                                                facility within a rural setting in the Noosa region,
      or closer to the coast.
                                                noting that approved function facilities are typically
                                                located in urban or coastal areas.
                                                As a result, the proposal is to be established on
                                                Rural zoned land, where the applicant can create
                                                unique weddings or other events in a scenic rural
                                                location.

 Dust Impacts                                   To address this issue, it has been conditioned that
                                                the access/driveway be sealed.
  -   The compacted gravel access road
      (will result in increased dust which
      may affect drinking water supply,
      require more tank clean outs and
      increased filtration requirements, and
      may also impact effectiveness of
      solar panels.
  -   One solution would be to seal the
      access road.

 Days and hours of operation                    The development has been conditioned to operate
                                                between 11am-10pm with guests to vacate the
                                                premises by 10:30pm.
                                                Functions must not occur on a gazetted

                                                followed by a gazetted Queensland public holiday.

 Lack of public transport, taxis and 13Cabs provides taxi services to Ringtail Creek.
 Ubers                               Similarly ride sharing apps like Uber also operate
                                     in this area and can be booked in advance.
                                                The availability of public transport to Ringtail
                                                Creek is limited with buses only operating as far
                                                as Tewantin. From Tewantin a taxi or similar
                                                would be required to get to the venue.
                                                Alternatively, the development anticipates charter
                                                buses to be hired for wedding and other functions.
