                            confirmation report is to indicate that the internal noise levels of all bedrooms and
                            living areas will achieve satisfactory internal noise levels due to all noise sources
                            associated with the operations of the hotel on the site.

                  Issue – Bushfire Management Plan
                  The JWA Ecological Consultant letter dated 16 December 2017 refers to an approved
                  Bushfire Management Plan by Council in October 2015. Council does not have a record of
                  an approval relating to an approved Bushfire Management Plan for the site.

                  Information Request:

                       19. Provide evidence of Council’s approval in October 2015 of the Bushfire
                           Management Plan (DFS Group 2015) as described in dot point one of JWA
                           Ecological Consultant letter dated 16 December 2017.

                  Issue – Bushfire Management Plan
                  The Bushfire Management Plan (DFS Group 2015) addresses bushfire management
                  associated with the development of south eastern most portion of the site -IGA (figure 2).
                  The use of this portion of the site is materially different, in location, size and use, to the
                  proposed use of the site. The Bushfire Management Plan does not address the proposed
                  use of the site and compliance with the Natural Hazards Overlay Code for Bushfire Hazard
                  Area.

                  Information Request:

                       20. Prepare a Bushfire Management Plan for the proposed use of the site that
                           addresses the requirements of the Noosa Plan Natural Hazards Overlay Code for
                           Bushfire Hazard Area.

                  Issue – Bushfire Management Plan
                  The JWA Ecological Consultant letter dated 16 December 2017 refers to adjacent land to
                  the west (park) contributing to the asset protection zone. This is not acceptable to Council
                  as all bushfire management requirements/measures must be wholly contained and
                  managed by the proposed development. Reliance on land managers outside the
                  development area for reducing bushfire risk must not be a bushfire response strategy.

                  Information Request:

                       21. Prepare a Bushfire Management Plan for the proposed use of the site that
                           addresses the requirements of the Noosa Plan Natural Hazards Overlay Code for
                           Bushfire Hazard Area. All bushfire management requirements/measures must be
                           wholly contained and managed by the proposed development and not rely on or
                           place liability on adjacent landholders.

                  Issue – Bushfire Management
                  The State Planning Policy – Natural Hazards and Risks and Resilience Bushfire Hazard
                  mapping shows the lot containing Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity and Potential Impact
                  Buffer. The referenced Bushfire Management Plan (DFS Group 2015) classifies the
                  Potential Bushfire Intensity as Very High using the Quantitative Risk Modelling.
