REFERENCE DOCUMENTS - RAL25/0004 (As Published)

                    The historic aerial photographs generally correlate with desktop information and indicate:

                    •    The generally low resolution of imagery and nature of the variable topography has resulted in
                         relatively large variations in shadows, albedo, and other topology effects. This has made it difficult to
                         ascertain land use changes with respect to smaller structures and topography features such as
                         depressions and pits.

                    •    From the date of the earliest aerial photo in 1953 until at least 1967 the northern and mid portion of
                         the site appears to have been disturbed and then progressively levelled that may have included the
                         use of imported fill.
                    •    From 1971 the site has remained vacant and essential unchanged with respect to the observable
                         land use.


        3.14.       DESIGNATED INVESTIGATION SITES
                    Other information presented in Appendix D (pages 10-13) indicates that there are no records for the site
                    and surrounding buffers with respect to:

                    •    Defence, Air Services Australia or Queensland Fire and Emergency Services per-and poly-fluoroalkyl
                         substances (PFAS) investigation and management programs
                    •    Defence Regional Contamination Investigation Program

                    •    National Waste Management Site Database.


        3.15.       RIGHT TO INFORMATION
                    A Right To Information (RTI) application was lodged with DESI requesting the following information:

                    •    All documents relating to 62 Lake McDonald Drive, Cooroy, Qld 4563 (Lot 105 on SP118458), and
                         which may be located on the EMR, and which informs of any contamination or waste disposal on this
                         land including by night soil, bottle or general waste disposal, for the period 1 January 1955 to 13
                         February 2023.
                    DESI’s Environmental Services Regulation division stated that they do not hold any relevant documents
                    (refer to the RTI response presented at the end of Appendix E that also contains correspondence from
                    Council stating an RTI request with them would likely have a similar outcome).
