referral Agencies
The application was not required to be referred to any IDAS Referral Agencies.
4.2. Other Referrals
The application was forwarded to Unitywater and the following internal Council specialists:
Strategic Land Use Planning
Engineering
Infrastructure Charges
The most pertinent comments are provided below:
Strategic Land Use Planning
Should the land not be needed for sport and recreation purposes the preferred use of the site
would be residential purposes and specifically multiple housing.
The site is well positioned within a short flat walk of a multitude of services including
transport.
Given that Cooroy is already dominated by low density detached dwellings of 3 or more
bedrooms a higher number of smaller dwellings would improve housing choice and be of
far greater community benefit.
The need for small dwelling units is illustrated by the 23 one and two person households on
the waiting list for social housing in Cooroy.
The application was originally for 4 x 3 bedroom dwellings units and was amended in response to
the above comments from Council’s Strategic Land Use Planning Unit to provide an array of
dwelling types including 2 x 2 bedroom and 2 x 1 bedroom dwellings.
Operational Works
The access driveway to the site from Diamond Lane must include the construction of a
passing opportunity for vehicles traversing Diamond Lane. The overall width of the lane
formation and the passing opportunity must be sufficient to allow vehicles to pass.
A condition to the permit has been included to address the need to provide for passing
opportunities within Diamond Lane.
Infrastructure Charges
The development approval triggers an Infrastructure Charge Notice for $58,813.00 at CPI
December 2016.
4.3. Public Notification
The application was publicly notified for 15 business days in accordance with the Sustainable
Planning Act 2009. No properly made submissions were received.
Page 24 of 91
Section 25
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
5. CONCLUSION
The application to develop 6 dwelling units on a vacant portion of the existing Cooroy Bowls Club
land, conflicts with the purpose of the Open Space Recreation zoning. Although the conflict
exists, there are sufficient grounds for 6 dwelling units to be developed on the site.
The Sport and Active Recreation Strategy 2011 and the Open Space Strategy 2011 suggest that
the location of the currently vacant 1,536 m2 portion land is not needed for the open space
recreation purpose.
The proposed dwelling mix provides for an array of dwelling types that has been identified by
Council’s Strategic Land Use Planning Unit as providing a higher number of smaller dwellings
that will improve housing choice and be of community benefit.
The proposed use as multiple housing will provide for permanent accommodation in a dwelling
type, which is consistent with the Overall Outcomes for the Locality and is consistent with the
Preliminary Approval which is valid until 31 October 2019.
The application is, therefore, recommended for approval, with conditions.

REPORT
1. PROPOSAL
The application seeks approval for a Development Permit for Operational Works to replace an
existing wall (building facia) sign in conjunction with the installation of two additional wall signs at
the existing premises along its Noosa Parade frontage. The signs comprise two new “Sofitel”
internally illuminated signs dimensioned 315mm x 4000mm and 473mm x 6000mm and a new
“Noosa Pacific Resort” internally illuminated sign with a dimension of 380mm x 8000mm. The
proposed signs are show in Figures 1 and 2 below. The proposed additional signage will have a
combined sign face area of 7.13m2 which equates to a total sign face area of 9.71m2 associated
with the Sofitel.
One sign will be fixed to the facia of the existing building and the other fixed to the facia of the
covered vehicle drop off area at the buildings entrance as shown in Figure 3 and 4 below.

2. SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
A Development Permit for Operational Works for Advertising Devices (Signage) was approved by
Council on 28 February 2013 (OPW13/0100). The approval granted permission to replace
existing signage throughout multiple tenancies onsite in addition to a new pylon sign to replace 4
smaller pylon signs used as menu boards along Hastings Street and a new under awning sign to
the entry of Catos Bar. Both new signs related to entertainment and dining uses established on
the site.
Signage forming part of the 2003 approval in association with the subject tenancy (Sofitel) related
to the replacement of three existing directional signs along the site’s eastern side boundary as
indicated in Figure 5 below.

2.2. Site Description
The subject site has an area of 9,946m2 with a dual frontage of 52m to Noosa Parade and 101m
to Hastings Street. Access arrangements comprise of vehicular access via a service road off
Noosa Parade and pedestrian access from Hastings Street.
The mixed use development includes retail and entertainment and dining uses at ground floor
along Hastings Street with the visitor accommodation component over the balance of the site.
2.3. Surrounding Land Uses
A mixed use development abuts the site to the west which includes a retail use at ground floor
along Hastings Street and the residential component to the rear. Similarly, a mixed use
development adjoins the site to the east which includes an array of retail and entertainment and
dining uses and a public car park accessed via Noosa Parade.

PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
3. ASSESSMENT
3.1. Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
The applicable planning scheme for the application is The Noosa Plan (16 September 2013). The
following sections relate to the provisions of the Planning Scheme.
Advertising Devices Code
In accordance with Probable Solution S7.2 of the Advertising Devices Code, the maximum
permissible illuminated signage is limited to one (1) sign per tenancy. The corresponding Specific
Outcome O7 of the code seeks to ensure an advertising device only incorporates illumination
where it is appropriate to its setting and is compatible with the visual amenity of the surrounding
area. The code further seeks to ensure illuminated signage does not cause environmental
nuisance and does not create glare, reflecting or flaring of colours.
The application seeks approval for an additional three illuminated wall signs which equates to a
total of four illuminated signs relevant to the tenancy (3 x illuminated wall signs & 1 illuminated
pylon way finding sign). Although exceeding the maximum permissible, the number of proposed
illuminated signage is consistent with the scale of the development noting the Sofitel
development is one of the largest in the vicinity. Should the site be redeveloped a far greater
amount of individual tenancies can be created over the site and permitted to have one illuminated
sign per tenancy under the self assessable provisions of the code.
The proposed illuminated signage is appropriate to the setting and the site’s resort use and will
retain the visual amenity of adjoining residential uses and mixed use developments. The
proposed wall signs fixed to the facia of the covered vehicular drop off area will be screened by
existing landscaping within the site in conjunction with mature character figs situated in a
landscaped strip between the Sofitel service road and Noosa Parade. The vegetation will provide
suitable screening to residential development to the east and adjacent the canal to the south.
Refer to Attachment 1.
Similarly, the proposed wall sign to be fixed to the facia of the building will be screened from
residential development to the east as depicted in Attachment 2, however, will be visible to
residents adjacent the canal to the south. Nevertheless, the proposed wall sign will not
significantly adversely impact the amenity of residential uses to the south given these residents
are approximately 150m away and the size of the sign.
4. CONSULTATION
4.1. IDAS Referral Agencies
Not applicable.
4.2. Other Referrals
Not applicable.
4.3. Public Notification
Not applicable.
5. CONCLUSION
Although exceeding the maximum permissible for illuminated signage per tenancy, the proposed
signage does not raise any planning concerns. The signage is justifiable given the scale of the
development. The proposed signage is appropriate to its setting and remains compatible with the
visual amenity of the surrounding area and is well screened from nearby residential uses.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 7 March 2017 in regard to the request to extend the relevant period
and to change Condition 31 of approval No. 132007.1259.05 for a Development Permit for
Material Change of Use – Visitor Accommodation Type 4 Conventional, Entertainment & Dining
Type 1 Food & Beverages, Retail Business Type 2 Shop & Salon, Commercial Type 1 Office
situated at 215A David Low Way, Peregian Beach and
A. Refuse the request to extend the relevant period for the following reasons:
1. The proposed development is inconsistent with The Noosa Plan and given the time
lapsed it is relevant to examine whether there are still grounds in the community’s
interest to justify the conflict with the planning scheme.
2. The community is unlikely to be aware of the development approval given the time
lapsed since the application was lodged in 2007; changes in the area; and the
shopping complex that has been constructed on a significant portion of the site.
3. The application would be likely to attract further properly made submissions were a
further development application lodged and publicly notified today, given:
a. the time lapsed since the application was lodged in 2007;
b. the changes that have occurred in Peregian Beach, including significant urban
growth west of Peregian Beach; and
c. the development cannot proceed in its current approved form and the change is
likely to result in a substantially different development.
4. The approved development in its current form cannot proceed as a shopping complex
has been constructed on a significant portion of the site and has superseded the
development approval. Substantial changes would be required to the development
approval for it to proceed.
B. Advise the applicant that the request to change Condition 31 must be made to the Planning
and Environment Court pursuant to the Sustainable Planning Act 2009.
REPORT
1. PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks a 2 year extension to the relevant period and a 2 year extension to the
sunset provision of the development approval. Condition 31 below outlines the current relevant
period and sunset provision for the development.
31. The Development Permit for a Material Change of Use lapses if the first change of use
has not started by 28 September 2016, and all works associated with the development
have been completed by 4 February 2018.
The applicant seeks Condition 31 to be amended to read as follows:
31. The Development Permit for a Material Change of Use lapses if the first change of use has
not started by 28 September 2016 28 September 2018, and all works associated with the
development have been completed by 4 February 2018 - 4 February 2020.
Under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, as the development approval was issued by the
Planning and Environment Court, Council is only able to extend the relevant period and the Court
is able to change the condition of approval in respect to the sunset clause. Given this
complication, advice is being sought from Council’s planning solicitor on how to frame Council’s
decision in this regard.

Section 42
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
2. SITE DETAILS
2.1. Background
Material Change of Use
An application (132007.1259) for a Material Change of Use for visitor accommodation,
restaurant, shops and office was originally refused by Council on 21 August 2009 but
subsequently settled on 12 February 2010 through the appeal process. The application attracted
2 properly made and 4 not properly made submissions. The approval was over 4 lots, 3 with
frontage to the David Low Way and a larger lot to the rear of these lots, all accessed from the
then Unnamed Road, which is now Sandpiper Court.
The approved development comprises a commercial building fronting the David Low Way, which
includes 306m² of restaurant, 387m² of retail uses on the ground/podium level and a low cost 58
bed visitor accommodation use to the first floor with parking underneath this building To the rear
of the site and behind the Peregian Beach Hotel, 2 three storey accommodation buildings
consisting of 32 x 3 bedroom units, pool/BBQ area and 30 individual 2, 3 and 4 bedroom “beach
shacks” are approved. The most western portion of the site is conditioned to be dedicated to
council as parkland for environmental purposes.
On 24 January 2012 a permissible change was issued by the Planning and Environment Court
(Appeal No. 4783 of 2011*). The primary changes included:
Staging the development into 3 stages, being:
o Stage 1 – commercial building fronting David Low Way and rehabilitation and
dedication of the parkland to Council.
o Stage 2 – The 2 larger visitor accommodation buildings (32 x 3 bedroom units) to the
rear of the site.
o Stage 3 – 30 Beach Shacks (2, 3 and 4 bedroom individual buildings); and
An updated Stormwater Management Plan to reflect the staging and the current best
practice water management objectives.
As part of this application to change the development approval, the court did not allow the
addition of juliette balconies and additional outdoor dining facilities to the commercial and visitor
accommodation building fronting David Low Way. The court did not agree the juliette balconies
and the outdoor dining areas constituted a permissible change pursuant to Sustainable Planning
Act 2009.
As such a new impact assessable application for a development permit to include juliette
balconies and additional outdoor dining (MCU12/0023) was lodged and subsequently approved
on 26 July 2012. The application attracted 198 properly made and 12 not properly made
submissions. Of the 198 properly made submissions, 81 objected and 117 supported the
proposal. The submitters were primarily concerned with noise generated from the outdoor dining
activities.
On 15 November 2013, Council agreed to extend the relevant period to 28 September 2016 and
extend the sunset provision to 4 February 2018 (Appeal No. 4139 of 2013).
Reconfiguring of a Lot
A Development Permit for Reconfiguring a Lot (152010.627) was approved by Council on 29
October 2010. This approval created the western lot required by the material change of use
approval to be dedicated as parkland for environmental purposes and 2 other lots, being one lot
for the commercial and visitor accommodation uses fronting David Low Way and the other lot for
the majority of the visitor accommodation uses located to the rear of the site.
Page 42 of 91
Section 43
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
This subdivision approval was subsequently changed in order for the IGA and associated shops
(MCU13/0251) to be wholly sited within one lot as the development was straddling the original
approved boundaries. The lots have been sealed by Council but to date the parkland and
commercial lot have not been registered at the titles office. Figure 1 below shows the original
approved plan and the approximate location of the existing commercial development.
Figure 1 – The red line indicates the approximate location of existing IGA and shops. The black
line indicates the original approved lot. Lot 3 is the proposed park for environmental purposes
which is sealed by Council but not registered with the titles office to date.

