Minor Change Existing Approval - 151999.982601.3 (As Published)

               19.    The applicants are to construct a 30m wide vegetated buffer along the southern boundary as
                      indicated in Noosa Town Planning Pty Ltd’s report dated 1st May, 1996. The buffer is to be
                      generally as described in the Department of Primary Industries/Department of Housing and
                      Local Government Planning Guidelines: “Separating Agricultural and Residential Land
                      Uses”. The details of the buffer are to be provided with the landscaping plans and to consist
                      of a mixture of trees and shrubs indigenous to the site planted at 4m x 4m intervals over the
                      full 30m width. The buffer is to be maintained by the developer until the trees are a minimum
                      of 2.5m high and weed and grass growth is suppressed to the point where maintenance is
                      no longer required. A maintenance bond of $10,000 is to be lodged with Council and will be
                      called up if the buffer has not met this self-maintaining state within two years of planting. The
                      bond, or balance remaining if called up, will be refunded once the buffer reaches the self-
                      maintaining state.
               20.    Cleared house site areas of 2000m2 shall be created on Lots 3, 6, 10, 13, 14 and 15. These
                      house sites shall be located outside the areas of flooding, buffer zones or the environmental
                      covenants.
                      Prior to any clearing being carried out a site inspection is to be carried out with Council’s
                      Vegetation Management Officer and Work’s Inspector, the Principal Contractor’s site
                      representative and the Contractor’s Supervising Engineer, to define the limits of clearing for
                      this development.
                      Areas to be protected by environmental covenants are to be flagged off as ‘no encroachment’
                      zones, to the satisfaction of Council’s Works Inspector. This barrier is to remain in place for
                      the duration of the clearing works, machinery and materials are not permitted within these
                      areas.
               21.    Cleared vegetation is to be suitably processed by one of the following methods and removed
                      from the site:-
                      21.1. Processing through a woodchipper or shredder. The resulting mulch is to be stockpiled
                            loose in heaps of less than 1000 cubic metres, less than 2.5 metres high with a
                            minimum of 10 metres between edges of heaps.
                      21.2. Disposal for firewood.
                      21.3. Disposal for landscaping purposes.
                      21.4. Transport to alternative site for breaking down materials provided that all necessary
                            permits have been obtained to allow the alternate site to be used for this purpose.
                      The disposal method for clearing works is to be submitted in conjunction with an application
                      for a Development Permit for Operational Work. The Applicant is advised that other methods
                      may be considered provided full details of the method are submitted.
                      The Applicant is also advised that burning off is an unacceptable method of disposal.
               22.    Any existing noxious and environmental weeds, including but not limited to Groundsel,
                      Noogoora Burr, and Salvinia Molesta, shall be cleared from the entire property to the
                      satisfaction of the Manager of Land Development (namely a 95% kill) prior to the release of
                      the sealed Survey Plan. (Under State Legislation Gall Fly (Rhopalomyia Califormica) is not
                      a recognised means of control or destruction of groundsel bush.)
                      Note that Council requires thirty (30) days notification following completion of eradication
                      works prior to Council’s Noxious Weeds Officer inspecting the subject site.
               23.    Pursuant to Section 3.7.3(c) of the Integrated Planning Act, all outstanding rates and charges
                      due and payable to Noosa Council in respect of the lots being reconfigured shall be paid prior
                      to endorsement of the Plan of Survey for each stage.
               24.    Any legal documentation required by this permit to be presented to Council should be
                      submitted in the correct form (together with the prescribed fees in accordance with Council’s
                      adopted fee schedule) at least fourteen (14) days prior to any request being made for release
                      of the Survey Plan.
