Attachment 3 - Pre-lodgement Advice

I just wanted to provide you with an update in relation to the Ozcare project at Noosa Heads (Cooyar Street). Further
to our previous discussions and correspondence below, we have been progressing the project. All the necessary
consultants have been engaged, the site has been surveyed, significant trees (i.e. glossy black cockatoo feed trees)
on‐site have been identified and marked to be retained, and we are progressing the design of the aged care facility
extension, the civil design of the stormwater discharge crossing and the tree clearing approval requirements.

The key steps we’ve identified moving forward are identified in red:

1. Survey of site and marking of trees to be retained
2. Submit vegetation clearing application that:
       a. fulfills the requirements of the RM20205358 Bushfire Vegetation Management Conditional Approval
       b. includes the survey plan identifying the extent of vegetation to be remove and significant trees (i.e.
            glossy black cockatoo feed trees) to be retained
        c. includes a civil designed trafficable stormwater discharge solution across the access trail
3. Undertake the clearing once the further approval has been obtained from Council
4. Update the survey plan to identify only trees retained and take aerial photos of resulting cleared land
5. Lodge Minor Change application
      a. Town planning request letter
      b. Architectural plans
      c. Ecology and bushfire assessment
      d. Civil plans for trafficable stormwater discharge solution across the access trail and any other required
            works on‐site
        e. Traffic advice letter showing vehicle manoeuvrability diagrams
        f. Draft Infrastructure Agreement identifying that Ozcare is responsible for maintenance of the access trail

The following respond to the items within the correspondence below:

b) Application Pathway
Lot 1 on SP239726 Girraween Nature Refuge (access track lot) owned by Council is in the Environmental
Management and Conservation Zone (Noosa Plan) and SEQ Regional Plan Regional Landscape and Rural Production
Area. It makes up part of a much larger lot and is constrained by various local and state environmental overlays
(remnant vegetation, koala priority area, local refined koala habitat area). The inclusion of this lot within a
development application will unnecessarily complicate and elevate the assessment of the application. Accordingly,
we will be pursuing a Minor Change over just the Ozcare land Lot 1 on RP225312 and enter into an Infrastructure
Agreement with Council regarding the works and on‐going maintenance of the access track.

c) Bushfire Vegetation Management on Council land
We will be submitting a further application to Council for approval by Council in accordance with the attached
RM20205358 Bushfire Vegetation Management Conditional Approval to undertake the clearing works prior to the
development application being lodged. This application will satisfy the requirements of the RM20205358 Bushfire
Vegetation Management Conditional Approval, provide a survey plan that identifies the significant trees (i.e. glossy
black cockatoo feed trees) to be retained and a civil engineered design that rectifies the stormwater discharge issue
over the access trail.

Please note that the attached RM20205358 Bushfire Vegetation Management Conditional Approval dated 7 October
2020 only had a limited currency period, but we have been in discussions with Council and working on this project
for sometime. Can you please confirm that there will be no issue applying for a further approval for clearing works
under this conditional approval?

Can you please confirm receipt of this email and direction identified?

Please call me on my mobile if you wish to discuss.

Kind regards,
Ashley
