‘iparian Buffer.

 

Environmental Protection
Vegetation

01 Vegetation of local origin on premises identified
as Environmental Protection? or Riparian Buffer on
the Biodiversity Overlay Maps OM1.1 to OM9.1, is
retained and conserved in its present form or
improved to ensure its ongoing contribution to the
natural resources and biological diversity of Noosa
Shire;

OR

02 Interference with vegetation on land committed
for development, only occurs where that part of the
land to be cleared is to—

a) accommodate a house site area and any
necessary effluent disposal system, where no
other suitable cleared or partially cleared area is
available on the premises; :

b) provide. for reasonable and necessary access to
a building or structure; or

c} provide for the reasonable and necessary
control of fire risk to a building or structure.

Environmental Protection category

Vegetation that falls within the Environmental

Protection category comprises regional ecosystems

that possess at least one of the following

environmental values or criteria—

* The regional conservation status under the
Queensland Vegetation Management Act 1999
is “Endangered”;

+. It forms habitat for rare, threatened or protected
flora species, as identified in Vegetation of

 

$1.1 No interference with vegetation8 within areas
identified as Environmental Protection or Riparian
Buffer on the Biodiversity Overlay Maps OM1.1 to
OM9.1;

OR

$2.1 Where interference with vegetation is for the

purpose of constructing a Detached house, Type

1 Relative or Employee use, or Ancillary

dwelling unit—

a) the interference with vegetation only occurs
where there are no other suitable cleared or
partially cleared areas on the premises
available for the location of a house site area
due to constraints on the property including its
location within or partially within an area—

i. identified on another overlay map; or

ii, subject to steep slopes; or

ii. subject to access restrictions for vehicles
or services; or

iv. subject to effluent disposal restrictions;
and

b) areas of lesser importance in terms of
biodiversity and habitat values are utilised, to
the greatest extent practicable; and

¢) for freehold lots 0.3ha or less— interference
with vegetation does not extend beyond 3m of
a building or structure where the interference

 

 

The subject site does not contain and areas identified on the site
as Environmental Protection. Refer to Easter Beaches
Biodiversity Overlay (Map OM4.1)

The Regional Ecosystems Mapping 2003 recognises that the
westem portion of the site has a “not of concern’ ecosystem
located on it. The site is identified as having no ‘Environmental
Protection’ areas.

The proposed development has assessed the vegetation located
on the site and has restricted development in the westem third of
the site which has contains existing native species and will be
revegetating the protected area to help enhance the buffer to the
National Park to the west of the subject site. Refer to Appendix M —
Ecological Assessment
