080630 FINAL TP Assessment Report.pdf [As Published] · 132008.1128

There are no existing buildings on the site and all proposed buildings are to be
constructed as new with views from the site across the vegetated wetlands of the
national park.

The principal vehicular access to the site is from Grasstree Court to Ben Lexcen Drive
and up to David Low Way which connects directly to Noosa Heads and rest of
Sunshine Coast via the Motorway and Bruce Highway.

Stormwater drainage is directed to two large bio-remediation pits, one on the
western edge of the Lot 1 for the Retirement Village and another on the northern
edge of Lot 6 for the Aged Persons Home.

Development of the site allows for north-south orientation of most dwellings
although some have been oriented east-west to make most of views, access and
topography.

There are no significant external noise nuisance sources nor does the proposed
development emit any significant noises internally.

The site will be fenced to adjoining residential property boundaries and other
appropriate fencing around the perimeter of the site adjoining conservation areas to
allow for fauna movements.

Easements for the purposes of access for bushfire management are to be considered
although none have been proposed at this stage.

The existing constructed but un-gazetted road (one way slip lane) from Ben Lexcen
Drive to Grasstree Court from the south will be closed as part of the development
and rebuilt within the existing road corridor immediately to the north of the
proposed new lot 9.

No features of environmental, cultural or heritage significance have been identified
on the site although the most notable quality about the site would be its strategic
location close to existing services including public transport, shops and a church,
other residential settlement and its proximity to and views of Noosa National Park.

2.5 Site Constraints & Opportunities

Under The Noosa Plan, the majority of the southern half of the site is zoned as Open
Space Conservation. This zone generally excludes development or the subdivision of
freehold lots, and no development is proposed within this zone. The remainder of
the site is zoned as Community Services. The development proposed within this zone
is consistent with the overall outcomes of the Community Services Zone, as it
qualifies as multiple housing type 3 — retirement and special needs.