3. ASSESSMENT
3.1. Statutory Process
In accordance with Section 388 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, in deciding a request to
extend the relevant period, the assessment manager must only have regard to:
(a) the consistency of the approval, including its conditions, with current laws and
policies applying to the development, including, for example, the amount and type of
infrastructure contributions, or infrastructure charges payable under an infrastructure
charges schedule;
(b) the community’s current awareness of the development approval; and
(c) whether, if the request were refused-
(i) further rights to make a submission may be available for a further development
application; and
(ii) the likely extent to which those rights may be exercised; and
(d) the views of any concurrence agency for the approval…
The Planning Scheme’s requirements for the site remain generally the same as when the
application was originally lodged and as such the development remains inconsistent with the
Planning Scheme’s development intent for the site. The site is predominantly zoned Open Space
Recreation, with a portion of the site fronting David Low Way zoned Semi-Attached Housing. For
the area of the site zoned Open Space Recreation, the planning scheme seeks to maintain the
use of the site for the former caravan park and supports visitor accommodation units only where
associated with the caravan park use. Small scale commercial offices and medical offices are
supported for that part of the site zoned Semi-Attached Housing. The planning scheme also
seeks to ensure that buildings fronting David Low Way are of a domestic scale, visually pleasing
and consistent with the character of the area.
The application was originally refused on numerous grounds including but not limited to the
development being excessive for the site in terms of density, height, bulk and scale. The
development was also considered contrary to the Specific and Overall Outcomes of the Eastern
Beaches Locality Code which sought to protect and retain the caravan park for low cost visitor
accommodation needs. The applicant also relied on inadequate or irrelevant planning grounds to
justify the departure from the Planning Scheme.
Through the appeal process the development’s density, height, bulk and scale were reduced and
the development’s general presentation to the street significantly improved. It was also accepted
that the proposed visitor accommodation was a reasonable replacement for the caravan park as
it included low to mid-range cost visitor accommodation facilities. In terms of the commercial
aspect of the proposal, Council’s economic consultant at the time concluded ‘although ‘out of
centre’ the restaurant and retail facilities are appropriate components to the proposal. The visitor
accommodation would generate the demand and support the proposed retail and restaurant
facilities.’ The approved plans for the development are provided as Attachment 1.
A significant amount of time has lapsed since the original application was lodged in 2007 and it is
relevant to consider whether there are sufficient grounds for the development today given its
conflict with the Noosa Plan. Need has not been re-examined since the application was originally
lodged and no supporting documentation for the proposed visitor accommodation uses has been
submitted with this request. It is noted though that the applicant has lodged a further application
over the subject site seeking approval for a development which primarily comprises permanent
residents and significantly scaled back visitor accommodation. Changes in the economic
environment have also occurred in the past 10 years, which may affect need for the proposal.
Page 45 of 91
Section 46
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
Significant population growth (approx. 480 dwellings or 1300 population growth, 2006-2011 ABS
data) has also occurred to the west of Peregian Beach, with many of these residents recreating
and utilising facilities in Peregian Beach. Many of these new residents would be unlikely to be
aware of the development and were this application remade today, it is likely further new
submissions would be received from this community and residents of Peregian Beach raising
reasonable objection to the development.
While a marketing sign for the development was erected on site for some time, any awareness of
the development has likely waned as a different and separate development has been approved
and constructed on a portion of the site. An IGA supermarket and speciality shops have been
constructed over approximately a third of the site to the David Low Way frontage, removing the
approved commercial uses and low cost visitor accommodation components. The development
of this shopping complex means the proposed development has been superseded and cannot
proceed without substantial changes to the approval.
Concurrence Agency
The original application was referred to the Department of Environment and Heritage as a
concurrence agency for Unexploded Ordnance (UXO).
4. CONCLUSION
The proposal remains inconsistent with the current Planning Scheme. The applicant has not re-
visited or demonstrated a need still exists for the proposal and given the time that has lapsed, it
is also likely community awareness of the development has diminished. New residents would be
unaware of the development approval and if an identical development application were remade
today new submissions are likely to be lodged with Council.
Furthermore, a new unrelated development is now constructed on a portion of the site (IGA and
associated shops) and as such this development cannot proceed as approved.
The request to extend the relevant period and sunset provision is therefore recommended for
refusal.

