                                                              EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

            North Coast Environmental Services have been commissioned to prepare an Ecological Assessment
            Report for Lot 21 on SP316902, located at 25 Pavilion Street, Pomona. The report was requested
            to identify the environmental values of the site and assess the impacts of a proposed reconfiguration
            of a lot development application related to the site. The outcomes of the environmental investigations
            identified the following:
                 •    The site supports local and State level biodiversity values.
                 •    Areas within the site are mapped within the Noosa Plan 2020 Biodiversity, Waterways, and
                      Wetlands overlay map as containing the following overlays:
                        o Areas of Biodiversity Significance;
                        o MSES Environmental Values;
                        o Waterways;
                        o MSES Regulated Vegetation – Category R GBR riverine; and
                        o Riparian Buffer Area.
                 •    One vegetation community was observed within the site:
                        o Vegetation Community 1 (VC1) – Low density trees over mowed grass
            The application has been assessed against several assessment frameworks and determined to be
            compliant as follows:
                 •    The Noosa Plan 2020, Overlay Code 8.2.2 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay
                      Code – Compliant subject to Council’s acceptance of development in proximity to a mapped
                      watercourse and the mitigation strategies proposed to mitigate development impacts.
                 •    Nature Conservation Act 1992 – Compliant.
                 •    Vegetation Management Act 1999 and the associated State Code 16: Native Vegetation
                      Clearing – Compliant - No referral required.
                 •    Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 - Schedule 11, Part 2 of the Planning
                      Regulation 2017 – Proposed development complies with the Assessment Benchmarks.
                 •    Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 – Generally compliant. No
                      significant impacts anticipated to any matters of national environmental significance.

            Lot 21 on SP316902 – 25 Pavilion Street, Pomona




            1     INTRODUCTION

            1.1       Background
            North Coast Environmental Services have been commissioned to prepare an Ecological Assessment
            Report for Lot 21 on SP316902, located at 25 Pavilion Street, Pomona (referred to herein as ‘the
            site’). The report was requested to identify the environmental values of the site and to determine the
            suitability of a reconfiguration of a lot development application related to the site. The scope of works
            addressed in this report comprises:
                  •    A desktop assessment of the potential ecological planning constraints acting on the site;
                  •    A site inspection to ‘ground truth’ the results of the desktop findings;
                  •    A flora and fauna habitat survey of the site;
                  •    A discussion of the likely impacts of the proposed development on the ecological resources
                       identified through the desktop and field investigations;
                  •    Analysis of compliance with relevant government environmental assessment frameworks
                       identified through the desktop assessment process; and
                  •    Identification of suitable mitigation measures to minimise the environmental impacts of the
                       proposed development and to assist in securing relevant development permits.
            1.2       Development Proposal
            The applicant is seeking approval to subdivide the site into 10 new allotments; 9 new residential
            allotments and 1 rural allotment. The eastern extent of the site is located within the low-density
            residential zone and is proposed to be subdivided to form 9 new residential allotments. The western
            extent of the site is contained within the rural zone and is proposed to consist of one large rural
            allotment. Access is proposed via a new internal roadway connecting to Pavilion Street.
            The Plan of Development is included as Appendix 1.
            1.3       Site Description
            The site measures 2.997ha and is contained on the edge of the built residential area of the Pomona
            township. Residential allotments adjoin the eastern site extent, with the Pomona showgrounds
            located to the south of the site. Predominantly cleared rural grazing properties are located to the
            north of the site, and a semi-vegetated rural allotment containing the Cooroora Creek riparian
            corridor is located to the west of the site.
            The eastern extent of the site contains established fruit tree orchards, with low density mature trees
            present within the centre of the site. The western site extent is characterised by predominantly
            mowed pasture with very few trees. A small dam is located adjacent to the northern boundary in the
            centre of the site.
            Plate 1 depicts the site’s position in the landscape and the extent of existing development.

            3.8       EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Tool
            The EPBC Act Protected Matters Search Result identified that the following Matters of National
            Environmental Significance (MNES) have the potential to be present within a 2km radius of the site:
                  •    The ‘critically endangered’ Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia TEC;
                  •    15 listed migratory species;
                  •    19 listed threatened flora species; and
                  •    29 listed threatened fauna species.
            The EPBC Protected Matters Search uses bio-climatic modelling to predict where protected matters
            may be present in an area and therefore does not necessarily indicate the actual recorded presence
            of protected matters.

            3.9       Surrounding Habitat and Connectivity
            Aerial imagery was reviewed to assess the extent of vegetation/habitat surrounding the site which
            has the potential to facilitate dispersal opportunities for flora and terrestrial fauna species (refer to
            Plate 9).
            Residential land uses dominate the landscape to the east of the site. The landscape to the north,
            south and west contains a mosaic of cleared pastureland and vegetated corridors. The site contains
            only scattered vegetation with limited connectivity to adjoining vegetation contained within
            neighboring allotments. The vegetated riparian corridor associated with Cooroora Creek is located
            adjacent to the site’s western boundary. This unit of vegetation provides the most significant
            vegetated corridor through the local landscape.

            4     FIELD SURVEY RESULTS

            4.1       General
            The following sections detail the findings of the field survey undertaken on 29 July 2021, as per the
            methodology described in Section 2.2.

            4.2       Conservation Significant Flora Species
            No species listed under the NC Act or the EPBC Act were observed within the site. All species
            observed were listed as Least Concern under the NC Act and were observed to be common
            throughout the local landscape.

            4.3       Vegetation Communities
            One vegetation community was observed within the site:
                  •    Vegetation Community 1 (VC1) – Low density trees over mowed grass
            The distribution of the vegetation within the site is shown in Figure 1 with a description of the
            vegetation community presented below.

            4.3.1      Vegetation Community 1 – Low density trees over mowed grass
            The vegetation within the site consists of individual trees over mowed grass. The western extent of
            the site is characterised by a large expanse of mowed/slashed grassland with occasional trees
            including mature Eucalyptus robusta (swamp mahogany) and the exotic weed trees Cinnamomum
            camphora (camphor laurel) and Pinus elliotii (slash pine) (refer to VC1a on Figure 1). A narrow band
            of predominantly Pinus elliottii (slash pine) is located flanking the small onsite dam which is adjacent
            to the northern site boundary (refer to VC1b on Figure 1). The central extent of the site contains a
            small number of mature Eucalyptus tereticornis (Queensland blue gum) interspersed with the exotic
            weed species Cinnamomum camphora (camphor laurel) (refer to VC1c on Figure 1). The eastern
            extent of the site is dominated by planted fruit trees including an established orchard of jaboticaba
            trees, lychees and pecan nut trees (refer to VC1d on Figure 1).
            Plate 10 and Plate 11 depicts typical vegetation within VC1.

