                 Issue – Biodiversity waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code
                 The submitted application material does not provide sufficient information to demonstrate how
                 Performance Outcome(s) PO1, PO3, PO11 of the Biodiversity, waterways and wetlands
                 overlay code and PO7 and PO26 of the Noosa Heads local Plan have been addressed in
                 relation to the protection and management of ecologically important areas.
                 In particular, the development proposes the clearing of mapped areas of biodiversity
                 significance, ecologically important areas, koala core habitat, protected areas, ecological
                 linkages and connecting habitat.
                 Information Required
                 2. Provide an amended plan of development to demonstrate how the applicable Performance
                    Outcomes of the Biodiversity, waterways and wetlands overlay code and Noosa
                    Heads Local Plan code can be achieved. This must include:
                      (a) Demonstrate that the development is sited and designed to protect the physical and
                          ecological integrity and biodiversity of ecological important areas.
                      (b) Incorporate siting and design measures to protect and retain ecological values and
                          ecosystems processes within and adjacent the development site.
                      (c) Avoid development footprint within ecologically important areas by locating new
                          infrastructure within existing disturbed areas and cleared areas of the site.
                      (d) Demonstrate how the development design complies with the Koala-sensitive Design
                          Guidelines, incorporates revegetation and landscaping that provides food, shelter and
                          movement opportunities for koalas.
                      (e) Incorporate a development design that respects the scale of surrounding vegetation
                          and maximises the opportunity for retention of existing vegetation and incorporates
                          soft landscaping between buildings.
                      (f) Demonstrate that the development has no significant adverse impacts on biodiversity,
                          natural vegetation, and fauna habitat.


                 Issue – Carparking Provision
                 Councils traffic consultants advises that there has not been sufficient evidence presented in
                 the TTM report to justify that only 0.5 parking spaces per room is appropriate as a design rate
                 for the “accommodation” component of the assessment.
                 Information Required
                 3.     Further justification of the proposed parking relaxation, including addressing the
                        following issues

                        (i)   There is no reason that the rate of “accommodation” parking per room for the
                              proposed development will be any different to the rate of “accommodation” parking
                              at other short term accommodation developments that include a pool, restaurants,
                              and bars.

                        (ii) There is no evidence or discussion included in the TTM report to identify how guests
                             who do not drive a car to the site will be transported with their luggage to and from
                             the development. For example, is it expected that large proportions of guests will
                             hire a driver to transport them to/from the development, or will they use public
                             transport, or be transported to/from the airport by mini bus or coach (noting that this
                             may impact on the size of the design vehicle for the Grant Street access – given
                             that under the current proposed arrangements, any vehicles larger than a car
                             delivering and collecting guests of the development would need to use the “back
                             door” access via the pedestrian entry and proposed bus stop in Serenity Close)?
