Council Planning Negotiated Report 132005 638 03

The proposed representations do not release the applicant from their obligations to register the
vegetation covenant or submit the updated SWMP.
Council’s senior environmental officer agrees with the representations as there is a significant need
to undertake the works as soon as possible to improve public safety for the use within the RRA.
The applicant’s request is considered reasonable in this instance.
As such, it is recommended that the conditions be revised as follows:

ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT
      Environmental covenant
40.   The vegetation protection covenant document must be registered with the titles office before
      the commencement of the use of the expanded Resource Recovery Area.


STORMWATER
43.   Prior to the construction of the pad area for the expansion of the Resource Recovery Area
      (RRA) and the relocation of the HES basin, provide an updated SWMP, which is based on
      the Noosa Landfill – Stormwater Management Plan (Topo, 7/2/2022) and which addresses
      the following:
      a.    Update the report to reflect the approved masterplan for the site and the specific
            changes for the site encompassed by the application;
      b.    Specify the final HES basin detail from the range of options presented in the report,
            including consideration of whether a Type-B HES basin may present a lower-risk option
            compared to the flap-gated arrangement proposed to prevent back-flows into the Type-
            A arrangement as currently proposed;
      c.    Include all details for the sizing and proposed levels of the HES basin within the body
            of the report, based on recent detailed survey at the point of discharge and
            downstream; and
      d.    Include construction-phase erosion and sediment control plans which document how
            the transition from the current HES basin location to the ultimate location (including
            filling for the RRA pad) will be achieved.


3.    CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The proposed representations seek to amend timing associated with conditions 40 and 43. The
representations do not alter the form of the Other Change approval which facilitates improved
safety and functionality of the existing resource recovery area (RRA
The representations are recommended for approval as they do not raise any concerns and the
request is considered reasonable in this instance given the nature of the changes sought.