            4.4       Fauna

            4.4.1      Fauna Habitat Values
            The observed habitat within the site includes open pasture, individual trees and a small dam, all of
            which exhibit potential to provide suitable habitat for numerous fauna species.
            A specific fauna survey of the site was not undertaken as part of the scope of works and would be
            required to confirm the specific fauna species utilising the site’s habitat. Nonetheless, inferences
            about the composition of the local fauna assemblage can be drawn from local knowledge, site
            conditions and database search results.
            The site contains a variety of fauna habitat types and exhibits direct connectivity with offsite
            vegetation which flank gullies and drainage lines. The site offers fauna species the following habitat
            opportunities:
                  •    Open canopy and mid-canopy nesting sites and perches which may be used by birds and
                       arboreal mammals;
                  •    Flower pollen from the mix of canopy and mid-strata species may provide a food source for
                       nectivorous species including possums, gliders, flying foxes and birds;
                  •    Sun exposed areas below canopy gaps and on forest fringes may be suitable habitat for
                       exothermic reptiles such as snakes, skinks, small lizards and possibly larger reptiles such as
                       lace monitors;
                  •    Areas of light to heavy leaf litter have the potential to host small reptiles, amphibious species
                       and may provide breeding opportunities for brush turkeys;
                  •    A permanent dam which provides suitable habitat for aquatic and amphibian species; and
                  •    Grass and sedge groundcovers (native and exotic) have the potential to provide shelter and
                       movement pathways for small terrestrial mammals as well as foraging and resting areas for
                       larger macropods.
            No conservation significant fauna species were incidentally observed during the site investigation.
            No arboreal hollows or nests were observed within the site.
            The site does not support estuarine areas hence is unlikely to host suitable habitat for wetland
            migratory bird species.

            5     DEVELOPMENT IMPACTS AND MITIGATION

            5.1     Flora and Vegetation Communities

            5.1.1     Impacts
            5.1.1.1 Removal of Native Vegetation
            The majority of vegetation required to be removed to facilitate the development consists of existing
            fruit tree orchards (VC1d), a small number of mature E. tereticornis (Queensland blue gum) and
            Cinnamomum camphora (camphor laurel) (VC1c) and some Pinus elliotii (slash pine) within VC1d.
            None of these vegetation units are captured within Council’s Biodiversity, Waterways, and Wetlands
            overlay mapping.
            A small amount of vegetation within the mapped Area of Biodiversity Significance and MSES
            Regulated Vegetation overlay may be impacted to develop Lots 1-5. The majority of the native
            vegetation at the location is growing within the Pomona Showgrounds which adjoins the southern
            site boundary. Council’s mapping has included the canopy overhang of the large trees present within
            the showgrounds and therefore extended the mapped Area of Biodiversity Significance and MSES
            Regulated Vegetation into the site. A narrow band of vegetation is present along the site boundary
            however consists of either planted fruit trees or exotic species including Cinnamomum camphora
            (camphor laurel), Eugenia uniflora (Brazilian cherry), and other exotic weed species. It should be
            noted that all vegetation within the mapped area which may be impacted to facilitate proposed Lots
            1-5 is located within 5m of the existing boundary and therefore could likely currently be cleared under
            existing boundary clearing exemptions.
            It is also noted that MSES Environmental Values are mapped extending into the southern extent of
            the site in the proximity to the proposed building envelope within Lot 6. This overlay is based on the
            extent of Category B regulated vegetation which has been incorrectly mapped by the State in this
            location. Limited woody vegetation occurs at the mapped location and it is considered that the
            mapping overlay is not applicable as no remnant vegetation occurs which could be impacted by the
            proposed development.
            Council’s Biodiversity, Waterways, and Wetlands overlay mapping depicts a first order waterway in
            proximity to the proposed Lot 6 building envelope. No formal waterway containing defined bed and/or
            banks was observed in the location as mapped by Council. A small, engineered, mowed, grassy
            swale was observed which would capture sheet flow from the eastern slope in prolonged rain events.
            The swale would direct flows into the onsite dam. No formal spillway was observed on the dam wall
            and no defined channel exiting the dam was observed, indicating that the majority of water captured
            by the drainage swale would be expected to be retained within the dam. The blue hatched line in
            Plate 12 depicts the condition of the mapped waterway. No woody vegetation is present flanking the
            majority of the mapped waterway (precluding exotic pine trees surrounding the dam).

            5.1.2     Mitigation Measures
            The Plan of development has been designed to minimise impacts to vegetation contained within the
            site.
            Council have indicated during a pre-lodgment meeting that it is a likely that any approval issued
            would include a requirement to establish a covenant within the western extent of the site over the
            mapped riparian buffer area. The covenant area would be rehabilitated/revegetated to enhance and
            protect the ecological values contained within Cooroora Creek which is located offsite to the west.
            This initiative represents a positive ecological outcome associated with the application. The details
            of this initiative are proposed to be presented with the future OPW application for the project.

            5.2       Fauna

            5.2.1      Impacts
            The proposed development will necessitate a very small amount of impact to fauna habitat in the
            context of the site and the habitat available in the local landscape. No arboreal hollows or nests were
            observed within the individual trees which would be cleared to facilitate the development. The small
            number of native trees required to be cleared have limited habitat potential for fauna species hence
            the impacts to fauna species are expected to be relatively low.
            The impacts to fauna species primarily relate to the following:
                  •    Removal of individual tree species which may provide an occasional foraging source;
                  •    Potential injury or death of individual fauna species during vegetation clearing; and
                  •    Site intensification which has the potential to increase long term impacts to fauna associated
                       with introduction of domestic pets, reduced nocturnal habitat/foraging suitability via
                       introduction of artificial lighting of external buildings environs.

            5.2.2      Mitigation Measures
            The impact of the proposed clearing to fauna is proposed to be mitigated/minimised by:
                  •    The presence of a suitably licensed and experienced fauna spotter catcher on site during any
                       individual tree clearing.
                  •    Revegetation of the mapped riparian buffer area which will introduce fauna habitat in
                       proximity to the offsite riparian vegetation (over time).