REPORT
A report on this application to construct a deck on the northern side of the Noosa Marina was
presented to the Planning & Environment Committee meeting on 6 September 2016 and
subsequently deferred at the Ordinary Meeting to allow staff to hold further discussions with the
applicant on their future plans for the facility. Council staff subsequently met with the applicant
wherein additional information was provided by the applicant. This additional information was
presented to Council’s Planning & Environment Committee on 6 December 2016 wherein staff
advised that the construction of the deck was not well considered as the deck was a substantial
structure and had the potential to provide for expansion of the commercial uses on the site,
without giving due consideration to the impacts of the structure and expanded uses.
Council at its Ordinary Meeting on 15 December 2016 subsequently resolved to refuse the
Operational Works application for the following reasons:
1. The proposed deck does not comply with Overall Outcome and Specific Outcomes of the
Noosa Plan’s Watercourses Works Code and Tewantin and Doonan Locality Code.
2. The proposed deck is contrary to the “Purpose of Code” of the IDAS Code of the Coastal
Protection and Management Regulation 2003 and does not comply with Specific Outcomes
of the IDAS Code of the Coastal Protection and Regulation 2003.
3. The proposed development will create the potential to intensify the commercial uses by
increasing the available deck areas within the marina.
4. The proposed deck adds a substantial area and additional built form on the Noosa River, is
likely to increase traffic volumes on adjoining lands and there are insufficient parking
facilities available in the area
As a result of Council’s decision to refuse the application, the applicant has now lodged an
appeal with the Planning & Environment Court maintaining that the proposed deck meets
provisions of The Noosa Plan and the IDAS Code of the Coastal Protection and Management
Regulation 2003. The applicant seeks that the Planning & Environment Court approve the
application subject to reasonable and relevant conditions.
It is in order for Council to defend the appeal and the recommendation is worded accordingly.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 7 March 2017 regarding Planning & Environment Court Appeal
123/2017 and agree to defend the appeal.
REPORT
A report on a development application for a Reconfiguration of a Lot (1 Lot into 2 Lots & Access
Easement), situated at 2 David Low Way, Castaways Beach was considered by Council’s
Planning & Environment Committee on 6 September 2016 (Agenda Item 2, Page 36). At its
Ordinary Meeting on 15 September 2016, Council resolved to issue a Preliminary Approval for a
Reconfiguration of a Lot (1 Lot into 2 Lots & Access Easement).
Page 56 of 91
Section 57
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
The following reasons were identified for the issue of a Preliminary Approval in lieu of a
Development Permit:
1. A Bushfire Management Plan (BMP) was not submitted as part of the supporting material
for the development application. The BMP was required to address Medium Bushfire
Hazard that affects the northern and southern portions of the site in conjunction with
analysis of minimum vegetation setbacks to a proposed covenant and default building
envelopes.
2. An effluent disposal report was not submitted as part of the development application. The
effluent report was required in order to identify the capacity of existing onsite systems and
whether each system (including trench areas) are wholly located within each proposed lot
they intend to serve.
The applicant submitted representations on 27 September 2016 and provided a BMP and
effluent disposal report both of which are discussed below in more detail:
Bushfire Management Plan
The submitted BMP broadly addressed Council’s concerns regarding fire hazard and
management over the site. However, the BMP recommended minimum vegetation setbacks of
12m to any building area on proposed Lots 1 and 10m to proposed Lot 2.
As depicted in Attachment 1, an amended proposal plan was provided incorporating the
recommendations of the BMP which also included a 747m2 indicative building envelope to
proposed Lot 1 and a 648m2 envelope to proposed Lot 2. The recommended minimum
vegetation setback was also provided to the perimeter of each building envelope resulting in a
significant reduction to the proposed covenant.
Following negotiations with the applicant and various amendments to the proposal plans
comprising namely reductions to indicative building areas and enlargement of the proposed
covenant, agreement was reached and a Development Permit for a Reconfiguration of a Lot (1
Lot into 2 Lots & Access Easement) was issued on 6 December 2016. The negotiated
subdivision layout is provided in Attachment 2.
Effluent Disposal Report
The submitted effluent report confirmed existing systems onsite are substandard and do not meet
minimum industry standards. The matter was referred to Council’s Building and Plumbing Section
for investigation.
The effluent report confirmed existing systems onsite are wholly within each proposed lot they
intend to serve, with the disposal area located outside the agreed covenant area.
Following issue of a Negotiated Decision Notice for a Development Permit for a Reconfiguration
of a Lot (1 Lot into 2 Lots & Access Easement), an appeal was lodged with the Planning and
Environment Court on 16 January 2017 by the applicant. The appeal seeks a reduction to the
approved covenant area over both proposed lots as shown on the approved plans submitted by
the applicant.
It is in order for Council to defend the appeal and the recommendation is worded accordingly.

