• increase the koala habitat footprint — due to the presence of feral animals, I doubt you will find koalas
on my lands. In my opinion, Noosa Council already owns sufficient footprint areas for koala habitat
and my lands should not be used to increase the koala habitat. I also wish to state that I strongly
oppose Noosa Council using rate payer's money to purchase more land for koala habitat — how much
more land does Noosa Council need? It already has some in excess of 4000 hectares;
• decrease development and construction — this is not good for the economy of Noosa. People need to
make a living, you can't just kill everything. Given that the population is increasing, how does Noosa
Council suggest we feed these people? We will have to import food to feed the increasing population.”

amendments to the Noosa Plan which are likely to impact on her property and the economy of Noosa as a
whole. The property has some overlays (biodiversity, koala habitat and bushfire) around the very edges
where vegetation exists.
“The New Noosa Plan seeks to:
There is no agricultural overlay mapping over the property in the current or new planning scheme.
• reduce agricultural footprint on rural properties – why? – These lands are productive and should be
used to bring money into the Noosa economy. Council should support farmers and grazers; The property is unable to be subdivided under the draft or current Noosa Plan. The property is 1.2
hectares in area. A minimum lot size of 2ha is required under the current scheme and 1.5 hectares
• add more biodiversity, riparian, flood overlay footprints at the expense of the agricultural footprint, under the new.
these lands have been cleared in the past;
• increase possible koala habitat footprint – due to the presence of dingoes, wild dogs and foxes, it will
be very unlikely that you will see koalas on possible habitat land. Council has plenty of Koala habitat
areas, private freehold land should not be used to increase koala habitat. Rate payers moneys should
not be used to purchase any further koala habitat land – how much more koala habitat is needed?
This does not bring income into Noosa’s economy;
• reduce development and construction – this is not good for the economy of Noosa. I was disappointed
that Council did not approve the expansion of Noosa Civic shopping centre.
I've been unable to undertake a controlled burn – this is concerning because we have experienced recent
wild fires in Noosa in January 2018 and we are land locked in the event that a fire does occur – it is unclear
why council does not allows us to undertake a controlled fire burn.
Return subdivision rights removed by council without consultation – I should be able to develop my land
without charge.”

the purposes of agriculture or other uses. The agricultural mapping is shown around the cleared
house and immediate yard area. There is no agricultural mapping shown over the property in the
current plan.
Flooding – Council’s Hydrologist has provided detailed comments on the flood mapping and the
submitter’s independent flood review. The property clearly has some flooding potential. The flood
overlay appropriately represents the flood risk for land use planning purposes. On this basis no
change is recommended to the proposed Flood Hazard Overly for this location.
Biodiversity overlay reflects areas planned to be revegetated following recent clearing. No
changes required.