            6     LEGISLATION AND OVERLAYS

            6.1     Local Government

            6.1.1     Noosa Council Planning Scheme 2020 – Biodiversity Overlay
            Table 2 describes the proposal’s compliance with the Performance Outcomes and associated
            Acceptable Outcomes of the Code as detailed in Part 8 Overlays, Table 8.2.2.3 of the Noosa Plan
            2020. Overall, the proposed development has been determined to be compliant subject to Council’s
            acceptance of minor impacts to the mapped Waterway and Area of Biodiversity Significance and
            MSES Regulated Vegetation overlay and the mitigation strategies proposed to mitigate these
            impacts.

            6.2.1     Vegetation Management Act 1999 - Regulated Vegetation
            DoR’s Vegetation Management Supporting Map identifies Category B (Remnant Vegetation) and
            Category R (Reef Regrowth) regulated vegetation within the site. No impacts to the mapped
            Category R vegetation are proposed.
            Schedule 10, Part 3, Division 4, Table 2 of the Planning Regulation 2017 requires any reconfiguration
            of a lot application that is assessable development under section 21, which includes an allotment
            which is 5ha or larger, to be referred to SARA for assessment against SDAP State Code 16 - Native
            vegetation clearing. The site measures less than 5ha hence referral is not required.

            The site is located within the Koala Priority Area and no Koala Habitat Area is located within the site.
            The nearest unit of mapped koala habitat occurs approximately 140m west of the proposed Lot 6
            building envelope.
            Where a development proposal within a Koala Priority Area does not require the removal of koala
            habitat, assessment under Schedule 11, Part 2 of the Planning Regulation 2017 is required.

              safety purposes.                                     safety purposes.

              Examples of clearing for safety purposes:
              clearing for a fire break or to reduce risks from
              falling branches.

            6.2.3     Nature Conservation Act 1992
            6.2.3.1 Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map
            The Protected Plants Flora Survey Trigger Map identifies that the mapped regulated vegetation
            within the site is mapped as a ‘high risk area’ prescribed under the Nature Conservation (Plants)
            Regulation 2020). It is noted that the mapped areas are incorrectly mapped over existing cleared
            areas or capture canopy overhang from offsite vegetation contained within the adjoining Pomona
            Showgrounds. No clearing impacts are proposed to any vegetation within the mapped extent of the
            high risk area and therefore an exempt clearing notification and/or clearing permit is not required
            under the Nature Conservation Act 1992.
            6.2.3.2 Fauna
            A fauna spotter/catcher is recommended to be present during any future clearing activities to satisfy
            the duty of care requirements under the Nature Conservation (Animals) Regulation 2020. Where
            active breeding habitat for least concern native fauna is observed, the applicant will be required to
            comply with DES’s Species Management Program – low risk of impacts. Where active breeding
            habitat for Conservation Significant fauna (including Special Least concern animals or colonial
            breeding species) is observed, the applicant will be required to prepare and submit a DES compliant
            Species Management Program – High risk of impacts for approval prior to clearing commencing.

            6.3     Commonwealth Government
            No Matters of National Environmental Significance (MNES) were identified during the field
            investigation undertaken within the site. Whilst a fauna survey has not been completed the results
            of the habitat assessment infers that the threatened fauna species identified in the Protected Matters
            Search Report have a low potential to occur within the site due to the limited amount of suitable
            habitat and/or a lack of existing records in the locality. Furthermore, the extent of clearing is unlikely
            to result in a significant impact to any populations of the listed EPBC fauna species hence a referral
            to the Commonwealth government under the EPBC Act is deemed unnecessary at this time.

            Lot 21 on SP316902 – 25 Pavilion Street, Pomona



            7     CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

            7.1       Conclusion
            A desktop and field investigation have been undertaken to determine the environmental values
            present within Lot 21 on SP316902, located at 25 pavilion Street Pomona. The outcomes of the
            desktop and field investigations identified the following:
                  •    The site supports local and State level biodiversity values.
                  •    Areas within the site are mapped within the Noosa Plan 2020 Biodiversity, Waterways, and
                       Wetlands overlay map as containing the following overlays:
                        o Areas of Biodiversity Significance;
                        o MSES Environmental Values;
                        o Waterways;
                        o MSES Regulated Vegetation – Category R GBR riverine; and
                        o Riparian Buffer Area.
                  •    One vegetation community was observed within the site:
                        o Vegetation Community 1 (VC1) – Low density trees over mowed grass
            The application has been assessed against several assessment frameworks and determined to be
            compliant as follows:
                  •    The Noosa Plan 2020, Overlay Code 8.2.2 Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay
                       Code – Compliant subject to Council’s acceptance of development in proximity to a mapped
                       watercourse and the mitigation strategies proposed to mitigate development impacts.
                  •    Nature Conservation Act 1992 – Compliant.
                  •    Vegetation Management Act 1999 and the associated State Code 16: Native Vegetation
                       Clearing – Compliant - No referral required.
                  •    Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 - Schedule 11, Part 2 of the Planning
                       Regulation 2017 – Proposed development complies with the Assessment Benchmarks.
                  •    Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 – Generally compliant. No
                       significant impacts anticipated to any matters of national environmental significance.

            7.2       Recommendations
            The following recommendations are set to reduce the environmental impact of the proposal:
                  •    A suitably qualified and experienced fauna spotter/catcher is present during any vegetation
                       clearing; and
                  •    A conservation covenant is be registered over the mapped riparian protection area and the
                       area revegetated.

  Recent changes
  Updated mapping
  Updated vegetation mapping was released on 6 April 2020 and includes the most recent Queensland Herbarium scientific
  updates to the Regulated Vegetation Management Map, regional ecosystems, wetland, high-value regrowth and essential
  habitat mapping.

  Improvements to the format of the report were made in July 2020 to more clearly delineate the three regulatory frameworks of
  vegetation management, protected plants and koala habitat protection. The Vegetation Management Pre-clear Regional
  Ecosystem map was also removed from the Vegetation Management Report but can still be requested as a separate map.

