Protection. You need to be aware that there could be vegetation with high environmental values over
the site. The application should be accompanied by a vegetation survey of the site which identifies
the location and status of the vegetation and whether it warrants protection.

Medium Bushfire Hazard Area of the Natural Hazards Overlay generally affects all of the part of lot 1
and the north western corner of Lot 6, whilst Low Potential Acid Sulfate Soils Area affects the
western area of the part of Lot 1. Given the bushfire mapping over the site, your intention to engage
a specialist consultant to address any issues / requirements (buffer, tracks etc) in relation to this
matter is supported.

Notes:
The following development parameters apply to the subject land:-

Building Height - A maximum building height of 2 storeys and 8 metres above natural ground level

From initial consideration of the section plans at the meeting it appears that the Independent Living
Unit Apartment buildings non-complying with building height in storeys. These buildings could be
interpreted as 3 storey, due to the basement extending greater than 1 metre above natural ground
level. The proposal should be changed to comply; otherwise you should supply sufficient justification
for a relaxation of the building height with the lodgement of the application.

Population Density - The Noosa Plan does not identify a population density for the proposed use on
the subject site. However you are advised that draft amendments have been prepared as part of
Second Round Amendments to The Noosa Plan, which include maximum population density of 320
persons per hectare exclusively for the purposes of Residential Aged Care and 160 persons per
hectare for any other form of Retirement & Special Needs Housing. Whilst these amendments are
