2.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SUPPLIED

 

 

The Noosa Shire Council, as assessment manager for the application, raises the
following matters of concern and request the following information —

 

 

1. An independent assessment of the vegetation types found on the site and their
propensity to support fauna, prepared by a suitably qualified person.

In response to Item 1 of Council’s Information Request, Terra Firma
Landscapes, Environmental Consultancy & Landscape Design have
“undertaken an assessment of vegetation over the subject site. (Refer to
Appendix 1). :

2. A Vegetation Survey indicating extent of any vegetation proposed to be
removed, or interfered with, in the Open Space Conservation and Waterway
designation areas under the Superseded Strategic Plan and justification for
removal of any significant vegetation located in the balance areas of Lot 8 & 9.

In response to Item 2 of Council’s Information Request, Colin Pywell Pty Ltd -
have prepared a Vegetation Survey detailing the extent of any vegetation

proposed to be removed, or interfered with in the Open Space Conservation

and Waterway designated areas under the Superseded Strategic Plan.

Furthermore, the survey provides justification for removal of any significant

vegetation located within the balance areas of Lot 8 & 9. (Refer to Appendix

2). ‘

3. Provide written details of the applicants response to the intent of Section 11.6
‘Open Space & Environmental Issues’ of the Superseded Strategic Plan for the
areas designated Open Space — Conservation & Waterway Protection on the
site.

_ In response to Item 3 of Council's Information Request it should be
acknowledged that the current zoning of the subject site, being ‘detached
housing’ allows for the creation of an access point off Laguna Street. As
delineated by the amended proposal plan, attached in Appendix 3 of this
Response to the Information Request, the plan of proposal is sensitive to the
Open Space and Environmental values of the subject site. The plan of
proposal delineates that the Open Space and Environmental values of the site
will be maintained, as the area has been included within a vegetation
covenant in order to insure that the environmental values of the site are
upheld. Furthermore, it should be noted that the proposed access point is that

of a dual access easement, insuring that the Open Space zone will not be
unnecessarily fragmented by two access points.

4. Provide an assessment of the proposal’s consistency with the requirements of
State Planning Policies 2/02 ‘Planning and Managing Development Involving
Acid Sulphate Soils’ and 1/03 ‘Mitigating the Adverse Impacts of Flood,
Bushfire and Landslide’. In this regard, it is suggested that an assessment be
provided against the provisions of the Natural Hazards Overlay Code in the
Noosa Pian. .

Considering the proposed dwellings are located on land higher than 5m AHD
being greater than 10m AHD, Acid Sulfate Soils will not impact upon this
development proposal.

 

 

5. Please provide a reviewed effluent disposal report that details the effluent
disposal requirements for proposed Lot 8 and Lot 9, as the report submitted
related to the previously approved development to the east and to a balance lot
- not specifically to the current proposal. It is also noted that the soil
conditions on the balance lot (now proposed Lot 8 & 9) appear to have a lot
lower permeability than Lots 1 to 7, and as such it is likely that larger effluent
disposal areas (including 100% reserve area) will be needed. The reviewed
report should also make recommendations on the best system suited for the
site based on the Water Balance method as outlined in Australian Standard
AS1547,

In response to Item 5 of Council's Information Request Colin Pywell Pty Ltd
Consulting Engineers have prepared a revised effluent disposal report
attached in Appendix 4 of this report.

6. Please amend the proposal plan 38411-1e by Murray & Associates, dated
11/05/06 to indicate the likely full developed conditions of each Lot, with the
necessary amendments to the proposed effluent disposal areas and with
consideration given to the setback/separation required between effluent
disposal areas and the various uses expected on site. To this end reference
should be given to the Department of Local Government, Planning, Sport &
Recreation — Queens/and Plumbing and Wastewater Code.

