MCU14/0056 - Town Planning Report

report

= The south-eastern extent of the site is mapped within the Environmental Protection Area and
Riparian Buffer under the Noosa Plan. The majority of the Environmental Protection Area is
proposed to be protected and with an additional 10 m buffer is proposed between the existing
tree drip line and the development footprint. Whilst a small portion of the development is
proposed to encroach the north-west corner of the mapped Environmental Protection Area, this
area is not identified to contain riparian vegetation and environmental values associated with the
site will be maintained.

" Mapping indicates that the Riparian Buffer Area overlays cleared vegetation on the site adjacent
to the waterway. Site surveys have identified that this area has been extensively cleared and
maintained and holds limited to no ecological value.

= Anumber of trees identified as native local species will be removed from the northern boundary
adjacent to Environmental Protection Area. These trees impede visual access when entering and
existing the site from Myall Street. Compensatory landscaping along Ferrell’s Road with native
trees will provide permanent habitat opportunities for terrestrial and avi-fauna species visiting
the site.

The report recommends that a Vegetation Clearing and Management Plan (VCMP) and Fauna
Management Plan (FMP) should form part of a broader management document submitted as part of the
Operational Works application.

Overlay OM 3.3 is addressed within the attached Engineering report. It concludes that based on flood
mapping provided by Noosa Council, there are no flooding impacts affecting the site.