  Overview
  Based on the lot on plan details you have supplied, this report provides the following detailed information:
  Property details - information about the specified Lot on Plan, lot size, local government area, bioregion(s), subregion(s) and
  catchment(s);

  Vegetation management framework - an explanation of the application of the framework and contact details for the
  Department of Resources who administer the framework;

  Vegetation management framework details for the specified Lot on Plan including:
       • the vegetation management categories on the property;
       • the vegetation management regional ecosystems on the property;
       • vegetation management watercourses or drainage features on the property;
       • vegetation management wetlands on the property;
       • vegetation management essential habitat on the property;
       • whether any area management plans are associated with the property;
       • whether the property is coastal or non-coastal; and
       • whether the property is mapped as Agricultural Land Class A or B;

  Protected plant framework - an explanation of the application of the framework and contact details for the Department of
  Environment and Science who administer the framework, including:
        • high risk areas on the protected plant flora survey trigger map for the property;

  Koala protection framework - an explanation of the application of the framework and contact details for the Department of
  Environment and Science who administer the framework; and

  Koala protection framework details for the specified Lot on Plan including:
        • the koala district the property is located in;
        • koala priority areas on the property;
        • core and locally refined koala habitat areas on the property;
        • whether the lot is located in an identified koala broad-hectare area; and
        • koala habitat regional ecosystems on the property for core koala habitat areas.


  This information will assist you to determine your options for managing vegetation under:
  - the vegetation management framework, which may include:
         • exempt clearing work;
         • accepted development vegetation clearing code;
         • an area management plan;
         • a development approval;

  - the protected plant framework, which may include:
         • the need to undertake a flora survey;
         • exempt clearing;
         • a protected plant clearing permit;

  - the koala protection framework, which may include:
         • exempted development;
         • a development approval;
         • the need to undertake clearing sequentially and in the presence of a koala spotter.

  Other laws
  The clearing of native vegetation is regulated by both Queensland and Australian legislation, and some local governments
  also regulate native vegetation clearing. You may need to obtain an approval or permit under another Act, such as the
  Commonwealth Government's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Section 8 of this
  guide provides contact details of other agencies you should confirm requirements with, before commencing vegetation
  clearing.

  2. Vegetation management framework (administered by the Department
  of Resources)
  The Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VMA), the Vegetation Management Regulation 2012, the Planning Act 2016 and the
  Planning Regulation 2017, in conjunction with associated policies and codes, form the Vegetation Management Framework.

  The VMA does not apply to all land tenures or vegetation types. State forests, national parks, forest reserves and some
  tenures under the Forestry Act 1959 and Nature Conservation Act 1992 are not regulated by the VMA. Managing or clearing
  vegetation on these tenures may require approvals under these laws.

  The following native vegetation is not regulated under the VMA but may require permit(s) under other laws:
         • grass or non-woody herbage;
         • a plant within a grassland regional ecosystem prescribed under Schedule 5 of the Vegetation Management
         Regulation 2012; and
         • a mangrove.



  2.1 Exempt clearing work
  Exempt clearing work is an activity for which you do not need to notify the Department of Resources or obtain an approval
  under the vegetation management framework. Exempt clearing work was previously known as exemptions.

  In areas that are mapped as Category X (white in colour) on the regulated vegetation management map (see section 4.1),
  and where the land tenure is freehold, indigenous land and leasehold land for agriculture and grazing purposes, the clearing
  of vegetation is considered exempt clearing work and does not require notification or development approval under the
  vegetation management framework. For all other land tenures, contact the Department of Resources before commencing
  clearing to ensure that the proposed activity is exempt clearing work.

  A range of routine property management activities are considered exempt clearing work. A list of exempt clearing work is
  available at
  https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/exemptions/.

  Exempt clearing work may be affected if the proposed clearing area is subject to development approval conditions, a
  covenant, an environmental offset, an exchange area, a restoration notice, or an area mapped as Category A. Exempt
  clearing work may require approval under other Commonwealth, State or Local Government laws, or local government
  planning schemes. Contact the Department of Resources prior to clearing in any of these areas.



  2.2 Accepted development vegetation clearing codes
  Some clearing activities can be undertaken under an accepted development vegetation clearing code. The codes can be
  downloaded at
  https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/codes/

  If you intend to clear vegetation under an accepted development vegetation clearing code, you must notify the Department of
  Resources before commencing. The information in this report will assist you to complete the online notification form.

  2.3 Area management plans
  Area Management Plans (AMP) provide an alternative approval system for vegetation clearing under the vegetation
  management framework. They list the purposes and clearing conditions that have been approved for the areas covered by
  the plan. It is not necessary to use an AMP, even when an AMP applies to your property.

  On 8 March 2020, AMPs ended for fodder harvesting, managing thickened vegetation and managing encroachment. New
  notifications cannot be made for these AMPs. You will need to consider options for fodder harvesting, managing thickened
  vegetation or encroachment under a relevant accepted development vegetation clearing code or apply for a development
  approval.

  New notifications can be made for all other AMPs. These will continue to apply until their nominated end date.

  If an Area Management Plan applies to your property for which you can make a new notification, it will be listed in Section 3.6
  of this report. Before clearing under one of these AMPs, you must first notify the Department of Resources and then follow
  the conditions and requirements listed in the AMP.
  https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/vegetation/area-plans/



  2.4 Development approvals
  If under the vegetation management framework your proposed clearing is not exempt clearing work, or is not permitted under
  an accepted development vegetation clearing code, or an AMP, you may be able to apply for a development approval.
  Information on how to apply for a development approval is available at
  https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/management/vegetation/development

  Please note:
  1. All area and area derived figures included in this table have been calculated via reprojecting relevant spatial features to Albers equal-area conic projection
  (central meridian = 146, datum Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994). As a result, area figures may differ slightly if calculated for the same features using a
  different co-ordinate system.
  2. If Table 5 contains a Category 'plant', please be aware that this refers to 'plantations' such as forestry, and these areas are considered non-remnant under
  the VMA.

  The VMA status of the regional ecosystem (whether it is endangered, of concern or least concern) also determines if any of
  the following are applicable:
          • exempt clearing work;
          • accepted development vegetation clearing codes;
          • performance outcomes in State Code 16 of the State Development Assessment Provisions (SDAP).



  3.3 Watercourses
  Vegetation management watercourses and drainage features for this property are shown on the vegetation management
  supporting map in section 4.2.


  3.4 Wetlands

  There are no vegetation management wetlands present on this property.


  3.5 Essential habitat
  Under the VMA, essential habitat for protected wildlife is native wildlife prescribed under the Nature Conservation Act 1992
  (NCA) as critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or near-threatened wildlife.

  Essential habitat for protected wildlife includes suitable habitat on the lot, or where a species has been known to occur up to
  1.1 kilometres from a lot on which there is assessable vegetation. These important habitat areas are protected under the
  VMA.

  Any essential habitat on this property will be shown as blue hatching on the vegetation supporting map in section 4.2.

  If essential habitat is identified on the lot, information about the protected wildlife species is provided in Table 6 below. The
  numeric labels on the vegetation management supporting map can be cross referenced with Table 6 to outline the essential
  habitat factors for that particular species. There may be essential habitat for more than one species on each lot, and areas of
  Category A, Category B and Category C can be mapped as Essential Habitat.

