The waste services on Noosa North Shore are under review. No changed to mapping proposed
Council’s hydrological consultant has reviewed the flood mapping for this property: The submission
states the Council’s contour mapping is incorrect and that actual surface levels are significantly higher
than the 1m above AHD as shown. The submission does not include a detailed site survey to support the
statement however similar survey has been provided for the neighbouring property of 4‐6 Wygani Drive.
This survey (for 4‐6 Wygani Drive) has been checked against the 2016 Aerial Laser Survey (ALS) data
set and compares well. Therefore, using the same ALS data I have checked a selection of ground
surface levels from points across the property (2A Wygani Drive). The levels confirm the statement in the
submission that ground surface levels are above 1.0m AHD. The 1m AHD contour aligns approximately
to the grassed edge of the river bank. Surface levels rise from there back towards the main house
footprint and appear to continue to rise to approximately 1.5m AHD near the centre of the property.
Surface levels gradually decline from there towards the rear and western boundary but remain above
1.0m AHD with the lowest levels of approximately 1.3m AHD. These levels are consistent with the
publicly available flood mapping1 for this site for the anticipated design flood levels determined for this
location. On the basis of these findings there are no grounds for the amendment of Council’s flood
inundation mapping for this property.

recent times in the Frying Pan area. Hydrologist provided detailed comments including the following summary:
“In summary, the matters raised in the submission may reflect a need for Council to consider further
strategies to raise community awareness of the flood risks associated with both catchment flooding and
storm tides particularly in the lower Noosa River. Such a strategy could be used to provide guidance on
improving community resilience as the risk of flooding increases over time due to climate change and to
promote the land use planning and other responses that Council are using to help protect the
community.”
Council does not support any additional building bulk on the river front that takes away from the natural
character of the foreshore area. Roof structures over jetties are not supported. The suggestion of
establishing a process for removing illegal jetties on the river is supported but does not form part of the
new planning scheme development.
