Seaview Terrace, Ecology Report

b. the development minimises the total footprint within which all activities,
buildings, structures, driveways and other works are contained.

A waterway crosses the north-east corner of the site. The northern site boundary
abuts areas mapped as “Koala Habitat” and “Riparian Buffer Zone”.

Eastern Beaches Natural Resources Overlay OM4.5. The site is mapped as entirely
within the “Coastal Protection Area”. Under the Natural Resources Code the
overall outcomes for development in Coastal Protection Areas are that,
development —

i, does not adversely impact upon natural coastal processes; and

ii. is designed and sited to protect the natural beach or riverside

The site is shown on the Noosa Plan Schedule 5 Map 5 — Erosion Prone Areas. the
extent of Erosion Prone Areas is defined by the following:

The seaward boundary of the erosion prone area for all local authority area/s to
which this plan relates shall be defined by the seaward limit of Queens land waters;
On land adjacent to coastal waters the landward boundary of the erosion prone
area shall be defined as :

iv. a line measured 40 metres landward of the plan position of the mean
high water springs (MHWS ) tide level except where approved
revetments exist, in which case the line is measured 10 metres landward
of the upper seaward edge of the revetment, irrespective of the presence
of outcropping bedrock; or

v. a line located by the linear distance (in metres ) specified on this plan
measured, unless specified otherwise, inland from:

(a) _ the seaward toe of the frontal dune. (The seaward toe of the
frontal dune is normally

(b) approximated on aerial photography by the seaward limit of
terrestrial vegetation); or

(c) astraight line drawn across the mouth of a waterway between
the alignment of the seaward toe of the frontal dune on either
side of the mouth. or

vi. the plan position of Highest Astronomical Tide (HAT); whichever —
provides the greater erosion prone area width except:

(a) _ where the linear distance specified on this plan is less than 40
metres, in which case note (2)(i) does not apply, however
notes (2)(ti) and (2)(iii) do apply;

(b) where outcropping bedrock is present and no approved
revetments exist, in which case the line is defined as being
coincident with the most seaward bedrock outcrop within
these defined boundaries but not seaward of the line of HAT;