6 WALLACE PARK FLYING FOX MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
DOCUMENT INFORM AT ION

Attachments 1. Community Feedback Survey
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Flying Fox Management Officer to the Planning &
Environment Committee Meeting dated 7 March 2017 providing an update on the implementation
of the Wallace Park Flying Fox Management Plan and the costs to continue to implement the
Plan which will be considered during the 2017/18 budget process.
REPORT
1. BACKGROUND
The Grey-headed Flying-fox (Pteropus poliocephalus) is listed as vulnerable under the
Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act), and
recognised to have a declining population across its range. According to the EPBC Act Policy
Statement, camps are considered nationally important if they have contained ≥ 10,000 grey-
headed flying-foxes in more than one year in the last 10 years, or have been occupied by more
than 2,500 grey-headed flying-foxes permanently or seasonally every year for the last 10 years.
Since the beginning of the year, the Flying Fox Management Officer has identified between 305
and 1865 grey-headed flying-foxes routinely roosting in Wallace Park.
Due to the high conflict between flying-foxes and residents adjacent to Wallace Park, Noosa
Council engaged Ecosure to develop a Management Options Report and a Flying Fox
Management Plan. Based on recommendations from these reports and experience of other
management programs, Council implemented four main strategies:
1. Creation of a vegetative buffer through habitat clearing around the perimeter of the
Western and Southern sides of Wallace Park.
2. Installation and trial of a sprinkler deterrent system. Eight sprinklers were installed in the
canopy along a trial area on the Western perimeter to disturb and deter roosting flying-
foxes a further 15-20 metres and extend the size of the buffer zone.
3. Provision of a subsidised services initiative to provide residents within the high conflict area
vehicle and clothesline covers, automatic air fresheners, two free professional solar panel
cleans and free loaning of high pressure water cleaners.
4. Employment of a Flying Fox Management Officer to liaise with residents and implement
strategies 2 and 3
Page 61 of 91
Section 62
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
2. VEGETATIVE BUFFER ZONE
Vegetation was cleared for 10-15 metres between the rear of residential properties and the
commencement of the roosting habitat to shift the presence of flying-foxes away from the trees
overhanging properties. The area along the Western boundary was selected as it has the highest
level of conflict, with flying-foxes consistently utilising the south-western corner of the park in hot
weather due to the increased shade, and also due to pre-existing stormwater infrastructure
occurring in this area. Therefore, should any future maintenance be required, works will not
disturb habitat.
In some sections of the buffer zone, patches of vegetation were retained along the rear of
properties to provide a visual barrier for residents, to avoid direct vision of the flying foxes. At
these points the buffer size is at least 10 metres
3. SPRINKLER DETERRENT SYSTEM
A trial sprinkler deterrent system was installed along the south-western perimeter to disturb and
deter roosting flying-foxes in the area they most frequently utilise. Eight sprinklers were installed
in the canopy along 129 metres on the perimeter of Trial section 2, shown in Figure 1. The
sprinklers were timed to activate for 30 seconds at 8:00am every Monday, Wednesday, Friday
and Saturday for the first week to determine efficacy. This timing is within the guidelines of the
Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (DEHP) Code of Practice for the Flying-fox
roost management permit.
The initial trial was performed with two members of Flying Fox Rescue and Release to oversee
the impact of the sprinkler system on the wellbeing of the flying-foxes. Upon commencement of
sprinkler use, flying-foxes within the buffer zone responded by flying up and moving 20-25 metres
away from the sprinkler before quickly settling again. Most moved directly parallel to the spray
arc, while some moved 5-10 metres further north, only to shift parallel when the next sprinkler in
the sequence activated.
The timing of the sprinkler sequence has subsequently been manipulated after consultation with
several bat carers as to the optimal times to reduce potential for accidental dispersal and risk of
heat stress. A start time of 7:30am was considered optimal as this allows appropriate time for the
flying-foxes to settle within the roost and ensure only those within the spray arc are disturbed and
the entire colony is not dispersed. Similarly, this ensured that all noise from disturbances would
not affect residents too early in the morning.
As yet, there has been no habituation to the sprinkler deterrent system and it remains an
effective management technique. Should it occur, the sequence and timing of activation will be
manipulated.
The south western area of Wallace Park (the area adjacent to section 1 on the map) has been
the most highly utilised area within the park and extends across into the hospital grounds. The
densest understorey exists within this area and the flying-foxes have primarily occupied these
areas as their maternity camps and for cooling throughout the hottest months. Based on the
proximity of this area to both the largest congregation of flying-foxes and also the hospital
grounds, an extension of the SDS should be carefully implemented and continually monitored.

Section 63
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
Figure 1. Map of trial section and proposed expansion zones for the sprinkler deterrent system- Section 2 is
the current trial area and section 1 is the proposed expansion
Therefore, it is recommended that the system be expanded into this section, as per the Ecosure
Management Options Report and Management Plan, to alleviate conflict to those on the
Southern boundary. Furthermore, it is vital that continual monitoring is implemented to determine
the effectiveness of the SDS on this area, as well as meeting DEHP reporting requirements.
Installation of 6-8 sprinklers along the southern boundary will cost $8,500.
4. SUBSIDISED SERVICES INITIATIVE
In 2015/2016, Eurobodella Shire Council implemented a subsidised services program for 740
eligible properties, offering covers for cars, caravans, boats and clotheslines, removal of exotic
Cocos Palms, air fresheners for houses and cars, doormats for local businesses and free access
to high pressure water cleaners. Out of the 740 eligible properties, currently under 200 properties
have subscribed to the services. The Natural Resource Manager has reported a large increase in
community tolerance for the flying-fox colony.
Due to the success of the Eurobodella model in mitigating conflict issues, a public engagement
program was undertaken on 16 October 2016. A survey was performed to determine the interest
of affected residents in proposed subsidised services and gain feedback on their main issues, if
any, with flying-foxes in the highest conflict areas around Wallace Park.
From these consultations, Council offered a subsidised services initiative that provided automatic
home air fresheners, car exterior covers, clothesline covers, professional solar panel cleaning
and free access to high pressure water cleaners, to 55 residences within the high conflict area.
Page 63 of 91
Section 64
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
The program was commenced when flying-foxes consistently inhabited the south-western portion
to pre-empt the time LRFF historically arrive. At time of writing, 25 out of the 55 residences have
subscribed to at least one of the services provided (43.6%) (Figure 2). Table 1 shows that the
total costs of services provided was $6,218, with an average of $248.72 worth of services
provided to each subscriber.

