EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
North Coast Environmental Services have been commissioned to prepare an Ecological Assessment
Report for Lot 9 on RP225312 located at 100 Cooyar Street, Noosa Heads, QLD (herein referred to
as ‘the site’). The report was requested to identify the environmental values of the site and to
determine the suitability of a Material Change of Use (Aged Care Facility Renovations) development
application to be submitted to Noosa Shire Council. The outcomes of the environmental
investigations identified the following:
The site supports local, State and Commonwealth level biodiversity values.
The site is mapped within the Noosa Plan 2020 as being situated in the Community Facilities
Zone and is affected by the Area of Biodiversity Significance, MSES Environmental Values,
and Riparian Buffer Area Biodiversity Code overlays.
Three dominant vegetation communities were identified within and adjacent to the site:
o Vegetation Community 1 (VC 1) – Paperbark open forest with shrubby understorey;
o Vegetation Community 3 (VC 3) – Banksia woodland with mixed understorey; and
o Vegetation Community 2 (VC 2) – Modified areas with low density of mature trees.
The development proposal avoids impacts to the identified Ecologically Important Areas
onsite. The clearing of a small number of she-oaks within VC3 may be required to
accommodate the proposed extension which could currently be cleared under exempted
development fire break management provisions listed in the Planning Regulation 2017.
The application has been assessed against several assessment frameworks and determined to be
compliant as follows:
Noosa Plan 2020, Code 8.2.2 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands – Compliant.
Vegetation Management Act 1999 and the associated State Code 16 Native Vegetation
Clearing – No further assessment is required.
State Code 25 Development in South East Queensland koala habitat areas – No further
assessment is required.
Nature Conservation Act 1992 – Compliant provided the provision of;
o a suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter/catcher is present during all
vegetation clearing onsite
The following recommendations are set to reduce the environmental impact of the proposal and to
secure DA approval:
Appropriate erosion and sediment control works are conducted to mitigate the impact to the
adjacent offsite waterway and wetland during construction;
If required a Fauna Management Plan can be prepared for the future OPW application to
manage the risk of impact to terrestrial fauna during civil works. The FMP includes a
requirement for a suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter catcher to be engaged to
supervise vegetation clearing onsite;
All future landscaping and revegetation work consists of suitable local native species drawn
from local Regional Ecosystems.

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
North Coast Environmental Services have been commissioned to prepare an Ecological Assessment
Report for Lot 9 on RP225312 located at 100 Cooyar Street, Noosa Heads, QLD (herein referred to
as ‘the site’). The report was requested to identify the environmental values of the site and to
determine the suitability of a Material Change of Use (Aged Care Facility Renovations) development
application to be submitted to Noosa Shire Council. The scope of works addressed in this report
comprises:
A desktop assessment of the potential ecological planning constraints acting on the site;
A site inspection to ‘ground truth’ the results of the desktop findings;
A flora and fauna habitat survey of the site;
A discussion of the likely impacts of the proposed development on the ecological resources
identified through the desktop and field investigations;
Analysis of compliance with relevant government environmental assessment frameworks
identified through the desktop assessment process; and
Identification of suitable mitigation measures to minimise the environmental impacts of the
proposed development and to assist in securing relevant development permits.
1.2 Development Proposal
It is understood the proponent seeks to conduct extensive renovations to the existing Aged Care
Facility onsite involving replacement of the existing buildings. This assessment assesses the impact
of Stage 1 of the works which involves replacing the ‘Banksia wing’ in the south east corner of the
site. It is noted that only the southern portion of the proposed new building will result in an increase
to the size of the existing building footprint. The Plan of Development has been provided as Appendix
1.
1.3 Site Description
The site covers approximately 2.5 ha, is located in the southern extent of the Noosa Heads area and
currently supports Ozcare Noosa Heads Aged Care Facility.
In general, the facility occupies the majority of the site hosting numerous buildings, carpark,
courtyards, and maintenance shed with only scattered mature trees present. Natural bushland is
present about the northern corner and western boundary of the site.
The site is bordered by Noosa National Park to the north and east, Council reserve land to the south,
and urban land uses comprised of government and residential uses present to the southwest and
west.
A Council approved (via Structure Plan agreement) firebreak has recently been installed on Council
land adjacent to the eastern and southern boundaries of the site. Ozcare have also recently
undertaken exempt fire break management clearing within the southern end of the site to reduce the
inherent fire risk acting on the site.

