                 Management objectives: -                              Tables 3 to 8 below provide a description of
                                                                       each of the fire management units identified

                 Table 2 – Fire Management Unit 1
                 Description              This unit encompasses the Doonan Waste Management Centre including
                                          the land fill area and all, structures within the centre.
                                          Small areas of narrow vegetation which has been retained along the sites
                                          southern boundary have also been included within the area.
                                          This FMU includes the powerline alignment even while it is not on the
                                          property and the small triangle of the property south of the powerline and
                                          north of Emu Mountain Road
                                          The western edge of the Unit abuts Unit 2 which forms both a visual and
                                          dust management buffer to the Eumundi – Noosa Road and properties on
                                          the western side of that road. The northern boundary abuts FMU2 and
                                          FMU3.
                                          The land to the south of the powerline alignment has also been included
                                          into FMU1.
                                          The structures in the north-western corner of the facility are located less
                                          than 5 metres from the adjacent vegetation. While this structure is a
                                          storage shed, it potentially contains flammable materials and substances
                                          from time to time and as such are at risk from a bushfire event.
                 Access to FMU               Via the main access point from the Eumundi – Noosa Road and
                                              internal vehicle roadways
                                             Via FT1 which provides separation and access around he current and
                                              proposed re-developed waste management centre service and
                                              administrative area.
                                             Limited access may be available off the round-about at the junctions
                                              of Emu Mountain Road and Walter Hay Drive. However this access
                                              may be restricted from time to time by access over and through the
