Dear Jack,
RE: Addendum to Ecological Assessment Report prepared for proposed BA MCU on Lot 500
on SP215779, located at 90 Beach Road, Noosa North Shore.
Please find herewith updated vegetation clearing calculations based on the revised plan provided as
an attachment to this Addendum. The clearing calculations presented within this Addendum are to
supersede the calculations presented in Section 5.1.1 (Impacts) of the Ecological Assessment
Report prepared by NCES and submitted with the development application for the subject site.
A total of approximately 1.3ha of vegetation mapped as an Environmental Protection Area under
Noosa Plan 2006 is proposed to be cleared/modified to locate the lagoon and the proposed new
dwelling inclusive of bushfire safety setbacks to achieve a BAL 29 AS 3959:2018 construction
Standard (12m APZ).
Approximately 0.15ha is required to be cleared to accommodate the new dwelling unit inclusive of a
12m bushfire setback to enable a BAL 29 construction standard under AS 3959:2018. It is noted that
only understorey and mid-storey vegetation clearing is anticipated to be required within the APZ to
facilitate AS 3959:2018 low threat vegetation conditions.
Based on the revised plan provided, approximately 1.15ha of vegetation mapped as an
Environmental Protection Area under Noosa Plan 2006 and Category C vegetation under the VM
Act 1999, is proposed to be cleared to accommodate the lagoon. It is noted Cat C vegetation is not
an assessable matter under the Planning Regulation for an MCU. This calculation is based on the
lagoon footprint only and has not considered additional vegetation which may require clearing to
provide construction access and working areas outside of the lagoon footprint.


Should you have any queries regarding this matter please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincere regards,
