Attachment 8 - Bushfire Management Plan

Report on Updated Bushfire Management Plan for            Stockwell Development Group Pty Ltd
Undeveloped Area of Noosa Civic


1. Introduction
The Noosa Civic site (total area 72.76ha) has enjoyed three completed stages of
development. This development has included commercial, industrial and residential
components. This has been largely in the north and west of the site. (see Aerial
Photograph No. 1)


The original Master Plan identified large areas of ecological significance which has been
quarantined by Council Park/Open Space or Environmental Covenant. (see Aerial
Photograph No. 1)


The next stages of development include the clearing of all the nodes of expansion. (see
Clearing Plan)


The entire area has enjoyed previous Bushfire Management Plans and this is an update of
these previous plans and bushfire assessments.




2. History
Prior to 2003 the site had been partially cleared and enjoyed a range of uses. In 2003 an
unplanned bushfire burnt the entire site. (Refer to Photographs in 2004 Bushfire
Management Plan) There has been no burning, planned or unplanned, on the site since
2003.


The development to date has effectively eliminated the bushfire hazard from the north and
west.
