Representations to SARA

 “Adamson Town Planning, specialising in providing higher order town planning advice”




It should be noted that the existing Waste and Recycling Facility has operated from the site since
about 2005 under the current development approvals. The Waste and Recycling Facility is a
community facility required for the management of waste for the Noosa community and other
properties nearby. There is currently no restriction on the use of the development area under the
current development approvals. It is not reasonable for Area C7 to be located within the development
operational area, which conflicts with the existing and proposed infrastructure under both the current
development approvals and the current ‘other change’ request and the future operation of the Waste
and Recycling Facility.

Representations to Condition 2

Condition 2 of the referral agency response, states:

Carry out the stormwater management of the development generally in accordance with ‘Stormwater
Quantity’ of the Stormwater Management Plan, prepared by Covey Associates Pty Ltd, dated Feb 2025,
reference M25-0042Rpt, Issue A, as amended in red by SARA.

It is understood that the stormwater quantity component of the Stormwater Management Plan
(SWMP), prepared by Covey has been approved with respect to the areas highlighted in red. The
applicant requests confirmation that no amendments are required to the SWMP, with the areas
highlighted in red being relevant to the assessment by SARA.

In summary, it is requested that the VMP be amended to be consistent with the current development
approvals for the site, including previous referral agency responses and the proposed development
under the current ‘other change’ request. To that end, the VMP is to provide for the expansion of the
RRA (Area A1) and the existing development area towards the southeast (Area A), which should not
be included within Area B1. Further, that Area C7 be removed from all operational and proposed
development areas and if required, be located to the north and east of the existing development area,
where theoretically essentially management clearing can currently occur, if that is the intent for Area
C7, with limited infrastructure allowed within this area. Confirmation is also being sought that no
amendments are required to the Stormwater Management Plan, with the relevant parts being
associated with stormwater quantity as highlighted in red.

It is requested that the required amendments to the VMP be discussed before the representations are
finalised.