Figure 2. Properties eligible for the subsidised services initiative and current subscribers
Green - Subscribed & Yellow – Eligible
Based on residents’ feedback it is recommended that the program be continued in 2017/18. In
addition, residents have also requested that Council consider funding other items that have been
damaged, such as replacing an awning or gazebo and professional roof cleaning. Not all
residents have requested these items, but given the impact from droppings, it is considered
reasonable that a subsidy of $100 for discretionary items be considered. The budget required to
continue the current program (with the inclusion of the new discretionary subsidy) is shown in
Table 2. No more pressure cleaners (HPWC) or covers are required for those already
subscribed, as the longevity of these products has been guaranteed for the duration of the next
financial year. Continued offering of air freshener refills and solar panel cleaning have been
budgeted based on the same uptake as the trial period. Maintenance budget is estimated for any
possible incidental costs for the HPWC.

Table 2 - Cost estimate of continued services in initial area
Due to the success of this program, it is recommended that the boundary of the subsidy area be
extended to include 30 further properties, as shown in figure 3, and offer the same services to the
initial residences. This would increase the range of the program from 75 metres to 91-185 metres
from the boundary of the habitat and is based on further feedback from residents. These
properties were selected as they are situated adjacent to the areas where the majority of the
flying-foxes inhabit in the south and where they primarily fly out in the north. Furthermore, the
remainder of the properties within each of the gated communities to the north were included to
ensure the entirety of the estate had access to the program. Based on current subscription rates,
it is predicted that a further 13 properties will subscribe from the expanded area. Table 3 details
the budget required for the expansion area.

On 20 February 2017, the Flying Fox Management Officer performed a face-to-face interview
with individual residents to provide feedback. Twenty residences provided feedback on the day
and those not home were provided with forms to return to Council. Public consultation was
undertaken to determine residents’ satisfaction with the management techniques utilised, their
tolerance of the flying foxes and whether their overall amenity was improved.
Many residents were still concerned with the issues related to flying fox fly-out over their
properties. It is hoped that addition of further properties in the subsidised service initiative and
inclusion of a broader range of services will sufficiently mitigate this issue, as the flight path itself
cannot be altered through any current/known management techniques.
Residents on the southern boundary responded that their amenity had not been greatly improved
as flying foxes still inhabited areas close to the rear of their property. As such, they showed great
interest in the SDS being extended into their section.
Residents indicated the impact on their amenity from the flying foxes in the past was 7.72 out of
10, with 10 being extreme impact (Figure 4). In contrast, current impact was noted as 2.84 out of
10. This rapid decline since October 2016 was largely attributed to Council’s increased
management in the area, with appreciation that lower abundance of flying foxes also contributed.

Section 68
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
Similarly, residents identified that their level of satisfaction with Council’s management of the
conflict was 2.37 out of 10. Since greater focus was provided since October 2016, this
satisfaction rating has risen to 7.03 out of 10 at present. Furthermore, the provision of the
subsidised services program was given a rating of 7.58 out of 10 for resident satisfaction.
Residents were also asked to comment on whether the appointment of a Flying Fox
Management Officer responsible for managing the conflict and be a point-of-contact was
beneficial. Of the twenty respondents, 95% of respondents claimed that this had provided a
positive change, with 70% strongly agreeing with the statement and only one person claiming it
made no change.
When asked whether they were satisfied with the current level of communication with Council
about flying-foxes, 90% of respondents agreed with the statement, with 35% of all respondents
strongly agreeing.
Many respondents also provided feedback suggesting that greater vegetative manipulation was
required to reduce canopy connectivity or understorey density to discourage roosting in some
areas. It is recommended that further investigation should be undertaken into the impacts of
understorey management on flying-fox distribution, should the SDS not appropriately alleviate the
concerns of nearby residents.

6. MANAGEMENT COSTS
The Flying-Fox Management Officer's role is to implement the key recommendations of the
Ecosure Management Options Report. These are to trial a sprinkler system to 'nudge' the flying-
foxes away from residential areas and deliver a subsidy program to mitigate the impacts of
Flying-foxes for neighbours (droppings and smell).
Page 68 of 91
Section 69
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
Although in early stages of the trial, the sprinkler system appears to be successful and it is
appropriate to expand the sprinkler system across other residential boundaries as per the
Ecosure Management Options Report. The subsidy program also has had a positive uptake by
neighbours and has improved relations between Council and residents. Subsidies include
cleaning of solar panels, free use of water pressure cleaners, air fresheners, car covers and
clothes line covers
Based on the ongoing need for monitoring and management of the aforementioned strategies
and community feedback, it is recommended that the Flying-Fox Management Officer's position
be continued for another 6 months to 4 October 2017. This will support the delivery of the
sprinkler system and continue to provide subsidies for residents.
In addition, the Flying-Fox Management Officer would be expected to:
respond to customer requests and complaints;
draft media releases
monitor the location, numbers and behaviour of Flying-foxes, particularly in high conflict
sites such as Wallace Park
work with fauna care volunteers to deal with sick, injured orphaned and dead bats
participate in the sprinkler system trial and monitor its effectiveness as guided by the
Flying-fox management plan and permit
work with Environment Health Officers with the aerial mosquito treatment program around
Goat Island to ensure that bats are not dispersed to residential areas
participate in educational events such as National Bat Night
design interpretive material such as fact sheets, signs and displays.
If time permits the Flying Fox Management Officer could also assist with responses to other
wildlife matters such as bird attacks (magpies and pee-wees), marine animal strandings (turtles,
whales, dolphins), reptile issues in public areas (snakes) and wildlife mass mortality events
(sooty shearwaters, bats and heat stress events) and implementation of Koala Conservation Plan
actions
Costs for Level 5 position:
To end of financial year 16/17: $23,299 (to be considered in Budget Review 3)
Next financial year 17/18: $23,299 (to be considered in 2017/18 budget process)
Total: $46,598