1.4 Topography
The site is located on relatively flat terrain with a small slope toward the northern and eastern
boundaries between 1-3 degrees. The site reaches a topographic high of approximately 21m AHD
about the western boundary and declines towards the northern and eastern boundaries to a
topographic low of 15m AHD. No waterways are mapped onsite. Roof captured stormwater
discharges into an open unsealed drain on the eastern elevation of the Banksia Wing and discharges
this water into the adjacent NP wetland vegetation. A second unsealed stormwater drain traverses
through the southern end of the site and fans out onto the general slope adjacent to the south-east
corner of the site.

Tool.
2.2 Field Survey
A field survey was undertaken on 10 November 2022 to verify the composition, extent and
abundance of native plant species, vegetation communities and fauna habitat within the site. The
field survey methodology comprised a walking meander through the site whilst observations were
made of the in-situ vegetation species and habitat elements including adjoining vegetation and
specific habitat features such as nests and tree hollows. The survey included a targeted search for
the presence of any flora species listed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NC Act) and/or the
EPBC Act 1999.

in an area and therefore does not necessarily indicate the actual recorded presence of protected
matters.
The Search Result identified that the following Matters of National Environmental Significance
(MNES) have the potential to be present within a 2km radius of the site (refer to Appendix 2):
The ‘Endangered’ Coastal Swamp Oak (Casuarina glauca) Forest of New South Wales and
South East Queensland Threatened Ecological Community;
The ‘Endangered’ Coastal Swamp Sclerophyll Forest of New South Wales and South East
Queensland Threatened Ecological Community;
The ‘Critically Endangered’ Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia Threatened
Ecological Community;
The ‘Vulnerable’ Subtropical and Temperate Coastal Saltmarsh;
19 listed threatened flora;
43 fauna species; and
Marine, terrestrial and wetland migratory bird species.
3.8 Surrounding Habitat and Connectivity
Aerial imagery was reviewed to assess the extent of vegetation/habitat surrounding the site which
has the potential to facilitate dispersal opportunities for flora and terrestrial fauna species (refer to
Plate 8 with Vegetation Protection Covenants highlighted in red).
The site contains a limited amount of intact bushland in its northern corner and western boundary
noting that vegetation has recently been cleared in the south of the site under the QLD PR 2017
exempted development fire break provisions.
The remaining bushland in the northern corner and western boundary exhibits direct connectivity
with the adjacent bushland area to the north. The bushland areas bordering the site to the north,
east and south are contained within the Noosa National Park and Girraween Sports Complex and
Nature Refuge. These bushland units combine to form a critical north south corridor within the local
landscape, noting a large portion of the corridor exhibits wet heath.
Sunshine Beach Road dissects the corridor to the north limiting safe terrestrial fauna dispersal
through the landscape and represents high risk of vehicle strike to terrestrial and arboreal fauna. No
fauna impact mitigation measures such as terrestrial overpasses, rope ladders or even underpasses
are available across Sunshine Beach Road to assist with fauna movement.
Langura Street represents a similar barrier to terrestrial fauna movement in an east to west direction
to the south of the site.
Eenie Creek Road dissects the corridor to the south however a significantly wide vegetated road
underpass is present where the road formation bridges across the wetland between the Langura
Street roundabout and Sunshine Beach High School grounds. This design enables unrestricted flora
and fauna dispersal to occur either side of the road.

Lot 9 on RP225312 – 100 Cooyar Street, Noosa Heads
4.3.1 Vegetation Community 1 – Paperbark open forest with shrubby understorey
VC1 is present within the northern corner of the site and extends off site to the north along the edge
of Cooyar Street. The vegetation community exhibits an average canopy height of 20-25m.
The canopy was dominated by Melaleuca quinquenervia (broad-leaved paperbark) but also
contained scattered Corymbia intermedia (pink bloodwood), and Acacia spp.
The mid-storey was characterised by Melaleuca quinquenervia canopy recruiters, Banksia aemula
(wallum banksia), Allocasuarina littoralis (black sheoak), and Lophostemon confertus (brush box).
The understorey contained a mix assemblage of native grasses, shrubs and herbs with localised
dominance of Blechnum indicum (bungwall fern).
VC1 is considered to conform to the definition of the ‘Endangered’ Coastal Swamp Sclerophyll Forest
of New South Wales and South East Queensland Threatened Ecological Community.
VC1 is considered representative of an Ecologically Important Area under the NSC Planning
Scheme. Plate 9 depicts typical vegetation within VC1.
Plate 9 – VC1 – Paperbark open forest with shrubby understorey
4.3.2 Vegetation Community 2 – Banksia woodland with mixed understorey
VC2 is present along the western site boundary. The vegetation community exhibits an average
canopy height of 10-15m.
The canopy was dominated by Banksia aemula (wallum banksia) and Allocasuarina littoralis (back
she-oak) with low density of Corymbia intermedia (pink bloodwood). The mid-storey was
characterised by B. aemula canopy recruiters, Acacia spp., and Pittosporum revolutum (forest
pittosporum).
The understorey is dominated by a range of native ferns, sedges, shrubs and grasses with
Xanthorrhoea johnsonii (grass tree) prevalent throughout. A formed concrete pathway dissects the
length of VC2.
Where VC2 did not exhibit a formed concrete path understorey it is considered representative of an
Ecologically Important Area under the NSC Planning Scheme. Plate 10 depicts typical vegetation
within VC2.

