Dear Patrick,

Response to Further Issues Request - Proposed ‘Boutique Hotel’, Noosa Springs Golf
and Spa Resort, 61 Noosa Springs Drive, Noosa Heads, described as Lot 4 on SP178340

Reference is made to your emails of 16 October 2022 and 3 November 2022. Further
information has been requested about the extent of tree removal and retention across the
site because of the proposed development. Further, more information has been requested
about the bushfire mitigation measures being proposed towards the east and the
implications, if any, of the proposed additional planting of koala food trees within the golf
course, in particular towards the southeast.

With respect to the extent of tree retention and removal on the site, Gondwana Ecology has
inspected the site and provided further advice (refer Attachment 1). Gondwana Ecology has
undertaken a tree count generally within four (4) areas across the site (as shown in
Attachment A) and has estimated the number of trees to be removed and retained within
those areas.

It should be noted the tree count undertaken is not based on a survey but is a reasonable
estimate within the four (4) areas shown. While the Council has requested further
information about the tree removal and retention, not all of the vegetation is designated as
having an Area of Biodiversity Significance under the overlay mapping, with much of the
vegetation having been planted by the developer. Further, it is only the vegetation towards
the north that is included under the koala habitat mapping (refer Figure 1).
