      i.    not include burning or burying disposal.
      j.    have mulch for reuse in landscape works where suitable.
      k.    have mulch stockpiles no larger than 1,000 m3, 2.5 m in height and with 10m

            (*refer advisory note)
34.   All construction activities and associated works must be managed in a manner that
      minimises impacts to the park areas, vegetation on the road reserves and retained
      vegetation.
35.   Any damage to the park or road reserve vegetation as a consequence of construction
      activities associated with this approval must be rectified prior to the works being accepted
      on-maintenance.
The Enforcement Notice was issued pursuant to the Planning Act 2016 and required the
developer to undertake the following:
1.    Immediately cease clearing of vegetation on the road reserve
2.    Suitably stabilise the site to:
      a.    prevent movement of soils/sand from the disturbed areas
      b.    ensure the short term and long term stability of the road reserve
3.    Lodge an application for a Development Permit for Operational Woks to reinstate koala
      food trees on the road reserve adjacent 105 Resort Drive, Noosa heads
4.    Undertake rehabilitation of the area cleared of vegetation on the road reserve adjacent 105
      Resort Drive, Noosa Heads
The Enforcement Notice further advised that failure to do so may lead to Council commencing
proceedings in the Planning & Environment Court or the issue of a Penalty Infringement Notice or
prosecution.
In response to the Enforcement Notice the developer advised that they are focused on
“…delivering a high quality outcome that will be an exemplar of design excellence for the Noosa
Council area. In particular, we have made considerable effort to design the development so that
it achieves positive visual amenity and ecologically sustainable outcomes into the future. In this
regard we previously submitted to Council detailed landscape concept plans and a visual
assessment which shows the extensive tree retention, rehabilitation and landscaping proposed
along the Resort Drive frontage. Importantly, the visual assessment shows the vegetation along
Resort Drive at planting, after 5 years and at maturity.”
Some plans from the visual assessment are included below for Council’s reference.
