1 INTRODUCTION
The following Ecological Assessment Report (EAR) has been prepared by Litoria
Consulting Pty Ltd on behalf of Calile Malouf Investments Pty Ltd for land described as 3 -
7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads (Lots 10 and 11 on SP195871). Refer to Figure 1 for a current
aerial photograph of the site.
The purpose of the EAR is to:
● Describe the ecological features and processes of the development site;
● Provide an assessment of the nature conservation values of these features and
processes;
● Provide a description of threatening processes evident on site;
● Document potential development impacts upon these ecological values and
features; and,
● Detail impact mitigation measures which will be undertaken to avoid or mitigate
those impacts to an acceptable standard.
The EAR has been prepared generally in accordance with Noosa Council Planning Scheme
Policy 3 - Ecological assessment guidelines; however, also includes additional, targeted
survey for the Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) and Glossy Black Cockatoo
(Calyptorhynchus lathami). The EAR includes:
● Identification of the flora, fauna and habitat of the site and its immediate
environment to determine the ecological features,
● Identification of matters of environmental significance on and adjacent to the site,
● Determination of the potential impacts of the operation and construction phases of
the development on the matters of environmental significance on and adjacent to
the site, and on long term viability and function of these matters, and,
● Recommendations in relation to any measures or changes to the development
design that may be required to avoid or mitigate any impacts of the development
design, construction, and operation.
The EAR is organised into the following sections:
● Development description (approved and proposed),
● Matters of environmental significance:
Commonwealth (National),
State, and,
Local,
● Existing environment,
● Impact assessment,
● Environmental management measures,
● Summary, and,
● Technical appendices.

2.2 APPROVED DEVELOPMENT
The site has a history of approvals which extend from 2010 to the change to existing
approval which was granted in 2017.
2.2.1 LOCAL AND STATE APPROVALS
On the 8 April 2010, Sunshine Coast Regional Council issued a Development Permit for
Multiple Dwelling (109 Dwelling Units) and Accommodation Building (90 Accommodation
Units) and Ancillary Facilities (MCU 2008/276). An appeal was lodged with the
Environment Court and the Court subsequently issued a development approval on the 14
October 2011 (Planning and Environment Court Appeal 18 of 2010). The original
development application (MCU 2008/276, 8 April 2010) was assessed and approved
under the superseded Planning Scheme & Strategic Plan 1997, together with the
associated State referrals and codes which were applicable at the time the application was
originally made (13 March 2008) (Council Application Ref.: 132008.176).
On the 6 December 2013, the Planning and Environment Court approved a change to
condition 35 of the 2010 approval - extending the relevant period until 8 April 2017 and
included an additional condition (condition 106) for a monetary contribution of $44,160
for the offset of 48 koala habitat trees in accordance with the Policy for Offsets for Net
Gain of Koala Habitat in South East Queensland, which was current at that time. The offset
was subsequently paid by the applicant and was used for the planting and maintenance of
300 Koala habitat trees within the Girraween Nature Refuge.
On the 7 February 2017, Noosa Shire Council approved an existing approval to change
condition 35, extending the relevant period until 8 April 2021. The relevant period was
further extended for 12 months (until 8 April 2022) resulting from the extensions granted
by the Minister for Planning associated with the declared COVID-19 applicable event. A
further application to extend the currency period of the original approval was made in
2022. As such, the 2017 development approval remains current.
The 2017 change to existing approval (Council Application Ref.: 132008.176.03, 7 February
2017) is for a Resort Development comprising Multiple Dwelling (109 Dwelling Units) and
Accommodation Building (90 Accommodation Units) and Ancillary Facilities. An extract
from the approved plans is shown in Figure 3. The 2017 change to existing approval did
not change the State Government referral agency conditions from the original 2010
development approval, including those from:
● Department of Natural Resources and Water (DRW) (Ref.: IC0508NAM0002, 12 June
2008), and
● Department of Environment and Resource Management (DERM) (Ref.: 324907, 8
January 2010).
7 | 66
Section 10
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
The current Council and State development approvals contain a series of conditions and
several approved plans relating to environmental management. The relevant conditions
include:
● Change Application to a Material Change of Use (Noosa Council, Application Ref.:
132008.176.03, 7 February 2017)
Approved Plans – Condition 1
General – Condition 2
Vegetation – Conditions 15 – 18
Fauna Spotter – Condition 19
Landscaping – Condition 20
● Concurrence Agency Response (DERM, Application Ref.: 324907, 8 January 2010)
General – Condition 1
Koala Habitat – Conditions 2 – 14
Analysis of the approved plans and conditions indicates that the approved development
footprint includes:
● Residential High Density Building Envelope – refer to Figure 5 in the approved Fauna
Management Plan (C & B Group, May 2005; Appendix 1) and condition 2 (DERM,
Application Ref.: 324907, 8 January 2010).
● Retention and protection of 17 Koala and Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat trees and
any other trees within setback and open space areas – refer to approved plan L-SD-
1.01 (DBI Design Pty Ltd, Rev. A, August 2009; Appendix 1) and conditions 15 – 16
(Noosa Council, Application Ref.: 132008.176.03, 7 February 2017).
Conditions 15 and 16 are stated in the 2017 Council development approval as:
15. Existing trees on the site and within road reserves are to be retained except
where required to be removed due to building operations, requirements of the
approved Settler’s Cove Management Plans or the conduct of the approved use.
16. The Koala and Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat trees identified for retention on
plan L-SD-1.01 (Rev. A) dated August 2009 by DBI Design Pty Ltd shall be retained.
Despite condition 15 which states that existing trees should be retained except where
required to be removed due to building operations, requirements of the approved Settler’s
Cove Management Plans or the conduct of the approved use, analysis of the approved
plans indicates that:
● only 17 trees are required to be retained sensu strictu, and
● the development footprint resulting from the approved plans, particularly the
Residential High Density Building Envelope, would result in clearing, earthworks,
services, landscaping and building within the balance areas of the site.

2.2.2 COMMONWEALTH APPROVAL
In addition to local and State government approvals, an Environment Protection and
Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) (EPBC Act) referral associated with the
approved development was made on the 19 April 2013.
On the 4 June 2013, it was determined that the approved development was not a
controlled action i.e., an EPBC Act approval was not required.

2.3 PROPOSED CHANGE
On the 10 October 2022, a change application was made to Noosa Council (‘proposed
change’). The proposed change is for a resort complex with ancillary retail. The
development comprises resort accommodation, with 174 rooms, 16 suites and five (5)
villas; resort facilities, including restaurants, function rooms, indoor and outdoor
recreation, well-being and open space areas; and resort retail. Based on the architectural
plans (Richards and Spence Architects, Drawing No. SD-A-01-01-G – SD-A-01-07-G, Rev. J,
5 July 2023) and preliminary earthworks plan (ALTA Projects, Drawing No. A6769-
23_SK19, Rev. 2, 6 July 2023), the total development footprint for the proposed change is
approximately 15,630 sqm.
Preliminary design advice received from the project engineers indicates that earthworks
will be largely confined to the development footprint, however there may be some
additional works outside of the development footprint to allow for driveway access and
services, such as, stormwater.
The proposed change is shown in Figure 5. Refer to Appendix 2, for copies of the
proposed plans.

SD-A-01-01-G – SD-A-01-07-G, REV. J, 5 JULY 2023).
2.4 SUMMARY
The assessment of potential impacts in this report will be limited to the proposed change,
as only the additional impacts beyond the impacts of the approved development can be
permissibly assessed. As such, the proposed changes can be described as follows:
● A decrease in development footprint of 7,970 sqm 2 (34%), due to the additional
retention of vegetation along the perimeter of the site boundary.
● An increase in development footprint of 74 sqm (< 0.5%) to allow for driveway
access.
2 Based on the total development footprint area indicated on the architectural plans. It has been assumed that earthworks will be
largely confined to the development footprint, however, some additional works may be located outside of the development
footprint to allow for access and services, such as, stormwater.

Section 15
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
The net impacts resulting from the proposed change can be described as the difference in
area between the proposed change and the approved development footprint. Therefore,
the net impact area of the proposed change is -7,970 sqm, which results in a net positive
impact in terms of potential development footprint. The proposed change can be seen in
Figure 6.
Where relevant, the extent of the proposed change to the approved development
footprint is referred to as the ‘assessable area’ in the following sections of this report
(Refer to ‘hatch’ in Figure 6).
The area of the existing development, approved development and proposed change are
summarised in Table 1 below.

