Dear Mark

INFORMATION RESPONSE


9 WYUNA DRIVE, NOOSAVILLE


Further to your information request for the abovementioned development application we now
respond to all of the information requested.

1. Indicate on the plans any existing vegetation within the waterway in the frontage of the site.

Please find attached amended plans showing the existing palm tree (on the land) and
mangrove tree (in the canal) at the frontage of the site.

2. Provide additional detail on how any existing vegetation is to be protected during the
   construction works.

The proposed pontoon has been shifted to ensure that it does not interfere with either of these
pieces of vegetation. Please refer to the amended plans showing the location of each. Any
mangrove branches that may extend towards the pontoon will be gently pulled aside
(remaining intact) to ensure the plant is not disturbed.

3. Provide sufficient detail to demonstrate how the proposed works achieve compliance with
   The Waterways Works code – Performance Outcome PO1 (a, b & c).

   (a) The proposed pontoon is consistent with the type, design and materials of construction
       when compared to newer pontoons in this immediate area including the neighbouring
       structure to the left. No adverse effects to light, views, air quality and noise are expected
       with the installation of this pontoon when others already exist in this canal.
   (b) There are already a number of existing pontoons and jetties in this section of canal.
       The proposed pontoon is of a similar sizing to others and is in keeping with the marine
       amenity.
   (c) The repositioning of the pontoon will ensure that the mangrove in the waterway is not
       affected. The palm tree is well clear of the proposed land anchor.