That Council note the report by the Principal Environment Officer to the General Committee
Meeting dated 16 November 2015 and:
A. Thank the submitters for their comments on the Ecosure flying fox management options
report;
B. Agree to implement the flying fox management actions as detailed in the report, including
funding of $23,500 for buffer creation in priority management areas as well as interpretive
signage (with funding to be sourced at the next quarterly budget review);
C. Review the effectiveness of flying fox deterrent and camp re-establishment trials currently
being undertaken by other Councils and research organisations and provide a future report
to Council; and
D. Continue to monitor the flying foxes and provide educational material for residents and
visitors.
Finance & Risk
If Council resolved to proceed with the continuation of the current Subsidised Services Initiative
and inclusion of a case by case provision, operational funding of $8,500 would need to be
considered in the next budget for ongoing storage, supervision and provision of the subsidised
services to residents. A new initiative request has been submitted for consideration in the
2017/18 budget process.
If the recommended extension of the program is undertaken, operational funding of $6,000 would
need to be considered in the next budget. This is based on current subscription rates and costs
during the trial period. A new initiative request has been submitted for consideration in the
2017/18 budget process.
To deliver the Subsidised Services Initiative and continue with the extension to the sprinkler
system the current Flying-fox Management Officer position will need to be extended to 4 October
2017 at a cost of $46,598. The additional $23,299 required to the end of 2016/17 is to be
considering during Budget Review 3. The remaining $23,299 required in the 2017/18 financial
year will be considered during the budget process.
There is a risk that if LRFF return in large numbers again, the services offered may not be
sufficient to address residents’ concerns and improve their tolerance, and further services may
need to be explored through continued public engagement.
The flying-foxes may independently vacate the Wallace Park camp at some time and/or relocate
to another urban or rural camp.

Attachments 1. Six Monthly Progress Report from Noosa Biosphere Reserve
Foundation Board
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Chief Executive Officer to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 7 March 2017 and note the progress report to Council by the Noosa
Biosphere Reserve Foundation for the six-month period to 31 December 2016 provided at
Attachment 1 to the report.
REPORT
As Council is aware, the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation (NBRF) was established by
Council in 2015.
Council has two roles with the NBRF Board. Firstly, it has the right to appoint one Director of the
Board with Mayor Wellington being the current appointee. Secondly, the Council provides
funding under a Funding Agreement entered into on 1 June 2015. Under that funding
agreement, NBRF is required to provide a number of reports and information to Council.
Council has now received the six monthly report from the NBRF Board pursuant to section 5.2 (b)
of the Funding Deed which is attached to this report for the information of Council.
The Funding Agreement between the Council and NBRF includes a number of reporting and
other requirements in clauses 4 and 5 of that Deed. The current status of some of those key
requirements are set out below:
Clause 4.2 – requirement for NBRF to seek Council’s approval before NBRF commits to any
purchase, contract, undertaking or activity that has financial commitments beyond the period
of approved funding where Council funding is required. NBRF has complied with this
requirement by seeking Council’s approval (resolution in December 2015) for its multi-year
projects.
Clause 5.1 (a) – a requirement to develop a management plan for the Noosa Biosphere
Reserve in accordance with the management principles set out in Schedule 7 of the
Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Regulation 2000. Subsequent to
entering into the Funding agreement with NBRF, we became aware that this requirement only
applies to Biosphere Reserves that were managed by the Commonwealth e.g. Uluru. That
legislative requirement does not apply to non-Commonwealth administered Biospheres. As
such, this requirement is not needed for the Noosa Biosphere Reserve.
Page 74 of 91
Section 75
PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 7 MARCH 2017
Clause 5.1 (b) – Develop an Operational Plan and Budget aligned with the objectives for the
Company and the Public Trust for each financial year and submit to Council for review no
later than three months before the beginning of each financial year. In accordance with
advice provided in December 2016, NBRF have advised that they will not need to draw down
on all of their operational funding for the 2016/17 financial year. As such, NBRF have drawn
down $70,000 of their operational funding for 2016/17 and have not drawn down the balance
operational funding of $70,000 resulting in a saving to Council’s budget (general rate funded).
The project funding of $250,000 for 2016/17 has been drawn down (environment levy
funded). In relation to the 2017/18 budget, the CEO is meeting with the Chairperson of
NBRF shortly to discuss their proposed budget for next year. This can be considered by
Council as part of the 2017/18 budget process.
Clause 5.1 (e) – In conjunction with the Council, develop appropriate key performance
indicators that best reflect the performance of the NBRF against the objects of the Public
Trust and submit to Council for review no less than 3 months before the beginning of each
financial year. Council may recall that NBRF reported to Council in its last annual report on a
range of KPIs that related to specific projects using a traffic light system. The CEO believes
that there is an opportunity to improve those KPIs and will be meeting with the Chairperson of
the NBRF Board shortly to formalise the final set of KPIs which needs to be agreed by both
parties. This was intended to be finalised prior to this time but has been delayed by other
priorities.
Clause 5.2 (a) – Prepare an annual report for each financial year and submit to Council no
later than 30 November each year. The annual report is to include evidence that the funding
is being successfully applied to the objects of the company and public trust and particularly to
the delivery of projects funded by the Council contribution. The NBRF Board reported on this
at the end of 2016 and that report was provided to Council in December 2016. (Note that an
annual report was not required in November 2015 as there was no Council funding provided
in 2014/15 – refer Council resolution dated 7 May 2015).
Clause 5.2 (b) – Prepare a progress report against the utilisation of the funding towards the
NBRF program and performance against agreed key performance indicators to 31 December
each year (6 month progress report) and submit to Council no later than 31 January each
year. This report attaches the NBRF 6 monthly report to 31 December. Of interest is the
proposed establishment of a Governance Sub-Committee and new members of the Board.
Clause 5.2 (c) – Provide an audited financial report (which identifies the use of the funding
provided by Council for the NBRF program). This was provided to the December 2016
Council meeting.