3 MATTERS OF ENVIRONMENTAL
SIGNIFICANCE
This section of the report provides an overview of relevant statutory environmental
assessment, planning and approval requirements relating to:
● matters of national environmental significance (MNES),
● matters of State environmental significance (MSES),
● matters of local environmental significance (MLES).
3.1 COMMONWEALTH (MNES)
Environmental regulation at the federal government level is driven by the EPBC Act. The
EPBC Act deals mainly with matters of national environmental significance (protected
matters) including:
● World Heritage places;
● National Heritage places;
● RAMSAR wetlands (Wetlands of international importance);
● Nationally threatened species and ecological communities;
● Migratory species;
● Commonwealth marine areas;
● Nuclear actions; and,
● Water resources 3.
Where development or action has, will have, or is likely to have a significant impact on
MNES, the development must be referred to the Federal Environment Minister prior to
commencing the action. The Minister will then decide within 20 business days whether
assessment is required under the EPBC Act. When making a decision on whether a
proposed development requires assessment, the Minister must consider all relevant
information and act in a manner consistent with natural justice and procedural fairness
obligations.
An EPBC Act referral associated with the approved development was made on the 19
April 2013. On the 4 June 2013 it was determined that the approved development was not
a controlled action i.e. EPBC Act approval not required. Therefore, impacts on MNES are
not discussed in this report.
3 Water resources are a MNES in relation to coal seam gas development and large coal mining development.

3.2 STATE (MSES)
Matters of state environmental significance (MSES) are a component of the biodiversity
state interest that is defined under the State Planning Policy (SPP) and defined under the
Environmental Offsets Regulation 2014 (Offset Regulation). MSES includes certain
environmental values that are protected under Queensland legislation including the:
● Nature Conservation Act 1992,
● Marine Parks Act 2004,
● Fisheries Act 1994,
● Environmental Protection Act 1994,
● Regional Interests Planning Act 2014,
● Vegetation Management Act 1999, and,
● Environmental Offsets Act 2014.
The SPP identifies State interests that a local government must consider when preparing
or amending planning schemes. According to Part 2, Section 2.1 of the Noosa Plan 2020,
aspects relating to MSES have been appropriately reflected in the new planning scheme.
The relevant MSES that apply to the assessable area are outlined in the following table.

Queensland. Of relevance to the site is the
potential presence of threatened 4 wildlife (plant or
animal) species.
Relevant mapping indicates that the site
contained:
• MSES wildlife habitat [endangered or
vulnerable] (Figure 7)
• MSES wildlife habitat [special least concern]
(Figure 7)
• MSES wildlife habitat [SEQ koala habitat - core]
(Figure 8)
In addition, a search was undertaken to identify
threatened wildlife that may occur, are likely to
occur or are known to occur within 3 km of the
site. A search of the Queensland Department of
Environment and Science (DES) Wildlife Online
database (Department of Environment and
Science 2023) was undertaken for species
recorded within a 3 km radius of the site since
1980 (Appendix 3).
The State Development Assessment Provisions
(SDAP) provide assessment benchmarks for the
assessment of development applications involving
the State Assessment and Referral Agency
(SARA). State Code 25 is the relevant part of the
SDAP which applies to development in South East
Queensland Koala Habitat Areas. Given the
changed development is consistent with the
original development approval, the relevant
considerations arising from the change to the
koala regulations in the Planning Regulation 2017
are not engaged.
Waterways that provide for fish passage under the Relevant fisheries resource mapping indicates that
Fisheries Act 1994 (excluding waterways providing the site contains a ‘moderate’ risk of impact
for fish passage in an urban area) waterway for waterway barrier works (Figure 9).
Any future operational works that result in a
waterway barrier may require a referral to the
State.
High risk area on the flora survey trigger as described The NC Act includes a risk-based approach to the
by the Environmental Offsets Regulation 2014 management of protected plants. Where an area
proposed to be cleared contains native plants in
the wild and the area is shown as high risk area on

3.4 SUMMARY
Review of the relevant statutory requirements relating to matters of environmental
significance indicate that the proposed change is to be assessed against the Noosa
Council - Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code.
If any waterway barrier works are proposed, an application will be required to the State
for waterway barrier works at the operational works stage of the development. In
addition, a protected plants flora survey is required prior to the commencement of any
clearing and either a clearing application or exempt clearing notification is to be
submitted to the State.

4.1 TOPOGRAPHY
The landform pattern of the site can be described as predominantly south-facing,
undulating rises (UR) to rolling rises (RR) according to the National Committee on Soil and
Terrain (2009), with much of the land lying between 8.5 m and 22.5 m AHD (Figure 15).
Observed topography differed from the mapped contours due to existing development of
the land for car parking and sales office.

4.3 WATERWAYS AND WETLANDS
The site is located within the Noosa River catchment and the Weyba Creek subcatchment.
Queensland Department of Environment and Science’s Wetland Mapping and
Classification v5.0 (‘Queensland Wetlands Map’) (Department of Environment and Science
2019) is a set of comprehensive, non-regulatory maps of Queensland’s wetlands at a scale
and level of detail that help wetland managers make accurate decisions about the
protection and care of wetlands. The Queensland Wetlands Map indicates that the site
contains wetland mosaic regional ecosystems described as Coastal / Sub-Coastal non-
floodplain tree swamps (Melaleuca and Eucalypt)) (Figure 17).
Site inspection indicated that the development footprint does not contain any waterways
or wetlands. The latter is consistent with the Noosa Council Biodiversity, Waterways and
Wetlands Overlay Map. Whilst the site is mapped as wetland mosaic RE 12.2.5 (palustrine
wetland) and some Melaleuca quinquenervia were present in downslope areas along the
southern boundary of the site, no wetlands were observed on site.

4.4 VEGETATION
4.4.1 METHODS
DESKTOP
A search of the Queensland DES Wildlife Online database was undertaken for threatened 7
plant species recorded within a 3 km radius of the site since 1980 (Appendix 3)
(Department of Environment and Science 2023).
FIELD INVESTIGATIONS
Botanical survey and assessment of threatening processes present were carried out on 20
April 2023 by two (2) tertiary-qualified ecologists according to tertiary and quaternary
methods described in Methodology for Survey and Mapping of Regional Ecosystems and
Vegetation Communities in Queensland (Neldner, Wilson et al. 2019). The assessment was
carried out generally in accordance with Noosa Council Planning Scheme Policy 3 -
Ecological assessment guidelines.
The purpose of the survey and assessment was to determine:
● The extent, type, diversity and integrity / condition of vegetation communities
present;
● The presence of any threatened or conservation significant plant species;
● Regional Ecosystems; and,
● The presence of exotic species including weeds.
Where present, the actual extents (boundaries) of remnant vegetation communities were
identified using survey and/or GPS location for GIS rectification with existing vegetation
maps of the site.
Results of the botanical survey are described according to vegetation communities
(Vegetation Survey Units = VSUs) observed within the survey extent. Vegetation Survey
Units were established and classified on the basis of tertiary and quaternary methods
described in Neldner et al. (2019) and included such criteria as:
● Strata (canopy, mid-storey, shrub or understorey);
● Relative species abundance in observed strata (dominant, co-dominant, common or
associated);
● Landform;
● Aspect;
● Geology; and,

● Hydrology (where applicable).
In addition, the actual locations of trees greater than 150 mm diameter at breast height
(DBH) were identified and located via GPS within the survey extent, as indicated in the
Arborist Report and Vegetation Management Plan (Litoria Consulting, Issue A, 7 October
2022) (VMP). Tree attributes including fauna habitat features and condition / health were
recorded for each surveyed tree. Refer to the Arborist Report and VMP for further details.

