the Noosa Shire is assessable development as the Shire is covered by a “protected vegetation overlay”, unless otherwise
exempted development. Either remove or amend condition 4 of the CMS.

Response
It is proposed that Condition 4 of the CMS be amended to acknowledge that Council’s ‘protected vegetation overlay’
applies to the site and needs to be considered when removing any onsite vegetation. The amended CMS including an
amended condition 4 will be forwarded to Council’s plan sealing team once amended.