4.3.3 Vegetation Community 3 – Modified area with scattered mature trees and gardens
VC3 captures the gardens and scattered mature trees immediate surrounding the aged care facility
and carparks. Mature tree species present include Allocasuarina littoralis (black sheoak), Melaleuca
quinquenervia (broad-leaved paperbark), Melaleuca Leucadendra (weeping paperbark), Bamboo
spp., Lophostemon suaveolens (swamp box), palm spp., Macaranga tanarius, Glochidion ferdinandi
(cheese tree), and Acacia spp.
An area in the southern extent of the VC3 unit has been recently cleared for bushfire protection.
VC3 comprises native vegetation but is not considered representative of intact functional bushland
and therefore not an Ecologically Important Area under the NSC Planning Scheme. Plate 11 depicts
typical vegetation within VC3.

4.4 Fauna
4.4.1 Fauna Habitat Values
The observed habitat within the site includes paperbark open forest, Banksia woodland, and modified
areas, all of which exhibit potential to provide suitable habitat for numerous fauna species. The site
abuts the western edge of the Girraween Nature Refuge and Noosa National Park habitat and offers
a buffer between those conservation areas and the distinct lack of habitat present to the west of the
site beyond Cooyar Street.
A specific fauna survey of the site was not undertaken as part of the scope of works and would be
required to confirm the specific fauna species utilising the site’s habitat. Nonetheless, inferences
about the composition of the local fauna assemblage can be drawn from local knowledge, site
conditions and database search results.
Vegetated areas of the site contain a variety of fauna habitat types and exhibit direct connectivity
with offsite vegetation areas. These areas have the potential to offer fauna species the following
habitat opportunities:
Open canopy and mid-canopy nesting sites and perches which may be used by birds and
arboreal mammals;
Fallen logs and dead trees with exfoliating bark;
Flower pollen from the mix of canopy and mid-strata species may provide a food source for
nectivorous species including possums, gliders, flying foxes and birds;
Scattered Koala habitat trees that may provide a food, breeding and resting resource for
koalas;
Sun exposed areas below canopy gaps and on forest fringes may be suitable habitat for
exothermic reptiles such as snakes, skinks, small lizards and possibly larger reptiles such as
lace monitors;
Areas of light to heavy leaf litter have the potential to host small reptiles, amphibious species
and may provide breeding opportunities for brush turkeys; and
Grass and sedge groundcovers (native and exotic) have the potential to provide shelter and
movement pathways for small terrestrial mammals.
The site does not support estuarine areas hence is only likely to support freshwater species where
conditions permit habitation. Freshwater fish are unlikely to inhabit the eastern drain given its limited
reach of continuous inundation from the down pipe outlets to the eastern site boundary where the
discharge enters a soakage zone, characterised by ferns and bull rush and which is generally devoid
of standing water. The southern drain appears to be predominantly dry and likely only hosts flows
for a very limited period following heavy rainfall. Amphibian species may be drawn to these
intermittent water resources.

5 DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS AND MITIGATION
5.1 Flora and Vegetation Communities
5.1.1 Impacts
5.1.1.1 Native Vegetation
The development has avoided the identified Ecologically Important Areas onsite (VC1 & VC2) by
locating the proposed works within existing modified areas (VC3). Therefore, no impacts to the
identified Ecologically Important Areas onsite is expected.
No conservation significant flora species, on ground remnant regional ecosystems, or Threatened
Ecological Communities under the EPBC will be impacted by the works.
Numerous ‘Least concern’ native trees (mostly paperbarks, banksias, macarangas and cheese
trees), shrubs and groundcovers set within the garden beds lining the perimeter of the existing
buildings to be renovated will be impacted by the works.
The proposed extension in the southern extent of the proposed works footprint will potentially require
the removal of up to 8 Allocasuarina littoralis (black she-oaks) over a cleared /mulched understorey
(refer Plate 12). No evidence of chewings at the base of the subject A. littoralis trees was observed
which might indicate feeding from glossy black cockatoos. There is an abundance of Allocasuarina
littoralis within and about the site and the removal of up 8 specimens is considered highly unlikely to
impact the viability of the local population. No hollows were identified within the impacted trees.