FIELD INVESTIGATIONS
This section provides an overview of the observed vegetation communities based on the
results of the botanical survey. Field investigations indicated that:
● Parts of the site contained vegetation that was generally consistent with remnant RE
12.2.5, however, the configuration differed and the overall area was less than what is
mapped on Figure 11; and,
● The remainder of the site comprised cleared / disturbed areas, which correspond to
the existing development footprint (refer to Section 2.1).
The location and extent of these areas can be seen in Figure 18. Photographs of the
observed vegetation can be seen in Figure 19 and Figure 20.
Areas generally consistent with remnant RE 12.2.5, comprised closed forest (8 – 20 m) of
Corymbia intermedia, Callitris columellaris, Eucalyptus tereticornis and Lophostemon
confertus. Mid-storey vegetation included a sub-canopy of predominantly native species,
particularly, Banksia aemula, Allocasuarina littoralis, Acronychia imperforata, Acacia
disparrima, Ricinocarpos pinifolius and Monotoca sp. (Fraser Island). The vegetation
contained tall shrub (4 – 8 m) and low shrub (1 – 4 m) strata comprised predominantly of
native vegetation. Understorey vegetation contained a mix of native and exotic species,
with some areas dominated by exotic species where adjacent to disturbance (i.e., car
parks, roads, recent urban development).
Based on botanical and tree survey, the observed patch of RE 12.2.5 was found to contain
hollow-bearing trees and areas supporting coarse woody debris, which are important
habitat features for locally endemic fauna species (Refer to Section 4.5.2 for full results of
the fauna assessment). Additionally, a significant number of dead or dying trees were
observed, particularly Allocasuarina littoralis and Banksia aemula, due to natural causes.
Widespread evidence of insect herbivory was also observed. Of the 17 Koala and Glossy
Black Cockatoo habitat trees approved for retention (DBI Design Pty Ltd, Drawing No. L-
SD-2.02, Rev. A, August 2009), eight (8) Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat trees were no
longer existing / present on site and three (3) habitat trees were in poor condition.
Cleared areas of the site are currently used for a sales office, construction site offices and
amenities and construction car parks for adjacent development sites in Serenity Close. The
existing development footprint occupies over 30% of the site area (Figure 2 and Figure
18).
In terms of disturbance, the existing development footprint contains patches of scattered
native trees as individuals or in clumps. Environmental weeds and restricted invasive
species, such as Megathyrsus maximus var. maximus and Asparagus aethiopicus,
comprised an estimated 95% of the total understorey biomass in these disturbed areas.
Due to the degradation of areas within the existing development footprint and
disturbance surrounding the site (i.e., buildings, roads and public pathways), the patch of
observed RE 12.2.5 is subject to edge effects, including weed invasion. Weeds are most
prevalent along the interface between cleared / disturbed areas on site and downslope
towards the public pathway and riparian areas adjacent to the site. Due to the relatively
35 | 66
Section 38
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
small area of vegetation on site, the patch is defined by edge effects, which has resulted in
weed infiltration throughout the patch. Environmental weeds and pest species were
present across the site in all strata – weed and pest species richness and relative
abundance tended to increase as the height of the strata decreased. That is, weed species
richness and abundance were greatest in the understorey and low shrub strata and lowest
in the canopy, sub-canopy and tall shrub strata.
Results of the botanical survey suggested that the survey area did not contain NC Act
threatened flora species occurring in the wild, nor any threatened ecological communities.
Two (2) threatened plants identified as Eucalyptus curtisii (near threatened under the NC
Act) were recorded along the northern street-facing perimeter of the site. As this species
in not known to naturally occur within the area, is not consistent with the observed RE and
is growing alongside other planted vegetation, it was determined that the Eucalyptus
curtisii observed on site do not occur in the wild.
Cymbidium suave, an epiphytic orchid, which is listed as a special least concern 8 species
under the NC Act, was identified growing on several trees on site. Due to the scope of the
tree survey, which only accounted for trees above a specific size threshold and excluded
certain areas of the site, a complete inspection of the site should be conducted to identify
the presence of Cymbidium suave prior to any vegetation clearing, to retain or translocate
individual plants (including host trees). Refer to Section 6 for detailed management
measures.
Full botanical survey results are contained in Appendix 4.
Based on the results of the field investigations, it was determined that areas containing
biodiversity values were less than the extent shown on the Noosa Council Biodiversity,
Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Map and differed in configuration. Ecologically
important areas (defined under Schedule 1 of Noosa Plan 2020) containing biodiversity
values were observed in all locations outside of the cleared / disturbed areas (i.e., within
observed RE 12.2.5) shown in Figure 18, however, were subject to disturbance and
threatening processes.
Overall results of the botanical assessment indicated:
● No NC Act threatened flora species, occurring in the wild, were observed on site as
part of the survey, however, special least concern species, Cymbidium suave, was
observed on several host trees throughout the site;
● Over 30% of the site has been cleared or disturbed to accommodate existing
development features including, a sales office, construction site offices and
amenities and construction car parks;
● Existing vegetation on site is generally consistent with remnant RE 12.2.5, however,
the configuration and area of the vegetation was less than the mapped extents
8 Under Section 88D (2) of the NC Act, a regulation may prescribe a least concern plant to be a special least concern plant if the
taking or use of the plant is at risk of not being ecologically sustainable, including, for example, because of—
(a) high commercial demand for the plant or a part of the plant; or
(b) the biological traits of the plant.

indicated by the Noosa Council’s Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Map
(refer to Figure 18); and,
● Existing vegetation on the site contains a number of exotic and/or pest plants
throughout the patch which are dominant along the interface between disturbed /
cleared areas and throughout the understorey layer.

4.5 FAUNA
4.5.1 METHODS
DESKTOP
Prior to field assessment, a search was undertaken to identify threatened fauna species
that may occur, are likely to occur, or are known to occur within 3 km of the study site. A
search of the Queensland DES Wildlife Online database (Department of Environment and
Science 2023) was undertaken for all threatened fauna species recorded within a 3 km
radius of the site since 1980 (Appendix 3).
For each of the species identified from the database searches, an assessment of the
likelihood of the species utilising or occupying the site was undertaken based on a
heuristic decision-based approach incorporating known habitat associations and
preferences of species according to expert knowledge by Litoria ecologists and published
accounts of each species. The assessment was undertaken for 12 species, incorporating
threatened fauna species identified in the Wildlife Online report. Likelihood categories into
which each species was divided included:
1. Confirmed: Species observed or recorded from the site based on systematic
survey or opportunistic observations by Litoria ecologists, or based on credible
anecdotal observations by other sources (p(x) = 100% 9);
2. Likely: Site contains known or potential habitats for the species and species
recorded from similar habitats in locality of the site (p(x) > 50%);
3. Possible: Site contains known or potential habitats for the species; however,
species not recorded from locality of the site, or vice versa (p(x) ≅ 50%); and
4. Unlikely: Site does not contain known or potential habitats for the species and/or
species not recorded from locality of the site (p(x) < 50%).
FIELD INVESTIGATIONS
A detailed Koala survey was conducted over the entire site by OWAD Environment on 20
April 2023 with a team of ecologists and a purpose-bred detection dog certified by the
Australian Canine Detection Certification Council for Koala and Quoll scat determination.
Refer to Appendix 5 for a full description of methods applied by OWAD Environment. Any
evidence of Koala usage (scat, sightings and Koala scratches) was also recorded during a
detailed tree survey and botanical survey, with over 100 hours spent on site between May
2022 and April 2023 by four (4) qualified ecologists.
A survey was conducted to assess the presence of the Glossy Black Cockatoo on site and
was conducted generally in accordance with the Queensland Government’s targeted
9 p(x) – represents the probability (p) that a given species (x) could occupy or utilise the site.