  Essential habitat is compiled from a combination of species habitat models and buffered species records. Regional
  ecosystem is a mandatory essential habitat factor, unless otherwise stated. Essential habitat, for protected wildlife, means an
  area of vegetation shown on the Regulated Vegetation Management Map -
         1) that has at least 3 essential habitat factors for the protected wildlife that must include any essential habitat factors
         that are stated as mandatory for the protected wildlife in the essential habitat database. Essential habitat factors are
         comprised of - regional ecosystem (mandatory for most species), vegetation community, altitude, soils, position in
         landscape; or
         2) in which the protected wildlife, at any stage of its life cycle, is located.


  If there is no essential habitat mapping shown on the vegetation management supporting map for this lot, and there is no
  table in the sections below, it confirms that there is no essential habitat on the lot.

  5. Protected plants framework (administered by the Department of
  Environment and Science (DES))
  In Queensland, all plants that are native to Australia are protected plants under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NCA). The
  NCA regulates the clearing of protected plants 'in the wild' (see Operational policy: When a protected plant in Queensland is
  considered to be 'in the wild') that are listed as critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable or near threatened under the
  Act.

  Please note that the protected plant clearing framework applies irrespective of the classification of the vegetation under the
  Vegetation Management Act 1999 and any approval or exemptions given under another Act, for example, the Vegetation
  Management Act 1999 or Planning Regulation 2017.

  5.1 Clearing in high risk areas on the flora survey trigger map
  The flora survey trigger map identifies high-risk areas for endangered, vulnerable or near threatened (EVNT) plants. These
  are areas where EVNT plants are known to exist or are likely to exist based on the habitat present. The flora survey trigger
  map for this property is provided in section 5.5.

  If you are proposing to clear an area shown as high risk on the flora survey trigger map, a flora survey of the clearing impact
  area must be undertaken by a suitably qualified person in accordance with the Flora survey guidelines. The main objective of
  a flora survey is to locate any EVNT plants that may be present in the clearing impact area.

  If the flora survey identifies that EVNT plants are not present within the clearing impact area or clearing within 100m of EVNT
  plants can be avoided, the clearing activity is exempt from a permit. An exempt clearing notification form must be submitted to
  the Department of Environment and Science, with a copy of the flora survey report, at least one week prior to clearing.

  If the flora survey identifies that EVNT plants are present in, or within 100m of, the area to be cleared, a clearing permit is
  required before any clearing is undertaken. The flora survey report, as well as an impact management report, must be
  submitted with the clearing permit application form.

  5.2 Clearing outside high risk areas on the flora survey trigger map
  In an area other than a high risk area, a clearing permit is only required where a person is, or becomes aware that EVNT
  plants are present in, or within 100m of, the area to be cleared. You must keep a copy of the flora survey trigger map for the
  area subject to clearing for five years from the day the clearing starts. If you do not clear within the 12 month period that the
  flora survey trigger map was printed, you need to print and check a new flora survey trigger map.

  5.3 Exemptions
  Many activities are 'exempt' under the protected plant clearing framework, which means that clearing of native plants that are
  in the wild can be undertaken for these activities with no need for a flora survey or a protected plant clearing permit. The
  Information sheet - General exemptions for the take of protected plants provides some of these exemptions.

  Some exemptions under the NCA are the same as exempt clearing work (formerly known as exemptions) under the
  Vegetation Management Act 1999 (i.e. listed in Schedule 21 of the Planning Regulations 2017) while some are different.

  Updates to the data informing the flora survey trigger map
  The flora survey trigger map will be reviewed, and updated if necessary, at least every 12 months to ensure the map reflects
  the most up-to-date and accurate data available.

  Species information
  Please note that flora survey trigger maps do not identify species associated with 'high risk areas'. While some species
  information may be publicly available, for example via the Queensland Spatial Catalogue, the Department of Environment
  and Science does not provide species information on request. Regardless of whether species information is available for a
  particular high risk area, clearing plants in a high risk area may require a flora survey and/or clearing permit. Please see the
  Department of Environment and Science webpage on the clearing of protected plants for more information.

  6. Koala protection framework (administered by the Department of
  Environment and Science (DES))
  The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is listed in Queensland as vulnerable by the Queensland Government under Nature
  Conservation Act 1992 and by the Australian Government under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation
  Act 1999.

  The Queensland Government's koala protection framework is comprised of the Nature Conservation Act 1992, the Nature
  Conservation (Animals) Regulation 2020, the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017, the Planning Act 2016
  and the Planning Regulation 2017.

  6.1 Koala mapping
  6.1.1 Koala districts
  The parts of Queensland where koalas are known to occur has been divided into three koala districts - koala district A, koala
  district B and koala district C. Each koala district is made up of areas with comparable koala populations (e.g. density, extent
  and significance of threatening processes affecting the population) which require similar management regimes.
  Section 7.1 identifies which koala district your property is located in.

  6.1.2 Koala habitat areas
  Koala habitat areas are areas of vegetation that have been determined to contain koala habitat that is essential for the
  conservation of a viable koala population in the wild based on the combination of habitat suitability and biophysical variables
  with known relationships to koala habitat (e.g. landcover, soil, terrain, climate and ground water). In order to protect this
  important koala habitat, clearing controls have been introduced into the Planning Regulation 2017 for development in koala
  habitat areas.

  Please note that koala habitat areas only exist in koala district A which is the South East Queensland "Shaping SEQ"
  Regional Plan area. These areas include the local government areas of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan, Lockyer Valley,
  Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Noosa, Redland, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba (urban extent).

  There are two different categories of koala habitat area (core koala habitat area and locally refined koala habitat), which have
  been determined using two different methodologies. These methodologies are described in the document Spatial modelling in
  South East Queensland.

  Section 7.2 shows any koala habitat area that exists on your property.

  Under the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017, an owner of land (or a person acting on the owner's behalf
  with written consent) can request to make, amend or revoke a koala habitat area determination if they believe, on reasonable
  grounds, that the existing determination for all or part of their property is incorrect.

  More information on requests to make, amend or revoke a koala habitat area determination can be found in the document
  Guideline - Requests to make, amend or revoke a koala habitat area determination.

  The koala habitat area map will be updated at least annually to include any koala habitat areas that have been made,
  amended or revoked.