In response to.ltem 6 of Council’s Information Request an amended Proposal
Plan has been prepared to indicate the likely full development conditions of
each Lot, with the necessary amendments to the proposed effluent disposal
areas and with consideration given to the setback/separation requirements
between effluent disposal areas and the various uses expected on site.
(Refer to Appendix 3).

SUMMARY

Terra Firma Environmental Consultancy & Landscape Design has been engaged by
P&S Pty. Ltd. to undertake an assessment of vegetation on 1 Laguna Street, Boreen
Point. The site is described as Lot 21 on RP’839106. The assessment was conducted in
response to Noosa Council letter to client P&S Pty. Ltd. Dated 24 August 2006.
(Ref: 2006/1354).

Assessment of the subject site was conducted on March 1*. 2007. The study focused on
bushland existing on proposed lot 8. The main method employed was to traverse the site
from tree to tree (identifying larger tree species ie.>300DBH). During the survey other
native vegetation were also noted along ‘with weed species. Appendix 1 tables the trees
and their particulars while figure 1 shows proposed layout and identified tree tocations.

The existing vegetation community may be described as a mostly closed Eucalypt forest
with a patchy understorey mix of tree regeneration and shrub species. Large habitat trees
either dead or alive with multiple hollows or nesting sites were not observed.

The superseded Planning Scheme, section 11.6 Open Space & Environmental Issues has
portions of the site mapped as Open Space -— Conservation & Waterway Protection, refer
to Figure 2.

These mapped portions are closely aligned to proposed buffers therefore generally
upholding the intent of the schemes strategic aim. To achieve the objective of protecting
environmental values, environmental covenants should be placed on these retained
portions of vegetation.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Purpose

Terra Firma Environmental Consultancy & Landscape Design has been engaged by

P&S Pty. Ltd. to undertake an assessment of vegetation on 1 Laguna Street; Boreen Point
described as Lot 21 on RP 839106. The assessment was conducted in response to Noosa
Council letter to client P&S Pty. Ltd. Dated 24 August 2006. (Ref: 2006/1354).

1.2 Site Description

The subject site has a total area of approximately 4395m2 > (Murray & Associates —
Consulting Surveyors). No houses or other structures exist on the subject land. The
majority of the property boundary is not fenced at present. The subject land is relatively flat’
adjacent to Laguna Street but increasingly falls away toward the south west. The site is
typically sandy with a patchy shallow organic layer beneath existing vegetation.

The site surrounds an existing Telstra facility on three sides. Refer to figure 1. .

At the time of survey for this assessment clearing works had been undertaken on the
proposed lots 1-7 for building sites with covenant areas being generally intact with
indigenous vegetation. The aforementioned lots were predominantly weed free with
evidence of ongoing weed management in place. Revegetation with locally occurring

- native species was also evident along with natural regeneration in buffer/covenants to
Laguna Street.
Proposed lot 8 has not been cleared recently and still has vegetation intact as described
below.

2.0 METHODOLOGY :

Prior to visiting the site a desktop survey was conducted using a number of reference
materials and web sites with the most relevant being:

Noosa Council and Queensland EPA. ©

The study area was confined to proposed lot 8 as operational works are complete for
previous portions (lots 1-7) as stated above.

Investigations of the subject site were conducted on March 1*. 2007. Given the relatively
small area of the subject site the main method employed was to generally traverse the site
from tree to tree (identifying larger tree species ie.>300DBH). During the survey other
native vegetation were also noted along with weed species. The author, having
demonstrated experience in flora assessments, identified the species.

The location of trees as shown on figure 1 were identified roughly from known points or
‘ estimated on site in conjunction with site plans. Therefore locations shall not be
considered accurate unless a further detailed survey is undertaken.

The presence or signs of fauna were also investigated. This was by no means a rigorous
. undertaking but more to recognise the habitat value of existing vegetation.

Noosa Shire Council Strategic Plan Kin Kin/Cootharaba/Boreen Point Locality has portions
of the site mapped as Open Space — Conservation & Waterway Protection as preferred
dominant land use designation. Refer figure 2. For further discussion refer to section 4
below.