Finance & Risk
The purpose of this report is to provide the Council with a copy of the NBRF six-monthly report.
Obviously, the financial risk occurs if the NBRF does not deliver good outcomes in accordance
with the purpose of the funding. The annual report provides Council with details of progress with
particular projects being facilitated by the NBRF Board.

QUATERLY REPORT TO COUNCIL — Q2 FY 2017
1. Introduction
On behalf of the Noosa Biosphere Foundation (NBRF), | am pleased to provide Noosa
Council with an update on activities by the NBRF during the period round year end 2016.
We last met with Council in December 2016 and provided you with a financial report and
narrative on activities from 2015 to 30 June 2016.
We have held our first Board meeting for 2017 on 3 February 2017; key matters arising
from that meeting are included in this quarterly update report.
2. Appointments
We are fortunate to have three professionals join us in different capacities following our
Board meeting on 3 February 2017.
Nick Heath — Strategy Officer
Nick has agreed to join us as a consultant on a part time basis helping
the Board to focus on a few key issues, including the need to develop
and execute on a well-defined strategy, developing relationships which
will enhance our fundraising opportunities and delivering on an
advocacy position after our Fish Management Workshops.
Nick brings a wealth of experience pertinent to these aspirations of the NBRF, in particular
his experiences with WWF, the Barrier Reef and many years working with governmental
groups, including Ministers of the Environment. (Refer Attachment 1 for CV - hard copy
provided in Clirs Room)
Karen Hussey joins the Board
2 The NBRF has developed a close, working relationship with the Global
Change Institute for a number of months through 2016. Several of the
Board noted that Karen’s exceptional background and her engagement
A i with us meant her joining the Board would help fill out some of the skill
/ matrix needed for the Board going forward in 2017.
Consequent to Rowland Hill not being able to re-join the Board at our last AGM in
December 2016, we now have 7 members of a diverse but complementary skill set on the
Board.
We also resolved that, in future, we will seek broader, public input to Board Membership. In
this connection, the Board also approved in principle, the establishment of a Governance
Sub Committee to formalise a number of our policies and processes to ensure we are able
to fulfil our Charter most effectively. (Refer Attachment 2 for CV - hard copy provided in Cllrs
Room)

; Kerri Watson — KPI Officer
: -\ Kerri made contact with the Foundation last year prior to her relocating
a> s to Noosa late January 2017. Following several conversations during this
o period, Kerri has agreed in principle to provide part time consulting
WW services in respect of our execution on currently nominated KPI’s;
S namely, Funding, Projects, Governance and UNESCO renomination.
We have reached agreement on a redundancy package with our former Executive Officer
and are now able to fill in some of the gaps in our office capabilities.
The more immediate requirement of work for Kerri will revolve around engagement on the
UNESCO 10th year anniversary process; commencing with a joint review of (form filling)
requirements with NCBA and representatives from UNESCO/Canberra on 19th and 20th
February. (Refer Attachment 3 for CV - hard copy provided in Cllrs Room)

Rachel Lyons and Phil Moran gave a presentation updating progress on the 4 components
of the program; essentially, the LIDAR study results are in which show quite dramatic levels
of soil movement over time; the analysis of the study has been completed and ready for
peer review by Professor Hart (as agreed with The Thomas Foundation — Rowland Hill); an
area for “show case” remediation has been established and substantial work completed on
the property; and a reasonably significant area of weed/cat claw control has been
conducted. (Refer Attachment 4 for summary).
The next stage is to determine how the learnings can be rolled out in scale.

Activity 1 - LIDAR Change Analysis & lo» a :
Area Prioritisation eet |
Activity overview — to identify areas within the catchment that kgs :
are impacted by soil loss and deposition, including hill slopes and ‘tars
creek lines. This is undertaken by LIDAR (Light Detection &
Ranging) which uses a near-infrared laser to map the land from we
aircraft. The project will compare imagery from 2008 to 2015to ~—|s
identify active erosion and deposition areas. A prioritization ieee
exercise will then inform the problem sites in greatest need of sie =
remediation in the Catchment. ae