species survey guidelines for Glossy Black Cockatoos (Hourigan 2012). Detection of Glossy
Black Cockatoo presence and foraging signs (orts) was conducted during a detailed tree
survey and botanical survey, with over 100 hours spent on site between May 2022 and
April 2023 by four (4) qualified ecologists. Survey for this species was focused on (but not
solely restricted to) areas with Allocasuarina trees and large hollow-bearing eucalypts. All
Allocasuarina cones contained in trees and surrounding leaf litter were thoroughly
examined during field investigations for damage characteristic of Glossy Black Cockatoo
foraging.
In addition to the targeted surveys, opportunistic records of fauna were collected while
traversing the site.
4.5.2 RESULTS
DESKTOP
Twelve (12) species of threatened fauna have been recorded within 3 km of the subject
site according to the DES Wildlife Online report (Department of Environment and Science
2023). The results of the database search are displayed in Appendix 3.
The fauna habitat suitability assessment indicated that of the 12 species, five (5) species
were deemed to have an unlikely usage of the site. This is largely based on inappropriate
habitat present within the vicinity of the site (e.g., absence of estuarine habitat for the
Beach Stone-curlew).
The assessment also indicated that four (4) species could likely utilise or occupy the site
at some time and three (3) could possibly utilise or occupy the site at some time. Those
deemed likely to occupy the site are discussed below. With full results of the assessment
available in Appendix 7.
White-throated Needletail ( Hirundapus caudacutus): Vulnerable under the NC Act. This
species is typically associated with open-forests to sparse, open-woodlands and scrub
that are mostly dominated by Eucalyptus, Corymbia, Acacia or Callitris species, remnant,
regrowth or partly modified vegetation communities, and within 3 km of permanent or
ephemeral water bodies or watercourses. The species is relatively tolerant of highly
modified areas, and is regularly encountered foraging along roads, railway lines and
around homesteads and cattle yards. The vegetation on site reflects the requirements of
habitat for the species, containing mature Eucalyptus, Corymbia and Callitris species and
within 3 km of permanent riverine water body (Noosa River and Weyba Creek within < 1
km of the site). The disturbed understorey is likely to be tolerable to the species. In
addition, the White-Throated Needletail has been sighted within 3 km of the site (as per
the Wildlife Online report). Therefore, we consider the habitat on site to provide potential
White-throated Needletail habitat.
Glossy Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami) and South-eastern Glossy Black
Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami lathami) (subspecies): Vulnerable under the NC Act.
The Glossy Black Cockatoo is the smallest of the five black cockatoos and occupies a
widespread distribution in eastern Australia. They are highly dependent on the distribution
41 | 66
Section 44
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
of Allocasuarina and Casuarina species and are found in woodland dominated by
Allocasuarina / Casuarina and in open forests where they form a substantial middle layer.
They feed almost exclusively on the seeds of these trees. Glossy Black Cockatoos are
often confined to remnant Allocasuarina patches surrounded by cleared farmlands and
have preferred trees that they will re-visit for foraging. They require tree hollows for
breeding. Allocasuarina littoralis (Black She‐oak) is one of the dominant species present on
site. Therefore, we consider the habitat to be potential Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat.
Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus): Endangered under the NC Act. Koalas inhabit a range of
temperate, sub-tropical and tropical forest, woodland and semi-arid communities
dominated by species from the genus Eucalyptus. The regional ecosystem comprising the
site (12.2.5) is known to provide suitable habitat for the koala. The site is dominated by
eucalypts including several large, well-established trees comprised of dominant species
Corymbia intermedia, Eucalyptus tereticornis, and Lophostemon confertus. In addition, the
Koala has been detected (93 sightings) within 3 km of the site since 1980 according to the
WildNet searches. Therefore, we consider the vegetation on site to provide potential
habitat for the Koala.
FIELD INVESTIGATIONS
The results of the Koala survey conducted by OWAD Environment indicated that no
naturally occurring Koala scats and no live Koala were detected during the survey. Based
on these results, OWAD Environment has stated that the site does not currently form part
of the home range of any individual Koala, nor has it been recently used by Koalas. Refer
to Appendix 5 for a full description of the survey findings and interpretation by OWAD
Environment. Additionally, no direct evidence of koala use (scat, sightings, Koala
scratches) was observed on site during botanical survey and tree survey.
The results of the targeted survey for the Glossy Black Cockatoo indicated that no
evidence of the species was observed within the site. Only a small number of substantial
hollows in established eucalypt trees were observed on site. All Allocasuarina cones were
intact providing no evidence the species had recently utilised these trees for feeding.
Based on these results, it is unlikely that the site is currently occupied by the species or
used for foraging. In addition, a significant number of Glossy Black Cockatoo feed trees
(Allocasuarina littorialis) were observed as dead or dying, due to natural causes.
Opportunistic field observations identified a total of eight (8) species, all of which were
ubiquitous urban-adapted species. Appendix 8 contains a list of all fauna species observed
on the site.
In addition to direct observations of fauna, habitat features and/or evidence of use of the
site by fauna were also observed, including:
● Two (2) large habitat trees containing hollows;
● Course woody debris;
● Ground hollow;
● Arboreal termitaria;
● Fauna scratches on trees; and,
42 | 66
Section 45
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
● Fauna scat, including potential Sugar or Squirrel Glider scat.
As identified in section 4.4.2, results of the field investigations indicated that areas
containing biodiversity values, in the form of potential fauna habitat, was less than the
extent shown on the Noosa Council Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Map.
Ecologically important areas containing potential habitat were observed in all locations
outside of the cleared / disturbed areas (i.e., within observed RE 12.2.5) shown in Figure
18; however, on-ground fauna survey indicates that the site is not currently utilised by the
key species identified as likely to utilise or occupy the site. In addition, the potential
habitat is highly susceptible to degradation due to the high perimeter to edge ratio and
disturbance from surrounding land uses (i.e., roads, buildings, public walkways). Although
the potential habitat on site is subject to threatening processes or ‘edge effects’, the site is
connected to Council’s adjoining bushland reserve and is near potential riparian habitat.
4.6 SUMMARY
Overall results of the ecological assessment indicate that the existing environment could
be summarised as follows:
● The landform pattern of the site can be described as undulating rises (UR) to rolling
rises (RR).
● The geology of the site is coastal dune sands (Qd-QLD).
● The site is located within the Noosa River Estuary catchment.
● No waterways or wetlands were observed on site; however, a waterway and riparian
vegetation was observed adjacent to the southern boundary of the site.
● Botanical survey indicated that the vegetation within the site was generally
consistent with RE 12.2.5 in terms of species composition and vegetation structure.
● The extent of observed biodiversity values was less than the mapped extents shown
on the Noosa Council Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Map.
Ecologically important areas containing biodiversity values were observed in all
locations within observed RE 12.2.5 (Figure 18), however, were subject to
disturbance and threatening processes.
● Existing vegetation on the site contains a number of exotic and/or pest plants
throughout observed RE 12.2.5, predominately along the interface between
disturbed / cleared areas and throughout the understorey layer.
● No NC Act threatened flora species, occurring in the wild, were observed on site as
part of the survey, however, special least concern species, Cymbidium suave, was
observed on a number of host trees throughout the site;
● Fauna habitat suitability assessment undertaken for threatened species known or
likely to utilise or occupy the site indicated that five (5) species of the 12 listed are
unlikely to utilise or occupy the site, on account of an absence of any appropriate
habitat on or in the vicinity of the site. The assessment also indicated that four (4)
species could likely utilise or occupy the site at some time and three (3) could
possibly utilise or occupy the site at some time.

● Opportunistic fauna observations identified a total of eight (8) species, the majority
of which were ubiquitous urban-adapted species, as well as potential Sugar or

