2208-30467 SRA - Amended response - with conditions

                                                                                               2208-30467 SRA



Attachment 2—Changed reasons for decision to impose conditions

The reasons for the SARA’s decision are:
    The application is for a development permit for a material change of use for short-term
     accommodation (16 eco-cabins).
    The development is located at 142 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads, also known as Lot 203 on
     SP267424, Lot 3 on SP126203, Lot 0 on SP203415, Lot 0 on SP203417 and Lot 200 on SP267421
     and has frontage to Noosa Drive.
    The eco-cabins are proposed to be developed on Lot 3 with vehicle access via the existing resort on
     Lot 203.
    The development site (Lot 3) has mapped koala habitat area.
    The proposed short-term accommodation will interfere with the mapped koala habitat area resulting
     in 54 non-juvenile koala habitat trees being removed.
    SARA has assessed the development application against the State Development Assessment
     Provisions (SDAP), version 3.0, specifically State code 25: Development in the South East
     Queensland koala habitat areas.
    SARA finds that the development can comply with State code 25, subject to conditions to:
         ensure the development is carried out generally in accordance with the plans of development
          submitted with the application.
       ensure clearing of koala habitat area is only undertaken where is has been approved by this
          referral agency response.
       ensure a conservation outcome is achieved where a significant residual impact is occurring to
          koala habitat.
       ensure appropriate infrastructure is established to support safe koala movement through the
          development.
       ensure all measures are taken to avoid injury or death of koala’s during the clearing activities.
       manage compliance processes and procedures.
    An amended site plan includes revised layout and configuration of the eco-cabins resulting
     in a reduce number of 33 non-juvenile koala habitat trees being removed.
