GHD has been commissioned by the Sunshine Coast Regional Council (SCRC) to provide environmental
management documentation for the construction of Girraween Sports Precinct, Noosaville. Construction
will be undertaken by contractors appointed by SCRC. The development involves the construction of a
sports ground including soccer fields, associated infrastructure and car parks. A locality plan identifying
the site and surrounds is presented as Figure 1. The majority of works will be located on Lot 1 on
$P177650, which is a freehold tenured property owned by SCRC. Some works will also be required on
the local government controlled Eenie Creek Road reserve.