Vegetation Management Act Essential Habitat - Species Habitat Factors, have the site
labelled 29186 ~ Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) southeast Queensland bioregion.

The site is not shown as ‘koala living area’ on Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation
and Management Program 2006 — 2016, Noosa Council, Feb. 2006. In addition Noosa
Councils Schedule 7 Map — Koala Conservation Areas does not include the Boreen Point
area.

', 3.1 Site Vegetation: .

Proposed lot 8 is generally covered with vegetation being predominantly indigenous ~
regrowth. The vegetation community may be described as a mostly closed Eucalypt forest
with a patchy understorey mix of tree regeneration and shrub species. Anthropogenic
influences such as clearing, access tracks and dumped refuse have degraded the area
resulting in creating some open space patches and a lack of old growth or fully mature
specimens.

LOT 21 RP 839106 BOREEN POINT NOOSA SHIRE

 

Below is an indicative description of the structural and some of thé species diversity
existing on site:

Emergent & Canopy:
Eucalyptus grandis & Corymbia intermedia

Mid to Upper Stratum: .
Lophostemon confertus & Acacia disparrima

Understorey:
Babingtonia bidwillii, Acacias & juveniles of above species

Amongst the dominant trees and shrubs above a number of indigenous species were also
identified in lesser abundance: :

Austromyrtus dulcis, Dianella spp., Cordyline spp.,Phebalium woombye, Monotoca
scoparia., Pilidiostigma rhytispermum, Lomandra spp., Melaleuca quinquenervia, Notelaea
longifolia, Polycias elegans, Smilax spp., Syzygium oleosum & Zieria smithii.

Weed species are evident in relatively smail numbers. :
Lantana camara & Schefflera actinophylla are the most common species with the odd
garden escapee such as Asparagus fern scattered throughout. Typical edge effects of
‘weed intrusion are not prevalent. These edges are usually dominated by a relatively dense
array of native shrubs.

Large habitat trees either dead or alive with multiple hollows or nesting sites were not
observed. This is most likely due to previous clearing | and the relatively young age of most
of the existing vegetation.

Larger specimens have been individually identified as detailed on figure 1.
The list of trees and their particulars are detailed in appendix 1.

3.2 ‘Site Fauna:

During site investigations of vegetation, casual surveillance of trees and ground was
undertaken to identify fauna or evidence of fauna visiting the site. The survey was not
intensive by any means although focus was on the target species, koala. No evidence was
- found of koalas being on site at the time of survey. No signs of possible koala scratches or
scats indicating past visits were located.

Areas denuded of leaf litter most likely from Brush Turkey (Alectura lathami) mound
building activity were confirmed by sighting one such bird on site. Note that a large mound
exists on proposed lot 5. .

A small number of ant mounds averaging around 300mm high were also found scattered
over the site.

40 DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATIONS ;
The sites vegetation is dominated by regenerating indigenous species, but does not have
the old growth to support fauna requiring features such as nesting hollows etc. at present.
‘This being the case it still provides an important link and refuge between a growing
urbanised induced fragmentation of bushland. To continue this function a connective
corridor from north to south is required to allow fauna movement between surrounding
remnant and non-remnant forested areas. It should be noted that adjacent to the south of
the site is area that has been revegetated in the last 12 months or so that will assist in
providing habitat into. the future.

The superseded Planning Scheme, section 11.6 Open Space & Environmental Issues has
portions of the site mapped. as 5 Open Space — Conservation & Waterway Protection, refer
. to Figure 2.

These mapped portions are closely aligned to proposed buffers therefore generally
upholding the intent of the schemes strategic aim. To achieve the objective of protecting
environmental values, environmental covenants should be placed on these retained

" portions of vegetation. .

