RE:     Response to Further Information Request (RAL26/0015) Reconfiguring a Lot (1 into
        2) lots – situated at 434 Lake Cooroibah Rd, Cooroibah

Council issued a further information request on 11 June 2026. The following additional information
provides a response to Council’s request items:
        1. Provide amended subdivision plans that clearly identify the extent and location
           of a proposed bushfire management covenant over the affected lots.
        2. The plans must demonstrate that the nominated building envelopes can achieve
           a maximum BAL-29 rating, having regard to separation distances from classified
           vegetation and provision of an asset protection zone (APZ) consistent with the
           performance outcomes of the Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code.
        3. Include supporting annotations or the amend the submitted Bushfire
           Management Plan to demonstrate how the proposed covenant and building
           envelope arrangements will ensure ongoing compliance with the performance
           outcomes and acceptable outcomes of the Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code.

Please find attached updated subdivision plan including a 12.4m bushfire setback to the building
envelope for proposed lot 7. Discussions between Josh Lee and Noosa Council environment
officers indicate the need for a Bushfire management covenant has been waivered, rather an
adjusted BLE should be included offset a min of 12.4m from mapped classified vegetation. This will
ensure a maximum BAL 29 construction standard is achieved anywhere in the envelope.

        4. Provide amended subdivision plans that clearly delineate on-site effluent
           disposal areas for each proposed lot and associated building envelope.
        5. The nominated effluent disposal areas must:
               a. Be of adequate size and configuration to accommodate an on-site
                  wastewater treatment and disposal system;
               b. Be suitably located having regard to site constraints, including slope,
                  waterways, wetlands, vegetation, and buffers;
               c. Demonstrate compliance with relevant provisions of the Dwelling house
                  code, Works code, and any applicable overlay codes (e.g. Environmental
                  Significance Overlay Code, where applicable); and
               d. Not conflict with building envelopes, access, bushfire management
                  areas (including APZs), easements, or other infrastructure requirements.
               e. Where necessary, provide supporting technical information (e.g. a land
                  suitability assessment or wastewater design report) to demonstrate the
                  long-term viability of the proposed effluent disposal areas.

Please find attached Wastewater report and soil testing for the location of advanced Secondary
Treatment infrastructure within the building envelope (~2m in diameter) and for the location of the
irrigation areas outside of the envelope. The irrigation areas are able to be located within the flood
hazard area as it has been treated and able to be released into the environment. This is compliant
with the Flood Hazard Overlay requirement for ensuring the 1,000m2 building envelope area above
the flood hazard area and effluent disposal infrastructure.

Proposed Lot 8 is existing with a house located on the top of the hill with an existing effluent disposal
system. There are no changes to this house and or the location of the existing house, with no
building envelope proposed or required.