5 IMPACT ASSESSMENT
The purpose of this section of the report is to assess development impacts in the context
of the observed / existing environmental values of the site which were identified via a
combination of spatial analysis (GIS data), field investigations (botanical survey, tree
survey) and a review of relevant wildlife databases.
The impacts of the proposed change were analysed spatially via the creation of a
development footprint plan based on the architectural plans prepared by Richards and
Spence Architects (Drawing No. SD-A-01-01-G – SD-A-01-07-G, Rev. J, 5 July 2023) and
preliminary earthworks plan prepared by ALTA Projects (Drawing No. A6769-23_SK19,
Rev. 2, 6 July 2023). Impact assessment does not include assessment of other civil works
(minor earthworks or services) or landscaping works; however, preliminary design advice
received from the relevant project consultants indicates that any additional impacts will
likely be minor in extent.
The assessment is divided into the following sections:
● Waterways and wetlands,
● Vegetation and,
● Fauna.
Environmental management and impact mitigation, described in detail in the following
section, is referenced in this section of the report where applicable.
5.1 WATERWAYS AND WETLANDS
Direct and indirect impacts of development on waterways and wetlands include:
● Physical disturbance including clearing vegetation and earthworks;
● Changes to hydrological regimes (e.g. peak flow discharge);
● Changes in water quality (physical and chemical);
● Changes in aquatic habitats (e.g. sedimentation, species assemblages); and,
● Changes to microclimate (e.g. humidity, solar irradiation, nutrients, soil chemistry
and structure).
These impacts can result in changes to habitat structure and function which in turn,
impacts on the distribution of plant and animal species within riparian and wetland
ecosystems.
The results of the assessment indicated that the proposed change does not result in any
direct impacts on waterways or wetlands as neither of these ecological features are
present on the site. However, the adjacent waterway may be indirectly impacted during
the construction phase.
45 | 66
Section 48
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
In terms of indirect impacts, construction and operational activities may impact riparian
ecosystems and associated fauna species adjacent to the site through overland flow,
erosion and/or degradation of ecosystems / habitat; however, the proposed change is not
expected to result in any significant impacts as they are mitigated by design and
construction management measures.
Indirect impacts on adjacent waterways are avoided or mitigated as the proposed change
has been designed to retain a vegetated buffer along the southern boundary of the site.
The retention of vegetation will provide a natural barrier to the adjacent waterway.
Furthermore, the proposed change will incorporate the use of a landscaped overland flow
path and rapid infiltration pit which is designed to facilitate the infiltration of stormwater
into the ground and prevent excessive surface flow. By diverting stormwater into this pit,
overland flow is minimised, thus reducing the risk of erosion and the associated sediment
transport into waterways.
Residual indirect impacts shall be mitigated in accordance with the management
measures in Section 6.
5.2 VEGETATION
Potential environmental impacts of development on vegetation include direct and indirect
impacts. Impacts on vegetation could include:
● Reduced species richness;
● Reduced species abundance;
● Changes to the structure of the vegetation communities - directly via vegetation
removal and indirectly via survivorship and recruitment; and,
● Fragmentation of vegetation and corollary impacts on associated fauna habitats.
Direct impacts are primarily associated with vegetation removal necessary to facilitate
development during the construction stage and physical damage to retained vegetation
post construction. Direct damage to conserved vegetation may be deliberate or
accidental.
Indirect impacts include incidental effects of development which cause changes in biotic
and abiotic factors which affect the structure and function of retained vegetation
communities including:
● Weed invasion and competition;
● Changes to hydrological regimes and runoff quality (i.e. stormwater runoff); and,
● Changes to microclimate (e.g. humidity, solar irradiation, nutrients, soil chemistry
and structure).
Spatial analysis of the impacts of the proposed change indicated that the proposed
change would be positive in terms of overall impacts on native vegetation, as a greater
area of native vegetation will be retained. This includes additional areas of mapped Areas
of Biodiversity Significance on the Noosa Council Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands
46 | 66
Section 49
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
Overlay Map and additional individual native trees. The extent of additional areas of
Council’s mapped biodiversity overlay is shown in Figure 21 and additional areas based on
observed vegetation is shown in Figure 22.
The proposed change is almost entirely located within the approved development
footprint. Only a small area of external works outside of the approved development
footprint is proposed. Whilst additional impacts may occur as a result of civil works or
landscaping, the overall impacts in the context of approved development footprint are
minor in extent. Spatial analysis of the assessable area indicated:
● The areas of potential direct impact are located outside of the site boundary to allow
for development of driveway access, and are small relative to the total area of
additional vegetation that will be retained on site (i.e., removal of 58 sqm of Areas of
Biodiversity Significance on the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Map)
● The proposed change will result in a reduced development footprint by
approximately 7970 sqm;
● Approximately 6150 sqm of additional native vegetation will be retained (Figure 22);
● Approximately 5731 sqm of areas mapped as Areas of Biodiversity Significance on
the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Map will be retained (Figure 21);
and,
● The proposed change provides a buffer to adjacent vegetation located to the south
of the site.
In accordance with the approved plans (DBI Design Pty Ltd, Drawing No. L-SD-2.02, Rev.
A, August 2009), it is stipulated that only 17 Koala 10 and Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat
trees are required to be retained. The proposed change will result in the retention of the
aforementioned habitat trees (where observed on site) and additional native vegetation
and species that are consistent with the RE, including species such as, Banksia spp. and
Acacia spp. (refer to Appendix 4 for full botanical survey results). In addition, the
proposed change accounts for opportunities to retain Cymbidium suave, a special least
concern species, and any additional trees located within the open areas of the proposed
landscape plan (refer to Section 6). As a result, the proposed change will lead to an
increase in both species richness and abundance, which exceeds the requirements set out
by the approved conditions.
An Arborist Report and VMP has been prepared and assesses the impacts on individual
trees located within the assessable area. The VMP identifies vegetation management
procedures for trees to be retained and removed. Additional tree survey was conducted in
2023 along the six (6) metre setback of the site along Serenity Close. Consequential
changes to the current VMP can be conditioned as part of a development permit and
submitted as part of a subsequent operational works application to Council. Based on the
10 Koala habitat tree is defined under the Noosa Plan 2020 as:
a) a food tree of the Corymbia, Melaleuca, Lophostemon or Eucalyptus genera; and
b) a preferred shelter species such as Angophora.

Section 50
Ecological Assessment Report

updated architectural plans (Richards and Spence Architects, Drawing No. SD-A-01-01-G –
SD-A-01-07-G, Rev. J, 5 July 2023) there may be potential impacts on Tree 79 (refer to
the VMP). A tree sensitive construction methodology must be prepared for works within
the tree protection zone (TPZ) of Tree 79 to ensure the long-term health of the tree.
Based on the outcomes of the ecological assessment, the impacts of the proposed change
on vegetation include the direct clearing of a small area of native vegetation located
outside of the site boundary.
The aforementioned impacts are unlikely to be significant because:
● The proposed change is designed to avoid ecologically important areas through the
retention of additional native vegetation and Council’s mapped ecological linkages,
which will result in a net positive impact despite the removal of a small area of native
vegetation for the construction of driveway access;
● The proposed change has been designed to retain a connected area of additional
vegetation along Serenity Close and Banksia Avenue and within Noosa Council’s
Environmental Management and Conservation zoning; therefore, fragmentation and
impacts on vegetation composition / structure will be further minimised;
● Due to unmanaged impacts resulting from existing development / cleared areas on
site, edge effects and weed invasion are prevalent on site; however, the proposed
change is unlikely to exacerbate these impacts to the extent that they are significant;
● The proposed change will minimise indirect impacts including edge effects and
disruptions to ecological relationships / interactions as the retained vegetation along
the southern boundary is contiguous with Council’s adjoining bushland reserve and
maintains ecological linkages, and impacts will be managed (refer to section 6);
● The proposed change enhances landscape values through weeding and replacement
of dead and dying Koala and/or Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat trees; and,
● Any residual impacts will be further minimised via the management practices and
mitigation strategies identified in Section 6.

