S

Visitor accommodation is more concentrated than in the Easi Visitor
Precinct and will include Laguna Lodge, associated Guest Lodges and
recreation facilities;

Management, administrative, service and-maintenance functions ‘for
the Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal are undertaken;

The southern part of the West Visitor Precinct serves visitors travelling
by motor home; and

Buffer zones are identified to critical edges.

The Central Conservation Precinct of the Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism
Portal is proposed to be a conservation and open space precinct accessible by
the public that:

€

Supports a wetland ecosystem in the northern Conservation Zone to be
maintained in its natural state;

Provides a buffer to the northern Conservation Zone;

Supports general interpretive, educative and recreational functions in
its balance area;

Provides and enhances opportunities for wildlife movement through
the site; and

Provides for pedestrian and bikeway connectivity through the site via

a north-south spine.

The East Visitor Precinct of the Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal is
proposed to provide visitor accommodation in a more dispersed arrangement
than in the West Visitor Precinct, where:

e

The accommodation will comprise dwelling units that are either
isolated from one another or gathered in small, discrete groups;

A Village Green is used for the disposal, of tertiary treated wastewater.

The Village Green forms a focus for gathered accommodation and the
provision of communal recreation facilities;

Treatment and pumping facilities and associated buffer are located;

An important vegetation community and wetland ecosystem to be
maintained in natural states is located; and

Buffer zones are identified to critical edges.

We understand that the previous approval for the site required provision to be
made for an emergency helipad within the development to serve the site and
the wider North Shore. A provision for a helipad, which is not for general use
but only to be used in emergency situations, has been made as a code
assessable use in the Noosa North Shore Eco-Tourism Portal within the West
