Groundwater Dependant Ecology Preliminary Impact Assessment v1                             NCES REF: J000538
90 Beach Road, Noosa North Shore




3     SITE DESCRIPTION

The site is located on the Noosa North Shore and is surrounded by vegetated allotments to the
north, east and south. The existing Noosa Northshore Beach Houses development is located to
the west which comprises beach houses set amongst bushland. Beach Road borders the site’s
northern boundary with a commercial campground located north-west of the site. Existing fire
management trails are present along the eastern and southern boundary. Ground water dependant
wetlands contained within National Park tenure are present to the east of the site. No infrastructure
is known to be present to the east of the site which could be influenced by the proposal
Plate 1 details site conditions including the approximate location of the proposed wave pool.

3.1    Topography
The wave pool location ranges in elevation from 10m to 15m ASL and is characterised by a simple
slope associated with a broad low ridgeline which flanks the south-western site extent. Gentle
slopes of <5 degrees with a predominantly easterly aspect descend from the crest of the ridgeline
to the east onto a broad coastal alluvial plain host to the groundwater dependant ecosystem the
subject of this assessment.
Plate 2 depicts topography conditions within and adjacent to the site.
