Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Koala Conservation
A search of the EPA website for Koala Habitat Areas has revealed the following:

Existing Lot 6 —- Urban Koala Area (UKA)
Proposed Lot 9 — Koala Sustainability Area (KSA)
Remainder existing Lot 1 — Koala Conservation Area (KCA)

As part of the development involves land identified in the South East Queensland
Plan as being in a KSA and KCA, under the Nature Conservation Act 1992, the
application is therefore referable to the EPA as a concurrence agency, as it involves
both an increase in the number of lots and the clearing of native vegetation over an
area greater than 2500sqm as well as a new building and any reasonably associated
structure with a total footprint greater than 1000sqm.

Wetlands and Conservation Estate

 

A search of the data base of referable areas under Schedule 2 of the Integrated
Planning Regulations in relation to the above mentioned property has found that the
property:
e is in or within 100 m of a referable wetland (palastrine and remnant
ecosystems that contain 51-80% wetland) AND
e isin or within 100m of the conservation estate (Noosa National Park) BUT
e is not adjacent to a place listed on the Queensland Heritage Register.

The application is therefore referable to the EPA as an Advice Agency for both the
ROL and MCU in regards to Wetlands and Conservation Estate.