  Changes to the koala habitat area map which occur between annual updates because of a request to make, amend or revoke
  a koala habitat area determination can be viewed on the register of approved requests to make, amend or revoke a koala
  habitat area available at: https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/koalamaps. The
  register includes the lot on plan for the change, the date the decision was made and the map issued to the landholder that
  shows areas determined to be koala habitat areas.

  6.1.3 Koala priority areas
  Koala priority areas are large, connected areas that have been determined to have the highest likelihood of achieving
  conservation outcomes for koalas based on the combination of habitat suitability, biophysical variables with known
  relationships to koala habitat (e.g. landcover, soil, terrain, climate and ground water) and a koala conservation cost benefit
  analysis.

  Conservation efforts will be prioritised in these areas to ensure the conservation of viable koala populations in the wild
  including a focus on management (e.g. habitat protection, habitat restoration and threat mitigation) and monitoring. This
  includes a prohibition on clearing in koala habitat areas that are in koala priority areas under the Planning Regulation 2017
  (subject to some exemptions).

  Please note that koala priority areas only exist in koala district A which is the South East Queensland "Shaping SEQ"
  Regional Plan area. These areas include the local government areas of Brisbane, Gold Coast, Logan, Lockyer Valley,

  Ipswich, Moreton Bay, Noosa, Redland, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba (urban extent).

  Section 7.2 identifies if your property is in a koala priority area.

  6.1.4 Identified koala broad-hectare areas
  There are seven identified koala broad-hectare areas in SEQ. These are areas of koala habitat that are located in areas
  committed to meet development targets in the SEQ Regional Plan to accommodate SEQ's growing population including
  bring-forward Greenfield sites under the Queensland Housing Affordability Strategy and declared master planned areas
  under the repealed Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and the repealed Integrated Planning Act 1997.

  Specific assessment benchmarks apply to development applications for development proposed in identified koala
  broad-hectare areas to ensure koala conservation measures are incorporated into the proposed development.

  Section 7.2 identifies if your property is in an identified koala broad-hectare area.


  6.2 Koala habitat planning controls
  On 7 February 2020, the Queensland Government introduced new planning controls to the Planning Regulation 2017 to
  strengthen the protection of koala habitat in South East Queensland (i.e. koala district A).

  More information on these planning controls can be found here:
  https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy.

  As a high-level summary, the koala habitat planning controls make:
         • development that involves interfering with koala habitat (defined below) in an area that is both a koala priority area
         and a koala habitat area, prohibited development (i.e. development for which a development application cannot be
         made);
         • development that involves interfering with koala habitat (defined below) in an area that is a koala habitat area but is
         not a koala priority area, assessable development (i.e. development for which development approval is required); and
         • development that is for extractive industries where the development involves interfering with koala habitat (defined
         below) in an area that is both a koala habitat area and a key resource area, assessable development (i.e. development
         for which development approval is required).


  Interfering with koala habitat means:
         1) Removing, cutting down, ringbarking, pushing over, poisoning or destroying in anyway, including by burning,
         flooding or draining native vegetation in a koala habitat area; but
         2) Does not include destroying standing vegetation stock or lopping a tree.


  However, these planning controls do not apply if the development is exempted development as defined in Schedule 24 of the
  Planning Regulation 2017. More information on exempted development can be found here:
  https://environment.des.qld.gov.au/wildlife/animals/living-with/koalas/mapping/legislation-policy.

  There are also assessment benchmarks that apply to development applications for:
  - building works, operational works, material change of use or reconfiguration of a lot where:
          • the local government planning scheme makes the development assessable;
          • the premises includes an area that is both a koala priority area and a koala habitat area; and
          • the development does not involve interfering with koala habitat (defined above); and

  - development in identified koala broad-hectare areas.

  The Guideline - Assessment Benchmarks in relation to Koala Habitat in South East Queensland assessment benchmarks
  outlines these assessment benchmarks, the intent of these assessment benchmarks and advice on how proposed
  development may meet these assessment benchmarks.

  6.3 Koala Conservation Plan clearing requirements
  Section 10 and 11 of the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 prescribes requirements that must be met
  when clearing koala habitat in koala district A and koala district B.

  These clearing requirements are independent to the koala habitat planning controls introduced into the Planning Regulation
  2017, which means they must be complied with irrespective of any approvals or exemptions offered under other legislation.

  Unlike the clearing controls prescribed in the Planning Regulation 2017 that are to protect koala habitat, the clearing
  requirements prescribed in the Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2017 are in place to prevent the injury or
  death of koalas when koala habitat is being cleared.

      Other Matters Protected by the EPBC Act

      This part of the report summarises other matters protected under the Act that may relate to the area you nominated.
      Approval may be required for a proposed activity that significantly affects the environment on Commonwealth land,
      when the action is outside the Commonwealth land, or the environment anywhere when the action is taken on
      Commonwealth land. Approval may also be required for the Commonwealth or Commonwealth agencies proposing to
      take an action that is likely to have a significant impact on the environment anywhere.



      The EPBC Act protects the environment on Commonwealth land, the environment from the actions taken on
      Commonwealth land, and the environment from actions taken by Commonwealth agencies. As heritage values of a
      place are part of the 'environment', these aspects of the EPBC Act protect the Commonwealth Heritage values of a
      Commonwealth Heritage place. Information on the new heritage laws can be found at
      http://www.environment.gov.au/heritage



      A permit may be required for activities in or on a Commonwealth area that may affect a member of a listed threatened
      species or ecological community, a member of a listed migratory species, whales and other cetaceans, or a member of
      a listed marine species.



      Commonwealth Land:                             None

      Caveat
      The information presented in this report has been provided by a range of data sources as acknowledged at the end of the report.


      This report is designed to assist in identifying the locations of places which may be relevant in determining obligations under the Environment
      Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. It holds mapped locations of World and National Heritage properties, Wetlands of International
      and National Importance, Commonwealth and State/Territory reserves, listed threatened, migratory and marine species and listed threatened
      ecological communities. Mapping of Commonwealth land is not complete at this stage. Maps have been collated from a range of sources at various
      resolutions.




      Not all species listed under the EPBC Act have been mapped (see below) and therefore a report is a general guide only. Where available data
      supports mapping, the type of presence that can be determined from the data is indicated in general terms. People using this information in making
      a referral may need to consider the qualifications below and may need to seek and consider other information sources.



      For threatened ecological communities where the distribution is well known, maps are derived from recovery plans, State vegetation maps, remote
      sensing imagery and other sources. Where threatened ecological community distributions are less well known, existing vegetation maps and point
      location data are used to produce indicative distribution maps.



