FURTHER REPORT - MCU21/0110 - APPLICATION FOR MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE - RESORT COMPLEX AND ANICILLARY BAR, FOOD AND DRINK OUTLET, OUTDOOR SPORT AND RECREATION, AND CLUB (MINOR EXTENSION TO EXISTING CLUBHOUSE) AT 61 NOOSA SPRINGS DRIVE, NOOSA HEADS (REFERRED FROM PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE DATED 6 MAY 2025) · ATTACHMENT 3 - MCU21/0110 - OFFICER'S REPORT 11 July 2023

               The landscaping has been designed to meet bushfire requirements including specific low
               flammability planting within higher risk areas.
               As identified above within the bushfire section the landscape concept plan is required to be
               amended to include an additional section that includes the 5m turfed area to ensure bushfire safety.
               The proposed landscaping is supported subject to relevant conditions.
               Voluntary Offset
               The applicant has proposed to offset the loss of vegetation with the offset planting to occur in 2
               locations on the golf course Offset Areas A and B). It is proposed to plant 120 koala habitat tree
               (eg. E.tereticornis or similar) and 25 she-oaks (glossy black cockatoo feed trees).
               The proposed offset areas are detailed in the following image.




                                                  Figure 17 – Proposed offset areas.

               Offset area A will not significantly increase the bushfire hazards within the area and as such will
               not increase the bushfire risk to the adjacent people and properties within ‘The Fairways’ residential
               estate. This is due to maintained areas of the community tile scheme that will buffer the offset area
               and be continuously maintained. Further to this the bushfire consultant has provided additional
               recommendations to be undertaken within Offset area A:
               •   No additional plantings be undertaken within 30 metres of an existing structure within the
                   Fairways CTS