The currant layout for proposed lot 8 (refer to figure 1) seeks to protect strategic portions
of the existing vegetation. Vegetated buffers to the north, south and. west (Laguna Street,
Tewah Road & Louis Bazzo Drive respectively) will protect approx. 1900m2 of the total
approx. 3770mz2 of lots 8&9. It is estimated that of the 22 larger trees identified on the:
subject site at least 15 may be protected within covenanted areas.

It is thought that the buffers described above, especially to Louis Bazzo Drive being
around 20m in width, may provide a reasonable vegetated corridor and refuge to ground
and tree dwelling fauna. Additional vegetation in the road reserve should be protected, as
this will increase the total width of the widest section of buffer. To further improve the
retained portions of the development site weed species must be removed and controlled.

The opportunity may exist to retain further portions of vegetation outside of the proposed
environmental covenant areas. This will involve further investigation once the site layout
has been approved and survey pegged.

It is important that vegetation to be protected is easily identified and temporarily fenced off
to prevent accidental clearing during operational works operatioris.,

Vegetation Survey Report

Proposed Subdivision of Lot 8 SP191680 (previously part of Lot 21 RP839106)
Laguna Street, Boreen Point

1. Introduction

Lot 8 is proposed to be subdivided into 2 lots, proposed Lot 9 of 2740m? and
proposed Lot 8, of 1660m?. Proposed Lot 9 contains 1785m? of ‘ Open Space
Conservation designated area under the Strategic Plan consisting of a 9m strip
parallel to Laguna Street and a 20.1m strip parallel to Boreen Road. Proposed Lot
8 contains 129m? of ‘ Open Space Conservation’ designated area consisting of a
4m strip parallel to Tewah Road.

2. Vegetation Clearing
1.1 Vegetation Clearing within areas designated “Open Space Conservation’

No vegetation clearing is proposed within areas designated ‘Open Space
Conservation’ under the Strategic Plan.

1.2 Vegetation Clearing Driveways and Parking

No vegetation clearing is proposed to driveways and parking areas for the lots as
per attached Plan A. The clearing is not of a significant nature with the larger
trees being dead wattle trees marked as trees 9 to 14 on Plan A.

1.3 Other Vegetation Clearing

It is not proposed to do additional clearing other than the removal of umbrella
trees, lantana bush and tree trunk and limb deposited on the ground on the eastern
boundary of Lot 8.

3. Method of Clearing/ Disposal

The clearing will be by excavator and trucked to the Noosa Tip or a firewood sale
destination (if available). A bobcat will clear smaller remaining debris and tidy
the ground condition.

AMENDED EFFLUENT DISPOSAL
REPORT

11 March 2007
Effluent Disposal Report

Proposed Subdivision of Lot 8 SP191680 (previously part of Lot 21 RP839106)
Laguna Street Boreen Point

1. Introduction

Bowler Geotechnical Report 3436 C Dated 22/5/04, Annexure C, investigated
the suitability of the above site for subdivision into 7 residential lots and ‘one balance
area’ being Lot 8, with respect to on site domestic waste water disposal; in accordance
with the requirements of the AS/NZ, 1547-2000 Standard. A current subdivision proposal
is.to subdivide Lot 8 into 2 lots of 2740m2 and 1660m2.

On 12/6/06 two additional permeability tests were carried out at positions
nominated as ‘effluent disposal’ areas on Murray & Associates Plan # 38411-le (see
Annexure A). The soil type and permeability are noted in Bowler Geotechnical
correspondence of 16/6/06 and 20/3/07 (see Annexure B).

2. Background and Site Description

Bowler Geotechnical carried out previous investigations and issued three
previous reports for the same site, which detailed the soil permeability and soil profile
for the proposed lots.

November 2002 - Job Report # 3436. Subdivision consisted of 8 proposed residential

lots and one proposed shopping village. Field investigations 13/11/02 comprised
permeability tests and bore logs.

December 2003- Job Report # 3436B. Subdivision consisting of 7 proposed residential
lots and one proposed shopping village. Field investigations 20/11/03 comprised
permeability tests. : . a - i ,
May 2004- Job Report # 3436C. Subdivision consisting of 7 proposed residential lots and
‘one balance area’.