      Threatened, migratory and marine species distributions have been derived through a variety of methods. Where distributions are well known and if
      time permits, maps are derived using either thematic spatial data (i.e. vegetation, soils, geology, elevation, aspect, terrain, etc) together with point
      locations and described habitat; or environmental modelling (MAXENT or BIOCLIM habitat modelling) using point locations and environmental data
      layers.



      Where very little information is available for species or large number of maps are required in a short time-frame, maps are derived either from 0.04
      or 0.02 decimal degree cells; by an automated process using polygon capture techniques (static two kilometre grid cells, alpha-hull and convex hull);
      or captured manually or by using topographic features (national park boundaries, islands, etc). In the early stages of the distribution mapping
      process (1999-early 2000s) distributions were defined by degree blocks, 100K or 250K map sheets to rapidly create distribution maps. More reliable
      distribution mapping methods are used to update these distributions as time permits.




      Only selected species covered by the following provisions of the EPBC Act have been mapped:
              - migratory and
              - marine
      The following species and ecological communities have not been mapped and do not appear in reports produced from this database:


              - threatened species listed as extinct or considered as vagrants
              - some species and ecological communities that have only recently been listed
              - some terrestrial species that overfly the Commonwealth marine area
              - migratory species that are very widespread, vagrant, or only occur in small numbers
      The following groups have been mapped, but may not cover the complete distribution of the species:
              - non-threatened seabirds which have only been mapped for recorded breeding sites
              - seals which have only been mapped for breeding sites near the Australian continent
      Such breeding sites may be important for the protection of the Commonwealth Marine environment.

1     INTRODUCTION

1.1       Background
This Bushfire Hazard Assessment has been prepared to assess the degree of potential bushfire
hazard and associated risk acting on Lot 21 on SP316902, located at 25 Pavilion Street, Pomona
(referenced hereafter as ‘the site’). The site is the subject of a Reconfiguration of a Lot (1 into 10)
development application to be submitted to Noosa Shire Council. This assessment has been
prepared to assist Council with their decision-making process.

1.2       Noosa Plan 2020 Bushfire Hazard Overlay Map
The site is mapped under the Noosa Plan 2020 Bushfire Hazard Overlay as containing the
following Potential Bushfire Intensity areas (refer to Plate 1):
      •    Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity area; and
      •    Potential Impact Buffer.




                           Plate 1 – Noosa Plan 2020 Bushfire Hazard Mapping Overlay

1.3       State Planning Policy Bushfire Intensity Overlay Map
The site is mapped under the State Planning Policy (SPP) as containing the following Potential
Bushfire Intensity areas (refer to Plate 2):
      •    Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity area; and
      •    Potential Impact Buffer.

                                 Plate 2 – SPP Bushfire Intensity Mapping Overlay

It is noted that the bushfire hazard mapping in both the Noosa Plan and the SPP have extended
a Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity Area across existing cleared areas within the site and land
to the south within the showgrounds.
Under Chapter 2, Part 1, Section 8, Item 4(a) of the Planning Act 2016, where there is an
inconsistency between a State planning policy and local government planning instrument, a State
planning policy applies instead of a regional plan or local planning instrument. In this instance,
the SPP Bushfire Prone Areas mapping mimics Council’s mapping.

1.4      Development Proposal
The applicant is seeking approval to subdivide an existing 2.997ha allotment into 9 new
allotments. The eastern extent of the site is located within the low-density residential zone and is
proposed to be subdivided to form 9 new residential allotments. The western extent of the site is
contained within the rural zone and is proposed to consist of one large rural allotment. Access is
proposed via a new internal roadway connecting to Pavilion Street.
The Plan of Development is included as Appendix 1.

2    Site Description

2.1 General
The site measures 2.997ha and is contained on the edge of the built residential area of the
Pomona township. Residential allotments adjoin the eastern site extent, with the Pomona
showgrounds located to the south of the site. Predominantly cleared rural grazing properties are
located to the north of the site, and a semi-vegetated rural allotment containing the Cooroora
Creek riparian corridor is located to the west of the site.
The eastern extent of the site contains established fruit tree orchards, with low density mature
trees present within the centre of the site. The western site extent is characterised by
predominantly mowed pasture with very few trees.
The site is zoned as Low Density Residential in the eastern extent and Rural zone in the western
extent under the Noosa Plan 2020.
Plate 3 depicts the site’s position in the landscape and the extent of existing development.

2.2 Topography
The slope of the land is a major determinant of fire behaviour, particularly the slope of the land
under vegetation that contributes to bushfire hazard. Fire burns faster as it travels up slope, via
preheating of unburnt fuels ahead of the fire, increasing the rate of spread and fireline intensity.
Conversely, fires move more slowly as they travel downslope. Fireline intensity (kW/m) is a
function of the rate of spread (QFES 2019).
The western extent of the site is relatively flat, with a gentle west facing slope present in the
eastern site extent. The site reaches a topographic high of approximately 100m AHD on the
eastern boundary and declines towards the west of the site to a topographic low of approximately
83m AHD. The eastern extent of the site exhibits slopes of approximately 8 degrees. Plate 4
depicts topography conditions within and adjacent to the site.

2.3 Vegetation
The following vegetation hazard classes (classified in accordance with QFES (2019)) were
identified within the assessment area which includes a 150m buffer surrounding the site:
    •    Vegetation Hazard Class 9.1 – Moist to dry eucalypt open forests on coastal lowlands
         and ranges;
    •    Vegetation Hazard Class 39.2 – Low to moderate tree cover in built up areas; and
    •    Vegetation Hazard Class 41.4 – Discontinuous low grass or tree cover.
The characteristics of each observed vegetation hazard class are described in the following
sections. Plan No. BF01 – Vegetation Hazard Classes depicts their distribution across the
assessment area.

2.3.1    Vegetation Hazard Class 9.1 – Moist to dry Eucalypt open forests on coastal lowlands
         and ranges
Vegetation Hazard Class 9.1 (VHC 9.1) is present offsite to the west of the Pomona Showgrounds.
The upper canopy has attained an average height of 30m with crown cover of approximately 40%.
The canopy is dominated by Eucalyptus tereticornis (Queensland blue gum), with E. robusta (swamp
mahogany) and Lophostemon suaveolens (swamp box) occurring as sub-dominant components.
The mid-storey is mid-dense and is dominated by Melaleuca salicina (weeping tea tree), M.
quinquenervia (broad-leaved tea tree), Acacia melanoxylon (black wattle) and the exotic weed
species Cinnamomum camphora (camphor laurel). The understorey includes native and exotic
grasses and Lomandra hystrix (mat rush).
VHC 9.1 is attributed a potential combined surface fuel load of 21t/ha and a potential total fuel load
of 24.2t/ha (QFES, 2019). Plate 5 depicts typical conditions within VHC 9.1.

