Section 13
ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES 4 JUNE 2015
h. notification of Council as soon as practicable where a spill presents actual
or potential environmental harm (e.g. a spill that leaves the property and
enters stormwater or natural drainage systems). In this regard notification
must also include but not be limited to the following:
i. the time the registered operator of the activity became aware of the
release;
ii. the suspected cause of the release;

Leak detection for fuel tanks
84. All reasonable and practicable measures must be taken to prevent loss of
containment from the UPSS. An approved leak detection system must be
installed and operated at sufficient frequency, sensitivity and reliability to
provide a high level of confidence that a release of a petroleum product will be
detected in sufficient time for a response to be implemented before an
unacceptable risk is posed to human health, property or the environment. As a
minimum standard, all UPSSs are required to be monitored using a system
that:
a. can detect a leak from any portion of the UPSS
b. uses equipment that has been installed, calibrated and commissioned in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
c. is capable of detecting a leak at a rate of 0.76 litres per hour or more, with

contamination immediately after either:

be contaminated by petroleum originating from the property
b. the discovery whether pursuant to the loss monitoring procedure for the
system or otherwise that the system has a leak.
B. Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with
the Planning Scheme:
1. The convenience shop will fulfil a demonstrated need for convenience shopping
within the area.
2. The convenience shop is well located on Noosa’s major road network to
capture some escape expenditure by servicing the convenience needs of the
travelling public.
3. The café is suitably located to meet the convenience needs of the workers of
the industrial estate and the travelling public, and provide an all hours food
venue for the Noosa area.

Nature and Extent of Approved Use
3. The approved use is for a storage facility and associated washdown area only.
The shed is not to be manned or otherwise used for other purposes.
4. The existing storage facility on neighbouring land (Lot 114 MCH839107) must
be removed and the area made good to return it to public open space within 12
months of the commencement of the use.
Amenity
5. The shed shall be finished in natural colours that blend with the vegetated
setting and minimise its visibility.
6. Advertising signage must not be placed on the shed.

7. A minimum of 20 x tubestock native dunal species must be planted and
established in the area adjacent the shed on completion of construction.
Recommended species are:
Tree/Shrubs

Banksia integrifolia
Banksia aemula
Elaeocarpus reticulatus

B. Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with
the Planning Scheme:
1. The lifeguard storage shed is appropriately sited beside existing foreshore
infrastructure to provide critical support to the community use of the area’s
beach and marine environment.
2. The use strongly aligns with the planning scheme intent for active recreation
within the Open Space Recreation zone.
3. The use replaces an existing facility on adjacent land, which is to be
demolished and returned to community open space.