5.2.1 NOOSA PLAN 2020
As identified in Section 3.3, the site is mapped as containing an Area of Biodiversity
Significance on the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Map. Levels of
acceptable impacts on vegetation are determined via assessment against the overall
outcomes and relevant performance criteria under the Biodiversity, Waterways and
Wetlands code.
Performance Outcome PO1 of the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands code requires
that the development is sited and designed to protect existing habitat areas and
ecological linkages. Additionally, PO3 of the code requires that the development is
designed and sited to manage adverse impacts on ecologically important areas. In
accordance with AO1.1 and AO3.1, the proposed change has been designed to conserve
approximately 6150 sqm of additional vegetation along the perimeter and southern
boundary of the site and minimise adverse impacts to the greatest extent possible. To
ensure effective management of impacts on vegetation on site and in adjoining areas,
specific management measures are outlined in Section 6.
50 | 66
Section 53
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
An assessment of the proposal against the relevant performance outcomes has been
carried out and is contained in Appendix 9. Subject to implementation of the management
measures in Section 6, results indicate that the proposed change complies with the
outcomes sought by the code.
5.3 FAUNA
Potential impacts on fauna can be categorised as direct impacts associated with habitat
loss to indirect impacts on conserved habitat features. Possible fauna impacts of
development include:
● Changes in habitat niche availability caused by clearing of vegetated habitats;
● Potential clearing of vegetative habitat, including habitat trees and replacement of
habitat niches;
● Competition and predation via the introduction of pest animal species;
● Changes in the fauna community composition as a direct consequence of species
favoured by higher density urban development (e.g. Black Rats, Noisy Miners,
Torresian Crows) at the expense of species more sensitive to urban habitat and
associated environments (e.g. small native mammals and small insectivorous birds);
and,
● Potential impacts of light pollution on the structure and function of fauna
communities through creation of ‘night-light niches’, favouring some species (e.g.,
some species of Microchiropteran bats) often to the detriment of other species (e.g.,
compromised immune function of some species associated with elevated stress
levels due to predation risk foraging in higher than normal ambient light conditions,
as well as alteration to circadian clocks, while some frogs limit movement and
breeding activity as a result of elevated predation risk associated with high light
conditions).
Spatial analysis of the impacts of the proposed change indicated that the proposed
change would be positive in terms of impacts on potential fauna habitat, as a greater area
of native vegetation will be retained. The proposed change is almost entirely located
within the approved development footprint. Whilst additional impacts may occur as a
result of civil works or landscaping, the overall impacts in the context of approved
development footprint are minor in extent. Spatial analysis of the assessable area
indicated:
● The areas of potential direct impacts are located outside of the site boundary to
allow for development of driveway access, and are small relative to the total area of
additional potential habitat that will be retained on site (i.e., removal of 81 sqm of
Areas of Biodiversity Significance on the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands
Overlay Map);
● The proposed removal of additional potential habitat is located along the perimeter
of the site and adjacent to a road, therefore the extent, quality and connectivity of
potential habitat will not be significantly reduced;
51 | 66
Section 54
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
● The proposed change will result in a reduced development footprint by
approximately 7970 sqm;
● Approximately 6150 sqm of additional potential habitat will be retained (refer to
Figure 22);
● Approximately 5731 sqm of areas mapped as Areas of Biodiversity Significance on
the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Map will be retained (refer to
Figure 21); and,
● The proposed change avoids and minimises impacts on ecologically important areas
through the protection of additional potential habitat and ecological linkages on site,
which:
Provides opportunities for restoration of existing disturbed habitat on site;
Secures a habitat link and allows for safe fauna movement within the site and to
the adjacent bushland reserve and riparian areas to the south of the site; and
Adjacent potential habitat is buffered from ‘edge effects’ associated with the
proposed change and urban areas, including indirect impacts such as noise and
light pollution.
● Additional vegetation is proposed to be retained along the southern boundary of the
site, where the site adjoins Council’s bushland reserve for environmental
management. The effect of this is that the proposed change mitigates edge effects
to adjoining vegetation and reduces potential impacts on matters of environmental
significance in the study area and the wider landscape. As such, the proposed
change will reduce barriers to wildlife movement within and adjacent to the site.
In accordance with the approved plans (DBI Design Pty Ltd, Drawing No. L-SD-2.02, Rev.
A, August 2009), it is stipulated that only 17 Koala and Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat
trees are required to be retained. The proposed change will result in the retention of a
large number of additional native habitat trees, thereby exceeding the requirements set
forth by the approved conditions.
The Arborist Report and VMP, identifies vegetation management procedures for trees to
be retained and removed. Based on the updated architectural plans (Richards and Spence
Architects, Drawing No. SD-A-01-01-G – SD-A-01-07-G, Rev. J, 5 July 2023) and
preliminary earthworks plan (ALTA Projects, Drawing No. A6769-23_SK19, Rev. 2, 6 July
2023) additional native trees (DBH ≥ 10 cm) will be retained, including:
● non-juvenile Koala habitat trees
● Glossy Black Cockatoo feed trees (i.e., Allocasuarina littoralis)
● trees with supporting fauna habitat features (e.g., scratch marks, arboreal
termitarium, nests etc.)
Based on the outcomes of the ecological assessment, the potential direct and indirect
impacts of the proposed change on fauna include:
● The direct clearing of a small area of potential habitat located outside of the site
boundary; and,
● Noise and light pollution during the construction phase of the proposed change.
52 | 66
Section 55
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
Direct and indirect impacts on fauna are avoided or otherwise minimised by the fact that
the proposed change will result in a net positive impact on vegetation (i.e., habitat) on
site. The aforementioned impacts are unlikely to be significant because the proposed
change is designed to avoid ecologically important areas through the retention of
additional habitat. The proposed change is not expected to result in any significant
impacts on the aforementioned species and their habitat, because:
● Direct impacts to individual animals are unlikely due to the absence of the species
currently on site;
● The assessable area is likely to only support urban-adapted fauna species, which is
supported by the outcomes of the incidental and targeted Koala and Glossy Black
Cockatoo surveys which indicated no evidence of species usage;
● The site is already subject to a number of threats including proximity to roads, weed
invasion and altered fauna community composition due to the presence of
ubiquitous urban-adapted species, all of which are unlikely to be exacerbated by the
proposed change;
● The proposed change will conserve and enhance a greater area in which ecological
features and biodiversity values were observed, including potential Koala and Glossy
Black Cockatoo habitat;
● The proposed change has been designed to retain additional potential habitat along
Serenity Close, Banksia Avenue and the southern boundary of the site which adjoins
Council’s bushland reserve;
● The retention of additional habitat reduces edge effects and maintains ecological
linkages for safe dispersal of fauna on site and adjoining areas; and,
● Any residual impacts, such as noise and light pollution, will be minimised via
management practices and mitigation strategies identified in Section 6.
5.3.1 THREATENED SPECIES
Desktop assessment identified potential impacts on habitats for at least four (4)
threatened species which were considered likely to occupy or utilise habitats present on
the site. Potential impacts on each of the four species and their respective habitats is
discussed below and supported by the results of the targeted surveys carried out for the
Koala and Glossy Black Cockatoo.
WHITE THROATED NEEDLETAIL
The results of the desktop searches indicated that the site contains potential habitat for
the White Throated Needletail, with records of the species from the surrounding locality;
however, no evidence of the species was recorded on site.
Overall, the proposed change will result in the additional retention of approximately 6150
sqm of observed potential habitat. Furthermore, the proposed change will maintain
physical connectivity to habitat adjacent to the site. Consequently, the proposed change
does not result in any significant habitat loss or loss of foraging habitat and will result in a
net positive impact.
53 | 66
Section 56
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
KOALA
The results of the desktop searches indicated that the site contains potential habitat for
the Koala, with records of the species from the surrounding locality.
Targeted Koala survey indicated that no evidence of koala scat was detected on site,
suggesting that the site is not currently used nor has recently been used by any individual
Koala.
Overall, the proposed change will result in the additional retention of approximately 5558
sqm of the mapped core Koala habitat areas. Furthermore, the proposed change will
maintain physical connectivity to habitat adjacent to the site, which will allow for safe
Koala movement across ecological linkages. Consequently, the proposed change does not
result in any significant habitat loss or loss of shelter / foraging habitat and will result in a
net positive impact.
GLOSSY BLACK COCKATOO
The results of the desktop searches indicated that the site contains potential habitat for
the Glossy Black Cockatoo (and subspecies), with records of the species from the
surrounding locality.
The results of the targeted survey suggested that none of the Allocasuarina trees within
the assessable area were active feed trees for Glossy Black Cockatoo. A systematic search
beneath the entire canopy of all Allocasuarina trees within the assessable area indicated
no presence of orts.
Overall, the proposed change will result in the retention of additional habitat trees for the
Glossy Black Cockatoo. Additionally, the proposed change will maintain physical
connectivity to habitat adjacent to the site. The proposed change is unlikely to have a
significant impact on Glossy Black Cockatoos as there will be no clearing of any known 11
feed trees. Consequently, the proposed change does not result in any significant habitat
loss or loss of shelter / foraging habitat and will result in a net positive impact.
5.3.2 NOOSA PLAN 2020
As identified in Section 3.3, the site is mapped as containing an Area of Biodiversity
Significance on the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Map. Levels of
acceptable impacts on vegetation are determined via assessment against the overall
outcomes and relevant performance criteria under the Biodiversity, Waterways and
Wetlands code.
An assessment of the proposal against the relevant performance outcomes has been
carried out and is contained in Appendix 9. Subject to implementation of the management
11 Based on results of the 2022 – 2023 field investigations.
54 | 66
Section 57
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
measures in Section 6, results indicate that the proposed change complies with the
outcomes sought by the code.
5.4 SIGNIFICANT RESIDUAL IMPACTS
As per Section 8 of the Environmental Offsets Act 2014, a significant residual impact is
generally defined as an adverse impact, whether direct or indirect, of a prescribed activity
on all or part of a prescribed environmental matter that:
● remains, or will or is likely to remain, despite on-site avoidance and mitigation
measures; and,
● is, or will, or is likely to be, significant.
An environmental offset condition may be imposed on an authority if the prescribed
activity will, or is likely to, have a significant residual impact on a prescribed environmental
matter.
The proposed change is unlikely to result in a significant residual impact on the prescribed
environmental matters identified in Section 3, as the change will result in a net positive
impact.
Furthermore, as per condition 106 of the Noosa Shire Council development permit (MCU
2008/176), a monetary contribution of $44,160 ($920 x 48 trees) has already been made
to Council to offset the removal of 48 koala habitat trees, thus precluding the imposition
of an additional offset condition as stated under section 25A of the Environmental Offsets
Act 2014 (Qld).
5.5 SUMMARY
The results of impact assessment suggested:
● Spatial analysis of the impacts of the proposed change indicated that the proposed
change results in a net positive impact terms of impacts on vegetation and potential
fauna habitat, as a greater area of native vegetation will be retained.
● Spatial analysis of the assessable area indicated:
The area of potential negative direct impact is located outside of the site
boundary to allow for development of driveway access, and are small relative to
the total area of additional vegetation that will be retained on site; and,
Approximately 6150 sqm of additional native vegetation / potential fauna habitat
retained.
● The proposed change will retain the Koala and Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat trees
shown on the approved plans (DBI Design Pty Ltd, Drawing No. L-SD-2.02, Rev. A,
August 2009) (where observed on site) and additional native species that are
55 | 66
Section 58
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
consistent with the RE, which will lead to an increase in both species richness and
abundance on site.
● The proposed change accounts for opportunities to retain Cymbidium suave, a
special least concern species, and any additional trees located within the open areas
of the proposed landscape plan (refer to Section 6).
● The proposed change has been designed to retain a connected area of additional
vegetation along Serenity Close and Banksia Avenue and within Noosa Council’s
Environmental Management and Conservation zoning; therefore, fragmentation and
impacts to vegetation composition / structure and edge effects will be further
minimised.
● Due to unmanaged impacts resulting from existing development / cleared areas on
site, edge effects and weed invasion are prevalent on site; however, the proposed
change is unlikely to exacerbate these impacts to the extent that they are significant.
● Whilst the desktop assessment indicated that the proposed change could impact on
habitat for conservation significant species such as White Throated Needletail, Koala
and Glossy Black Cockatoo, the impacts are not expected to be significant because
the proposed change:
results in a net positive impact to potential fauna habitat on site;
does not result in any additional habitat loss; and,
does not result in barriers to fauna movement within the site or wider landscape.
● Direct and indirect impacts on native vegetation and fauna are avoided or otherwise
minimised by the fact that the proposed change will result in a net positive impact
on vegetation on site.
● Whilst no direct impacts were identified, indirect impacts on adjacent waterways
and wetlands, such as stormwater runoff and erosion are avoided or mitigated as the
proposed change will result in an increased vegetation buffer along the southern
boundary of the site and the proposed change will utilise design measures such as a
rapid infiltration pit and overland flow path.
● Despite the low potential for significant impacts on matters of environmental
significance, there are opportunities to avoid, minimise, mitigate or reduce impacts
of the proposed change. Opportunities to avoid, minimise, mitigate or reduce
impacts are discussed in the following section of the report.