been retained along the southern boundary and offers a vegetated buffer between the site and the

Plate 13 – Post fire break clearing conditions
5.1.2 Mitigation Measures
The vegetation expected to be impacted by the proposal could currently be cleared under numerous
local government and state government exemptions including Schedule 6 of the Planning Regulation
for bushfire protection measures (i.e., firebreak up to 1.5m tallest adjacent tree height). Ozcare
elected to retain the scattering of she-oaks in the south of the site during the recent fire break
management clearing to preserve potential Glossy black-cockatoo food trees along with a linear
band of woodland habitat along its southern boundary. The boundary vegetation could be cleared
under the boundary clearing and maintenance exempt clearing provisions of the Planning Regulation
2017. The extent of she-oaks in the Council firebreak were also retained via agreement between
Ozcare and NSC. These measures demonstrate the balance sought by Ozcare between ensuring
reasonable human safety and environmental stewardship on the site.
The proposal will potentially impact a small number Allocasuarina trees. However, evidence of
Calyptorhynchus lathami lathami (glossy black-cockatoo (eastern)) feeding* was not observed
during the site inspection. Evidence of feeding* has previously been observed on she-oaks located
along the western boundary of the site. Therefore, the impacted trees are not expected to be critically
important to the species.
*determined via presence of chewed orts at the base of she-oaks.
The impacts to any native vegetation in the clearing footprint are expected to be compensated via
site landscaping utilising appropriate suitable native species primarily found on or adjacent to the
site.
The presence of the cleared NSC firebreak immediately adjacent to the site infers the development
represents low risk of impact to any native bushland present within the adjacent Council land
National Park land. Nonetheless a Vegetation and Fauna Management Plan will be prepared with
the future OPW application to direct clearing activities and minimise the potential for any unforeseen
impact to native flora and fauna.

5.2 Fauna
5.2.1 Impacts
The impacts to fauna species anticipated as a result of the development are anticipated to be minimal
and primarily relate to the development of the existing modified area host to small number of trees.
Potential impacts to fauna comprise:
o Reduced nocturnal habitat/foraging suitability via introduction of artificial lighting of
external buildings environs which may result in greater light flux emittance than the
current building emits; and
o Injury or death of fauna during vegetation clearing.
5.2.2 Mitigation Measures
The impact of the proposed development to fauna is proposed to be mitigated/minimised by:
Locating all built infrastructure in existing cleared areas anticipated to host limited fauna
utilisation/occupancy;
Extensive landscaping associated with the project is expected to offset impacts to vegetation;
Appropriate erosion and sediment control works are recommended to mitigate any significant
impacts to the adjacent waterway and wetlands area; and
A suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter catcher to be engaged to supervise
vegetation clearing on the site.

Overall, the proposed development has been determined to be compliant subject to Council’s acceptance of minor impacts to the mapped Area of Biodiversity Significance, MSES Environmental Values and Riparian Buffer Area overlay and the mitigation strategies proposed to mitigate these impacts. The Area of Biodiversity Significance mapping was constructed prior to the exempt clearing for bushfire protection being carried out and is no longer considered accurate with on-ground vegetation conditions (refer Plates 4 & 13 and VC01). Additionally, the Riparian Protection Area mapping has been overrepresented on the site and captures the existing building and modified area in the eastern site extent (refer Plate 14). This area exhibits limited woody vegetation and contained no macrophytes hence the mapping is not considered representative of onsite conditions. Finally, any vegetation clearing associated with the development would fall within the exempted development clearing footprint for a firebreak about the existing building (i.e., 1.5 times tallest adjacent tree height) and for routine maintenance of boundaries (i.e., 5m width in a KHA for a site measuring <5ha). Therefore, the development does not result in new impact to the extent of vegetation remaining on site which is regulated by the Biodiversity Overlay.

