                            10.2. Provide a Bushfire Hazard Assessment and Management Plan compliant with
                                  the Bushfire Hazards Overlay code and the Planning Scheme Policy 8 - Natural
                                  Hazards.
                                    10.2.1. Include within the required Bushfire Hazard Assessment and
                                            Management Plan detail regarding whether vegetation clearing is
                                            required to meet bushfire requirements e.g. widening access tracks, fire
                                            protection zones etc.
                 Note: Vehicle access tracks may require upgrading to meet the requirements including
                 upgrading the waterway crossings as it appears the tracks cross mapped waterways. These
                 works may require approval from the State (Waterway Barrier Works).


                 RESPONSE
                 A bushfire hazard assessment was carried out (attached). The findings of the assessment
                 found the development area and surrounding landscape in a low potential bushfire intensity
                 with no part of the development (including access tracks) within the High potential impact
                 buffer. Given the development area was concluded as low hazard, there is no further
                 management required.


                 Issue – Effluent & Stormwater Runoff
                 There is insufficient information for Council to assess how the effluent and stormwater runoff
                 generated by the proposed development will be controlled and collected, the size of the
                 relevant systems and any potential clearing necessary.
                 Information Required
                    11.     Provide stormwater and effluent management plans for the proposed development.
                            The management plans must be prepared by a suitably qualified person (RPEQ –
                            Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland) and include, but not be limited to:
                            11.1. An-onsite effluent system capable of servicing the proposed development
                            11.2. an on-site stormwater management system that is capable of servicing the
                                  proposed development, and
                            11.3. stormwater and effluent management plans that are consistent with a site
                                  specific geotechnical report
                    12.     provide detailed information in regard to the size of the effluent systems, relevant
                            application areas, and the extent to vegetation removal required.


                 RESPONSE
                 An onsite effluent report and design is provided. The report confirms adequate areas exists to
                 manage 5 x 1-bedroom cabins (up to 10 persons).
                 Stormwater is easily capable of being diverted away from the effluent areas with a shallow
                 diversion drain or mound uphill of the area to divert surface water around the area.
                 A slope stability report is provided which confirms low level risk “acceptable”. Cabins are to be
                 setback over 5m from creek bank. The proposed cabins will be setback much further than this,
