 8.2.2               Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code

 8.2.2.1             Application
 (1)    This code applies to assessable development:
        (a)    subject to the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay shown on the overlay maps contained within Schedule 2
               (Mapping);
        (b)    subject to the protected vegetation overlay area; and
        (c)    identified as requiring assessment against the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands overlay code by the tables of
               assessment in Part 5 (Tables of assessment).

 (2)    All provisions in this code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development.


 8.2.2.2             Purpose and overall outcomes
 (1)    The purpose of the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands overlay code is to to protect, rehabilitate and enhance ecologically
        important areas and improve connectivity and ecological linkages across Noosa Shire.
 (2)    The overall outcomes sought for the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands overlay code are:
        (a)    The natural resources and ecosystem values of Noosa Shire are protected and enhanced including ecologically important
               areas and land and environmental values of scenic, aesthetic, cultural, educational, recreational, scientific, economic and
               social value.
        (b)    Development is designed, sited, constructed and operated in a way that avoids adverse impacts on ecologically important
               areas, ecological systems and processes.
        (c)    Development design and layout provides for ecological connectivity across the landscape through the protection,
               rehabilitation and enhancement of native vegetation and ecological linkages.
        (d)    Ecological linkages and riparian vegetation are conserved, managed, enhanced and rehabilitated to protect and improve
               biodiversity, ecosystem health, landscape stability and resilience.
        (e)    Development design and layout provides for the protection and establishment of appropriate buffers to waterways,
               wetlands, native vegetation and significant fauna habitat.
        (f)    The terrestrial and aquatic native flora and fauna and their habitats are protected and enhanced.
        (g)    Development and its associated landscaping provides for the rehabilitation of ecologically important areas, degraded
               ecosystems and habitats to achieve a functional and healthy ecosystem state that requires minimal human intervention.
        (h)    Development is designed, sited, constructed and operated to avoid or minimise adverse impacts on koalas and their
               habitat and to provide for connectivity and safety for the long term viability of the koala population.
        (i)    In urban areas, biodiversity values are protected and enhanced to assist with ecosystem health, flora and fauna, urban
               amenity and quality of life.
 Editor's Note—Ecologically important areas include Areas of Biodiversity Significance, Riparian Buffer Areas, wetland areas and other values as
 defined in Schedule 1 Definitions. Wetland areas are also identified on the Queensland Wetland Program mapping.