6 MANAGEMENT MEASURES
This section of the EAR describes environmental management measures and design
measures which are intended to avoid, minimise, mitigate and/or reduce the potential
environmental impacts of the proposed change. Management measures include design
measures to avoid or reduce long-term impacts and mitigation measures designed to
avoid, minimise or mitigate short-term constructions impacts.
Proposed mitigation includes management measures for:
● Waterways and wetlands;
● Vegetation;
● Fauna;
● Landscaping; and,
● Rehabilitation.
6.1 WATERWAYS AND WETLANDS
This section describes the management practices and mitigation strategies which aim to
reduce impacts on the waterways and wetlands located adjacent to the site.
Measures to be taken during construction to minimise or mitigate short-term impacts are
related to the management of stormwater runoff, including erosion and sediment control,
and should be addressed as part of an Erosion and Sediment Control Plan prepared by an
appropriately qualified consultant. Erosion and sediment control measures are to be
conducted in accordance with Best Practice Erosion and Sediment Control (International
Erosion Control Association 2012).
6.2 VEGETATION
This section describes management practices and mitigation strategies which aim to
reduce impacts on native vegetation present on site. In terms of construction measures for
vegetation clearing, the following vegetation management measures could be conditioned
as part of a development permit:
● Vegetation clearing extents are clearly identified on site prior to the commencement
of works;
● Vegetation protection fencing and signage is established at the interface between all
works areas and vegetation to be retained / conserved during clearing works;
● Individual habitat trees to be retained within the development footprint are clearly
flagged and vegetation protection fencing is established is established in
accordance with AS 4970 2009 Trees and development (12 x DBH(m));
57 | 66
Section 60
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
● Vegetation removal to be undertaken by suitably qualified contractors;
● Vegetation clearing is staged or takes place sequentially, allowing animals to move
to adjoining habitats;
● Any tree pruning or maintenance works is carried out by a qualified arborist in
accordance with AS 4373 2007 Pruning of amenity trees;
● All cleared native vegetation is mulched on site and recycled for use in landscape
treatments;
● Mulch stockpiles are to be located in existing cleared areas, outside of tree
protection zones and at least 40 m from waterway / wetland areas;
● Mulch stockpiles are subject to erosion / sediment control measures in accordance
with Council design standards;
● Exotic vegetation mulch is to be disposed of as green waste at landfill;
● Undertake weed removal via non-invasive methods in accordance with best practice;
and,
● Control / prevent public and construction personnel access into areas of retained
vegetation.
All vegetation clearing and ongoing vegetation management must meet all approval
conditions. This includes compliance with the VMP which includes management practices
and mitigation strategies which aim to reduce impacts on native vegetation present on
the site. Additional tree survey was conducted in 2023 along the six (6) metre setback of
the site along Serenity Close.
Consequential changes to the current VMP, to give effect to the latest plans, can be
conditioned as part of a development permit and submitted as part of a subsequent
operational works application to Council. Additionally, a tree sensitive construction
methodology should be prepared for works within the tree protection zone (TPZ) of Tree
79 (refer to the VMP), which may include, vacuum excavation of any excavated areas,
relocation of footings to avoid structural roots and/or the use of structural soils within the
TPZ. The latter can be conditioned as part of a development permit and submitted as part
of a subsequent operational works application to Council.
In addition, it is recommended that replacement planting should be carried out on the
balance land to replace dead or dying trees that were previously identified for retention
on the approved plan L-SD-1.01 (DBI Design Pty Ltd, Rev. A, August 2009; Appendix 1).
Replacement planting should be located within areas of retained vegetation and will
include like for like replacement of species identified on the approved plan. The latter can
be conditioned as part of a development permit and submitted as part of a subsequent
operational works application to Council.
A Translocation Plan should be prepared for Cymbidium suave, which includes procedures
for identification, demarcation and salvaging of the orchid and/or its host plant. The
orchid has a rhizome and root system which penetrates the decaying heartwood of its
host tree, therefore, the host tree or as much of the trunk as possible must be retained
(Jones, Hopley et al. 2010). The following measures should be included in the
Translocation Plan:
58 | 66
Section 61
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
● A complete inspection of the site should be conducted to identify the location of
individual Cymbidium suave prior to any vegetation clearing.
● Where vegetation acting as a host for Cymbidium suave cannot be retained, it is
recommended that the host plant (or part of the trunk), with the Cymbidium suave
attached, be carefully relocated on site to a similar microclimate if possible.
A Translocation Plan can be conditioned as part of a development permit and submitted
as part of a subsequent operational works application to Council.
Detailed design measures for vegetation are also reflected in Section 6.4, which outlines
landscaping requirements.
6.3 FAUNA
This section describes recommended management practices and mitigation strategies
which aim to reduce impacts on native animals present on the site.
Proposed management measures include design measures which minimise long-term
impacts and measures to be taken during clearing and construction to minimise or
mitigate short-term impacts. In terms of construction measures, the following fauna
management measures could be conditioned as part of a development permit:
● A Wildlife Spotter Catcher is to inspect all areas to be cleared prior to the
commencement of works.
● Wildlife Spotter Catcher is to supervise and be present on each day that vegetation
clearing takes place.
● The approval holder must not clear any vegetation supporting any fauna until such
time that the individual(s) vacates the vegetation or is relocated by a suitably
qualified person.
● Veterinary care, or assistance from a wildlife refuge, must be sought if any fauna are
found injured within the project site while clearing and/or construction is occurring
within the site.
● To reduce risk of injury to fauna, all vehicles and plant machinery must stay on pre-
determined routes and roads and must adhere to site speed limits at all times.
● Where identified, active hollows, nests or other breeding places are not to be
interfered with. Tampering with an animal breeding place is in violation of the Nature
Conservation Act 1999 under section 332 of the Nature Conservation (Wildlife
Management) Regulation 2006. However, this does not apply to a person removing
or otherwise tampering with the breeding place if the removal or tampering is part
of an approved species management program for animals of the same species, or,
the person holds a damage mitigation permit for the animal and the permit
authorises the removal or tampering.
● Relocating/ushering of any non-itinerant fauna (other than the Koala), where
practicable, to nearby patches of vegetation or nearby bushland in accordance with,
inter alia, the Code of Practice – Care of Sick, Injured or Orphaned Protected Animals
in Queensland (Department of Environment and Heritage Protection 2013), and the
59 | 66
Section 62
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
Technical manual: Interim hygiene protocol for handling amphibians (Department of
Environment and Heritage Protection 2013).
● Vegetation containing Koala(s) or Glossy Black Cockatoo(s) are to be demarcated
with high visibility flagging tape and no further clearing is to take place within 20 m
of the vegetation until such time as the individual(s) has completely vacated the site.
Any interactions with the individuals or management measures are to be determined
in consultation with the licensed Wildlife Spotter Catcher.
● Dust and particulate matter must not exceed the allowable levels when measured at
any nuisance sensitive place or downwind of the project site, and must be monitored
in accordance with any relevant Australian Standard or any alternative method of
monitoring which may be permitted by the ‘Air Quality Sampling Manual’ as
published from time to time by the administering authority.
● Hours of construction must be in accordance with the provisions of any relevant
local law. Noise compliance shall be monitored in accordance with the Noise
Measurement Manual (Queensland Department of Environment and Science 2020)
or AS 1055:2108 Acoustics – Description and measurement of environmental noise.
Work activities are to be modified where noise or vibration is found to cause
unacceptable impact.
In addition, the following design measures should be implemented to minimise impacts on
native fauna within retained potential habitat areas:
● Landscaping within the site should complement and connect retained vegetation to
maintain conduits of dispersal for fauna throughout the site and adjoining
vegetation.
● Installation of fauna sensitive lighting to minimise impacts on light-sensitive fauna,
including:
All artificial night lighting to be directed downwards and away from areas of
retained vegetation through the installation of low-spillage lighting. Lighting
along any pedestrian pathways to be mounted on bollards that direct lighting
downwards, thus reducing the distance that some light-tolerant and light-
sensitive fauna species are influenced. Lighting is more effective if pointed
downwards rather than outwards as glare from non-directed lights reduces
observability.
Low-pressure sodium globes or other globes emitting yellow light should be used
preferentially as they generally do not attract flying insects, that themselves
attract light-tolerant fauna.
Additional fauna management measures are outlined in the approved Fauna Management
Plan (C & B Group, May 2005). Where any conflicts arise between specific measures
outlined in the EAR and the approved Fauna Management Plan (C & B Group, May 2005),
the management measure described in the EAR will take precedence to ensure that
contemporaneous management practices are undertaken. If required, an updated Fauna
Management Plan can be conditioned as part of a development permit and submitted as
part of a subsequent operational works application to Council.

