ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA                                                      17 AUGUST 2017


    3.   The approval is contrary to the South East Queensland Koala Conservation State
         Planning Regulatory Planning Provisions as the development will result in the
         removal of non-juvenile koala habitat trees.
    4.   Different bushfire hazard mapping to that used for the initial approval applies as the
         State Planning Provisions came into effect after the original approval and results in a
         higher hazard rating. The higher hazard rating may require changes to setback/buffer
         areas and an amended subdivision layout. An updated bushfire management plan
         has not been submitted to enable an assessment of the current bushfire hazard.
    5.   Significant time has lapsed since the ecological assessment reports were originally
         submitted and the information in these reports is now outdated. Updated ecological
         reports have not been submitted.
    6.   The community is unlikely to be aware of the proposal given the significant time that
         has lapsed, the Noosa Plan’s current zoning and no works have commenced on site.
