 1.5     Proposed works

Noosa Council propose to expand the existing Landfill Facility with the development of two
new cells (Cell 2.3 and Cell 2.4). Both new cells are located within the existing ultimate landfill
footprint. Both cells will be constructed with lined containment bunds and a basal liner.
Interim impervious cover will be installed over all cells initially, followed by permanent
capping. Interim impervious cover over the new cells will consist of 300mm of clay with
100mm of top soil and grass cover. Final capping will occur over a 10 year period.

Both proposed cells require the provision of an access road and stormwater management,
including rock chute drains resulting in substantial earthworks. The access track is proposed
to be 8 metres wide. The access will be located between the eastern extent of the cells and
the pegged extent of vegetation clearing line. During site filling operations, Cell 2.4 will drain
to a sediment basin to the north of the cell. Cell 2.3 will drain to a sediment basin to the south
of the cell. The construction of clean water diversion drain is also proposed to the south of
Cell 2.3. In total, earthworks associated with the access road and stormwater management
are expected to require approximately 12,000m3 of additional fill, which can be sourced from
excavation of the proposed cells.

Current, surface water runoff flows to the east/north-east of the site. Some of this surface
flow is directed north from the southern end of the landfill into a constructed channel before
flowing north-east into the remnant bushland areas. Future proposed surface water flows will
be directed north and south along the landfill boundary before discharging into the remnant
bushland areas. Clearing for the new southern stormwater discharge area will result in the
clearing of up to 6,500 m2 of vegetation.

Additional infrastructure is to be sited in the northern area of the site which requires the
clearing of an additional area of 9,000 m2 of vegetation.

The activities to which this IMP applies include:

        Clearing all vegetation within landfill extension footprint.
        Levelling and reprofiling works for creation of new cells.
        Construction of trunk and access road around perimeter of proposed landfill
         extension.
        Drainage works including clean water diversion drains.
        Weed control operations.

 Refer to Figure 1 for the locality of works and Figure 2 for the survey area and specific
 locations of EVNT species found on site and/or their potential habitat zones within and
 adjacent to the works footprint. Refer to Appendix A for a plan of the proposed works at
 the site.