Section 63
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
6.4 LANDSCAPING
Landscaping incorporating retention of native vegetation, revegetation of cleared areas,
pest management and habitat augmentation are management measures which could be
implemented to reduce and counteract the impacts of the proposed change. Having
regard to any bushfire management requirements, best-practice measures involving the
use of native species in landscaping can be used to:
● Minimise the risk of introduction of environmental weeds,
● Reduce the impact of habitat loss on native species, and,
● Improve connectivity / permeability within the landscape.
Landscaping requirements can be conditioned as part of any development permit and
should address inter alia, the following elements of best practice:
● Use of locally indigenous plant species (i.e., avoid exotic species),
● Use of native species known to provide habitat to native fauna,
● Matching plant species to observed landform / land zones / regional ecosystems,
● Establishment of structural layers within landscaped vegetation (understorey +
shrub + tree),
● Promote fine-scale ‘patchiness’ of vegetation, and,
● Weed management measures’.
Any Landscape Plan should include planting of Koala and Glossy Black Cockatoo habitat
trees to replace any dead or dying trees approved for retention shown on plan L-SD-1.01
(Rev. A) dated August 2009 by DBI Design Pty Ltd. Fallen trees and hollow logs should be
retained where possible for the purpose of providing habitat for ground-dwelling fauna.
6.5 REHABILITATION
In addition to landscaping of areas within and adjacent to the building, the area of land
zoned Environmental Management and Conservation should be rehabilitated in
accordance with the outcomes sought by the Noosa Plan 2020 Biodiversity, Waterways
and Wetlands Overlay Code (PO 5 and PO 10).
Rehabilitation of the subject area will result in:
● a net improvement in the ecological condition of the land – improving habitat
quality;
● reduced weed content and cover;
● enhanced functional connectivity within the site and the wider landscape; and,
● to the maximum extent practicable, incorporate the proposed translocation of
trees/trunks of trees containing Cymbidium suave and any replacement planting
(described in section 6.2, above)
61 | 66
Section 64
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
Rehabilitation should be undertaken in accordance with the South East Queensland
Ecological Restoration Framework: Code of Practice, Guideline and Manual and can be
conditioned as part of a development permit and submitted as part of a subsequent
operational works application to Council.
The Rehabilitation Plan should incorporate conservation biology principles and use these
to guide detailed revegetation and rehabilitation specifications and include. inter alia, the
following elements:

Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
7 SUMMARY ASSESSMENT
The following Ecological Assessment Report (EAR) has been prepared by Litoria
Consulting Pty Ltd on behalf of Calile Malouf Investments Pty Ltd for land described as 3 -
7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads (Lots 10 and 11 on SP195871).
The purpose of the EAR was to:
● Describe the ecological features and processes of the development site;
● Provide an assessment of the nature conservation values of these features and
processes;
● Provide a description of threatening processes evident on site;
● Document potential development impacts upon these ecological values and
features; and,
● Detail impact mitigation measures which will be undertaken to avoid or mitigate
those impacts to an acceptable standard.
The EAR has been prepared generally in accordance with Noosa Council Planning Scheme
Policy 3 - Ecological assessment guidelines; however, also includes additional, targeted
survey for the Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) and Glossy Black Cockatoo
(Calyptorhynchus lathami). The EAR includes:
● Identification of the flora, fauna and habitat of the site and its immediate
environment to determine the ecological features,
● Identification of matters of environmental significance on and adjacent to the site,
● Determination of the potential impacts of the operation and construction phases of
the development on the matters of environmental significance on and adjacent to
the site, and on long term viability and function of these matters, and,
● Recommendations in relation to any measures or changes to the development
design that may be required to avoid or mitigate any impacts of the development
design, construction, and operation.
The proposed change is for a resort complex with ancillary retail. The development
comprises resort accommodation, with 174 rooms, 16 suites and five (5) villas; resort
facilities, including restaurants, function rooms, indoor and outdoor recreation, well-being
and open space areas; and resort retail.
The results of the impact assessment suggested:
● Spatial analysis of the impacts of the proposed change indicated that the
development would be positive in terms of impacts to vegetation and potential
fauna habitat, as a greater area of native vegetation will be retained.
● Whilst the desktop assessment indicated that the assessable area could impact on
habitat for conservation significant species such as White Throated Needletail, Koala
and Glossy Black Cockatoo, the impacts are not expected to be significant because,
the proposed change:
63 | 66
Section 66
Ecological Assessment Report
3 - 7 Serenity Close, Noosa Heads
results in a net positive impact to potential fauna habitat on site
does not result in any significant habitat loss
does not result in barriers to fauna movement within the site or wider landscape.
● The assessable area is not expected to result in any significant, direct impacts to
waterways or wetlands as the development footprint does not contain waterways or
wetlands. Indirect impacts to adjacent waterways and wetlands, such as stormwater
runoff and erosion are avoided or mitigated through design and management
measures.
● Despite the low potential for significant impacts to matters of environmental
significance, there are opportunities to avoid, minimise, mitigate or reduce impacts
of the proposed change which are discussed in section 6.

(such as watering gardens, irrigation, ornamental ponds, water features, topping-up swimming
pools, outdoor cleaning, etc) and for internal (ground floor) use in washing machine cold taps
and toilet cisterns. All rainwater tanks are to be designed and installed in accordance with the
Queensland Development Code (QDC) current at the time of building approval, and shall be
part of the plumbing application for approval. The location and capacity of the tanks shall be
clearly shown on the plans submitted for Building Works/Operational Works approval and any
overflow shall be directed to the stormwater drainage system.
58. A stormwater management plan and stormwater management design must be submitted to
Council for approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works. The
Page 7 of 30
Section 78
2008/176
stormwater management plan and stormwater management design must be prepared by a
RPEQ, specialising in stormwater and water quality management incorporating the principles
of the relevant approved Management Plans as described in Decision Notice 23118 DA. The
stormwater management plan and stormwater management design must demonstrate water
reuse strategies, infrastructure capacity and effective treatment methodology. The use of
rainwater harvesting tanks for irrigation purposes shall be incorporated in the overall design
plans. The following information is required to be submitted with the stormwater management
plan and stormwater management design submitted with the application for Operational Works
Approval:

ii. Total phosphorous levels – 0.035 mg/l.
59. All stormwater drainage shall be collected on site and discharged so there is no net increase
in stormwater runoff from the site.
60. To ensure that polluted run-off does not enter the water table, the adjoining waterways or
Council’s stormwater drainage system, stormwater run-off from the car parking areas and the
driveways shall have the first flush (the first 12 mm of rainfall or hose-down) collected in a
grease/oil arrestor/gross pollutant trap provided on site prior to being permitted to discharge
into the larger drainage system.
All other clean stormwater, such as roof water, can be collected on site and discharged
through a single underground drain line directly into the existing drainage system, bypassing
the grease/oil arrestor/gross pollutant trap.
To this end, a detailed maintenance plan shall be prepared for the proposed grease/oil
arrestors/gross pollutant trap, which shall be submitted to the Council for approval prior to
obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works.
The approved maintenance plan shall be incorporated in the Community Management
Scheme for the development and a copy of this shall be provided for Council’s records prior to
commencement of the approved Use.
61. A Development Permit for Building Works shall not be granted until a Development Permit for
Operational Works has been issued in regard to the drainage scheme.
62. All site stormwater drainage shall be by means of a gravity system.
