Maintenance:
Maintenance of the landscaping both inside the mini golf course and the privacy hedging will
be incorporated into the Noosa Hills Golf Course Greenkeeping Team’s weekly duties. There
are 4 full time employees and 1 part time employee in this team. These duties will include
weekly weeding, pruning (when needed), hedging (when needed), fertilising (when needed)
and other general tasks needed to maintain the facility to a high standard. Irrigation will be
installed as part of the works and will be on timers to ensure plants get sufficient water.


Mini Golf Course:
The approved works are contained solely within the Noosa Hills Golf Course site and do not
impact any other landowner. The mini golf course site is located on what is currently known
as the South Course Hole 9. This entire hole will be closed to golfers and secured by
Temporary Fencing restricting any access before construction starts and throughout the build.
This temporary fencing will ensure safety of vehicle and pedestrian access during construction
of the mini golf course and surrounds. The builder, Mini Golf Creations, have extensive
experience in building mini golf courses.

Timeline of Build:
It expected the car park works to take up to 4 weeks to complete and the mini golf course to
take up to 16 weeks to complete subject to any weather delays. It is proposed that the car
park works be completed first, followed by the mini golf course and surrounds. It is not
expected for these works to overlap. An estimated program for the mini golf construction has
been included for reference.

Impact of Build:
The build is not expected to have a major impact on local traffic routes or neighbouring
properties. The mini golf course builders will have approximately a team of 6 on site for the
build whilst the car park builders a team less than 5. It is not expected for these works to
overlap. There is adequate parking within the golf course to cater for their vehicles and
adequate space on the course to cater for their equipment. The entire South Course Hole 9
will be closed and available for storage and parking of machinery.

Any deliveries to site will access the South Course Hole 9 construction area immediately upon
entering and cause minimal impact (if any) to the golf operations. During deliveries, workers
on site will wear high visibility clothing and direct traffic if and when necessary.

Silt fencing will be erected along the spoon drain on the south of the mini golf course as well
as the exit area of the site to ensure adequate sediment control measures. There will be no
spoil taken off site.

Upon Operational Works Approval, a letter will be sent to the owner (Shane Baldwin) of
neighbouring property, 15 Hollett Road, advising him of the expected timeframe, construction
commencement and key construction contacts throughout the build. It is expected that regular
contact with Shane will be ongoing throughout the build process. We will also be
communicating with our golfers via direct email the plans, timelines and safety measures being
implemented during the build process.
