Decision Notice DBW23/0023

                      Sustainability
               2.     Council encourages sustainable and energy efficient building design for all development,
                      including the use of sustainable building materials, energy efficient fittings, solar hot water,
                      photovoltaic systems (including the use of inverter/charges), solar panels, water saving
                      devices and rainwater harvesting.
                      Fires in Urban Areas
               3.     In urban areas fires are prohibited except where in an appliance is used for domestic heating
                      or cooking purposes, which must comply with particular standards. Any area identified as a
                      fire pit area on approved plans is to be in accordance with Local Law & Subordinate Local
                      Law No. 3, Schedule 3. Refer to the following link for details:

                      Infrastructure Charges
               4.     All developments and/or changes to existing developments may require payment of
                      “Infrastructure Charges” (as applicable) in accordance with Council’s “Charges Resolution”
                      made pursuant to the planning legislation and regulations current at the time of issue. For
                      further       information,     please        refer to https://www.noosa.qld.gov.au/planning-

                      Turtle Habitat Protection
               5.     To minimise the impact of development on turtle nesting sites and the sea-finding behaviour
                      of hatchlings, the following actions are recommended to be undertaken during construction of
                      the development:
                      a.      Construction works are to be restricted to daylight hours during the turtle nesting and
                              hatching season (October – May).
                      b.      Flood lighting must not be used from October – May (turtle nesting and hatching
                              season).
               6.     All lighting should be positioned and managed to reduce sky glow and light spill onto the
                      beach to minimise disruption to turtle nesting and sea-finding behaviour of hatchlings.
                      Management measures include reduced intensity, long wavelength lights; shielded, low to
                      the ground, and directed onto areas of interest; low reflectance building surfaces and paint;
                      and tinted external glass. The following should be incorporated into the development:
                      a. All windows, glass doors, glass panels and sky lights facing the beach (NE, E, SE) to
                         have 15% visible light transmittance tinting.
                      b. All windows, glass doors, glass panels and sky lights facing the beach (NE, E, SE) to be
                         fitted with opaque blinds, to be drawn from 8:00 pm during turtle nesting and hatching
                         season (October – May).
                      c. Indoor and outdoor paint/surfaces/fixtures to be matte and dark in colour and have a
                         maximum reflectance value of 30%.
                      d. All outdoor lights to have a maximum of 2700 K correlated colour temperature (CCT). All
                         indoor lights to have a maximum of 3000 K CCT. All lighting (interior and exterior) to
                         avoid the use of halogen, metal halide, or fluorescent lights.
                      e. Amber LED (590-610 nm) or low pressure sodium lighting to be used as a standard.
                         Warm white is to be used only where colour rendition is required. LED lights should not
                         contain short wavelength blue light and supplier should be asked to provide spectral
                         power curve of requested LEDs to prove the absence of short wavelengths.
                      f. The number and wattage of lights to be minimised.
                      g. All lights to be recessed into structures and roof, and directed away from the turtle nesting
                         habitat.
                      h. No lighting should be located on the roof of the building.
                      i. All outdoor lights, including balcony lights, to be turned off between 8:00 pm and sunrise
                         during turtle nesting and hatching season (October – May).