2.3.1    Vegetation Hazard Class 39.2 – Low to moderate tree cover in built up areas
Vegetation Hazard Class 39.2 (VHC 39.2) is present within the western extent of the site and
dominates the surrounding landscape to the north and west of the site. VHC 39.2 is characterised
by rural allotments with periodically slashed or grazed areas of pasture grass interspersed with low
to moderate density woody vegetation (with little understorey fuel loads).
VHC 39.2 is attributed a potential total fuel load of 5t/ha and a total potential fuel load of 8t/ha. Plate
6 depicts typical conditions within VHC 39.2.

2.3.2    Vegetation Hazard Class 40.4 – Continuous low grass or tree cover
Vegetation Hazard Class 40.4 (VHC 40.4) is present within the eastern extent of the site and
dominates the surrounding landscape to the south and east. VHC 39.2 is characterised by areas of
regularly mowed grass interspersed with low density woody vegetation including fruit tree orchards
and amenity gardens.
VHC 40.4 is attributed a potential total fuel load of 2.5t/ha and a total potential fuel load of 3t/ha.
Plate 7 depicts typical conditions within VHC 40.4.

3          HAZARD ASSESSMENT

3.1        Hazard Assessment Methodology
The Noosa Planning Scheme requires that a site-specific bushfire hazard assessment be prepared
to assess the degree of bushfire hazard on a site captured within a mapped Designated Bushfire
Hazard Area. The SPP Bushfire Prone Area mapping prevails over the Noosa Bushfire Hazard Area
mapping with respect to the currency of the methodology adopted to prepare the mapping.
Accordingly, the site-specific hazard mapping required is to be prepared consistent with the
methodology adopted to prepare the SPP mapping.
The methodology used to prepare the SPP mapping is described in:
       •     Department of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning’s Natural Hazards, Risk and
             Resilience –– Bushfire (December 2019) State Planning Policy – state interest guidance
             material; and
       •     Queensland Fire and Emergency Services - (2019) Planning for Bushfire Resilient
             Communities.
Site-specific hazard maps are referred to as Local Hazard Area Maps in the SPP documents. The
preparation of Local Hazard Area Maps has been undertaken for the site in accordance with the
methodology described in the above referenced documents.

3.2        Local Hazard Area Map
A Local Hazard Area Map was prepared by adopting the following methodology:
       •     Categorizing the vegetation within the site in accordance with the vegetation hazard classes
             derived from QFES (2019);
       •     Using the patch and corridor filtering process to remove narrow corridors and small patches
             of VHC’s1;
       •     Subdividing the identified vegetation hazard classes into bushfire hazard sub-units based on
             slope differences and vegetation hazard classes. All upslope and across slope vegetation
             units are allocated an underlying slope of 1 degree as per methodology prescribed within
             Queensland Fire and Emergency Services - (2019) Planning for Bushfire Resilient
             Communities. The maximal slope recorded within a 3 x 3 grid comprised of 25m x 25m
             individual grids within the VHC’s is adopted as the effective slope underlying the VHC. A
             conservative approach is adopted where multiple slopes persist within VHC’s;
       •     Assigning SPP Potential Bushfire Intensity classes to the sub-units;
       •     Application of 150m Potential Impact Buffers to the amended sub-units to derive an overall
             Local Hazard Area Map.




1
  The patch and corridor filtering process to remove or downgrade hazard levels of small patches and narrow corridors involves the
following three stages:
       •     Merging small patches of a single Vegetation Hazard Class less than 0.5 ha;
       •     Merging small Vegetation Hazard Class patches between 0.5 and 1 ha with higher or moderate fuel loads (greater than 8
             tonnes/ha); and
       •     Removing narrow corridors of vegetation less than 50m wide through a process of patch erosion and dilation. These small
             patches are merged with surrounding vegetation by allocating a patch to the Vegetation Hazard Class that is most common to
             the patch boundary (Leonard et al., 2017).

Table 1 details the Potential Bushfire Intensity classes and their corresponding potential fire-line
intensity (KW/m) values as prescribed within Leonard et. al. 2017.
Table 1: Potential Bushfire Intensity classes




The sub-unit level Local Hazard Area Map is presented as Plan No. BF02 – Sub-Units and identifies
that the site is host to Low Potential Bushfire Intensity areas. A Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity
area is located to the south of the site.
The overall Local Hazard Map is presented as Plan No. BF03 – Local Hazard Map and identifies the
site is host to a Potential Impact Buffer within the western extent associated with the offsite Medium
Potential Bushfire Intensity area. The balance of land within the 150m assessment area is mapped
as Low hazard. Note that no development is proposed within the mapped Potential Impact Buffer.

The Local Hazard Map presented in Plan No. BF03 is to supersede the SPP broadscale mapping
attributed to the site and should be used to guide the formulation of appropriate site-based bushfire

4    CONCLUSIONS

A Bushfire Hazard Assessment has been prepared to assess the degree of bushfire hazard
and potential bushfire risk acting on the development of Lot 21 on SP316902 located at 25
Pavilion Street, Pomona. A Local Hazard Map has been prepared consistent with the State
Planning Policy – Natural Hazards, Risk and Resilience – Technical Manual – A ‘fit for
purpose’ approach in undertaking natural hazard studies and risk assessments. The Local
Hazard Map has identified that the development footprint is captured within a Low Potential
Bushfire Intensity Area.
The bushfire hazard mapping in both the Noosa Plan and the State Planning Policy have
extended a Medium Potential Bushfire Intensity Area across existing cleared areas within the
site and the adjacent showgrounds and therefore the potential bushfire risk has been over-
exaggerated within the site.
It is noted that the western site extent is to be revegetated as part of the development proposal.
The extent of revegetation corresponds with Council’s riparian buffer overlay which is
separated from the nearest built element of the development (i.e. the Lot 10 building envelope)
by more than 100m and therefore will not introduce an unacceptable future bushfire risk to the
development.
As per the Planning Scheme Policy for Natural Hazards, if a site-specific bushfire hazard
assessment results in the development being located within a Low Hazard Area, no further
action is required as the provisions of the Bushfire Hazard Overlay Code do not apply.
