Information response

(£) Demonstrate that the development has no significant adverse impacts on
biodiversity, natural vegetation, and fauna habitat.

Response:

The architectural plans for the proposed change have been amended in response
to Items 2.(a) - 2.(f) of the Council’s information request. The proposed changes
help to demonstrate compliance with Performance Outcome(s) PO1, PO3, PO11 of
the Biodiversity, waterways and wetlands overlay code and PO7 and PO26 of the
Noosa Heads Local Plan.

The EAR incorporates a detailed code response which assesses potential impacts
resulting from the proposed changes, outlines management measures and
demonstrates compliance with the relevant assessment benchmarks. Compliance
has been achieved through additional retention of areas containing ecological
values, which will result in a net positive impact.

Please note, the EAR and assessment of environmental impacts were conducted using
land parcel boundaries obtained by the Department of Resources in 2022. It has come to
our attention that there has been an update to the land parcel boundaries in 2023,
resulting in slight variations in lot sizes and extents. However, based on these changes, it is
unlikely that the assessment outcomes presented in the EAR will be significantly different.

| trust that the enclosed information is satisfactory and assists Council in approving the
application; however, if there are any matters that you wish to discuss, please do not
hesitate to contact Freya Jassim from our office on [email protected] or O7 3852
4855.

Sincerely,