All site and soil conditions relevant to this report have been assumed to be the
same as cited in the previous investigation reports, in which the homes were assumed to
have four bedrooms (6 occupants), and the water supply was from above ground rain
water tanks; no water saving fixture were allowed for.

Page 25

Due to the proximity of adjacent lots, it is recommended that treatment of effluent
be to a secondary level; however disposal area size has been calculated using primary
effluent parameters (worst case scenario).

3. Daily Flow Allowances

Population equivalent for 4 bedroom homes is 6 EP (ASNZ1547:2000).
Water use for households with standard fixtures, using water supplied by onsite
Rainwater tanks is 140 L/person/day (AS/NZ 1547;2000).

Daily Design Flow (Q) = 6EP x 140 Lip/d
= 840 litres/day

4. Investigation Works

The permeability tests were carried out by Bowler Geotechnical, using a test hole
100mm in diameter and 450mm deep, according to the method set out in appendix 4.1F
of AS1547-2000 ‘On site domestic wastewater management’ (Constant Head Method).

The subsurface profile of the site has been established previously by Bowler
Geotechnical , consisting generally of a sand layers to depths of 1.5m and classification
as Category 1 (Gravels and Sands) or Category 2 (Sandy Loams) as per AS/1547:2000
(see Report 3436 C). At the particular test hole locations Bowler Geotechnical
correspondance of 20 March 2007 refers to the soil encountered as Sand (massive) and
would be considered to be Category 1.

4.1 Permeability Test Results
Lot 8 (Location 2*) : Ksat = 3.79m/day

*Note that the location of this test was in a different position to a previous Test
HoleA approximately 30m S-W which recorded a low permeability, per Bowler Job
Report # 3436.

Lot 9 (Location 1) : Ksat = 3.41m/day

5. Design Loading Rate

The lower indicative permeability for Lots 8 and 9 is Ksat 3.4 m/day, the assigned
Design load rate (DLR) for that lot is selected as 20 mm/day; obtained from Table 4.2A1
in ASNZ1547-2000, which shows a range of 20mm/day to 35mm/day for the given
parameters.

Page 26

6. Effluent Disposal Area Design Type and Size

From Clause 4.2A7.3.2 of ASNZ1547-2000, disposal area size is determined from

The formula:
L= QADLRxW) or Area = Q/DLR

Where: L= length in metres
Q daily design rate in I/day
DLR= design load rate in mm/day

W= width in metres
If a daily design flow (Q) OF 840 I/day is adopted and given that the DLR is insert
30mm/day, as stated above, the reduired disposal area is as follows;
Area = 840/20
= 42.0 m2

Therefore it is considered that a maximum area of 42m2 of conventional absorption bed,
disposing of secondary treated effluent, will be required for effective effluent disposal of

Lots 8 and 9.

6.1 Effluent Disposal Bed Layout

Refer to Annexure B for the recommended effluent disposal bed layout over an
area of 3.25m wide and 13.0m length.

7, Conclusion

For Lots 8 and 9 the maximum disposal area that will 42 m2 per lot.

Dear Colin,

‘RE: PERMEABILITY TESTS AND SOAKED CBR TEST

1 (LOT 21) LAGUNA STREET, BOREEN POINT

As requested two permeability tests and one soaked CBR test have been carried out at
the captioned project.

The soaked CBR test was taken at CH35, 1m south of the existing road pavement, at a
depth of 0.2m to 0.8m below existing surface level and the result was CBR17%. | -

The two permeability tests were carried out using a test hole 100mm in diameter and
450mm deep, according to the method set out in appendix 4.1F of AS1547-2000 ‘On
site domestic-wastewater management’ (Constant Head Method). The permeability
tests at the locations shown on the attached site plan, were as follows:

Location 1 - Ksar = 3.79m/day; Location 2 - Ksar = 3.41m/day