6.2 State Government
6.2.1 Remnant Regional Ecosystems
The Vegetation Management Supporting Map identifies that Category C & R remnant vegetation is
present within the site. Schedule 10, Part 3, Division 4, Table 2 of the Planning Regulation 2017
requires any reconfiguration of a lot or MCU application that is assessable development under
section 21, which includes an allotment which is 5ha or larger, to be referred to SARA for assessment
against SDAP State Code 16 - Native vegetation clearing.
The site measures <5ha, no further assessment is required.
6.2.2 Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 and SDAP State Code 25
Development in South East Queensland koala habitat areas
The SEQ Koala Conservation Strategy Koala Habitat Mapping identifies that the site occurs outside
of a Koala Priority Area but does contain Koala Habitat Area (locally refined) in its northern and
southern corners (refer section 3.4). The proposed development footprint intercepts approximately
427m2 of the mapped KHA area, noting that the impacted mapped area currently exhibits no koala
habitat trees.
The proposed impact to KHA is considered exempt development under Item K of the Exempted
Development definition contained within Schedule 24 of the Planning Regulation 2017 which allows
for a one-off clearing exemption of up to 500m² of mapped KHA but can also be undertaken for
exempt bushfire management purposes under Schedule 6 of the Planning Regulation to protect the
existing building (which has recently occurred). No additional clearing is now deemed necessary for
fire protection hence the application does not require referral to SARA for assessment against State
Code 25. No further assessment is required.
Nature Conservation Act 1992
6.2.2.1 Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map
The Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map identifies that the vegetation contained within the
northern and southern corners of the site are mapped as a ‘high risk area’ prescribed under the
Nature Conservation (Plants) Regulation 2020. No conservation significant species were observed
within the proposed impact area (proposed southern extension) and given current conditions within
the area (i.e., low density of she-oaks over mulch understorey) are not expected to be present.
Further vegetation clearing may be required in the mapped High-risk Area however can be legally
carried for exempt bushfire management purposes to protect the existing building pursuant to
Schedule 6 of the Planning Regulation.
6.2.2.2 Fauna
Provision of a suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter/catcher is necessary during all
vegetation clearing activities to satisfy the duty of care obligations under the NC Act.
Note where active breeding habitat for least concern native fauna is observed, the applicant will be
required to comply with DES’s Species Management Program – low risk of impacts. Where active
breeding habitat for Conservation Significant fauna is observed, the applicant will be required to
prepare and submit a DES compliant Species Management Program – High risk of impacts for
approval prior to clearing commencing.
6.3 Commonwealth Government
VC1 confirms to the definition of the ‘Endangered’ Coastal Swamp Sclerophyll Forest of New South
Wales and South East Queensland Threatened Ecological Community (TEC). The vegetation
clearing associated with Stage 1 of the development is located approximately >200m from the
identified TEC. Therefore, no further assessment is required.

7 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
7.1 Conclusion
A desktop and field investigation have been undertaken to determine the environmental values
present within Lot 9 on RP225312 located at 100 Cooyar Street, Noosa Heads, QLD. The outcomes
of the desktop and field investigations identified the following:
The site supports local, State and Commonwealth level biodiversity values.
The site is mapped within the Noosa Plan 2020 as being situated in the Community Facilities
Zone and is affected by the Area of Biodiversity Significance, MSES Environmental Values,
and Riparian Buffer Area Biodiversity Code overlays.
Three dominant vegetation communities were identified within and adjacent to the site:
o Vegetation Community 1 (VC 1) – Paperbark open forest with shrubby understorey;
o Vegetation Community 3 (VC 3) – Banksia woodland with mixed understorey; and
o Vegetation Community 2 (VC 2) – Modified areas with low density of mature trees.
The development proposal avoids impacts to the identified Ecologically Important Areas
onsite. The clearing of a small number of she-oaks within VC3 may be required to
accommodate the proposed extension which could currently be cleared under exempted
development fire break management provisions listed in the Planning Regulation 2017.
The application has been assessed against several assessment frameworks and determined to be
compliant as follows:
Noosa Plan 2020, Code 8.2.2 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands – Compliant.
Vegetation Management Act 1999 and the associated State Code 16 Native Vegetation
Clearing – No further assessment is required.
State Code 25 Development in South East Queensland koala habitat areas – No further
assessment is required.
Nature Conservation Act 1992 – Compliant provided the provision of;
o a suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter/catcher is present during all
vegetation clearing onsite
The following recommendations are set to reduce the environmental impact of the proposal and to
secure DA approval:
Appropriate erosion and sediment control works are conducted to mitigate the impact to the
adjacent offsite waterway and wetland during construction;
If required a Fauna Management Plan can be prepared for the future OPW application to
manage the risk of impact to terrestrial fauna during civil works. The FMP includes a
requirement for a suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter catcher to be engaged to
supervise vegetation clearing onsite;
All future landscaping and revegetation work consists of suitable local native species drawn
from local Regional Ecosystems.
