   Attachment 2 to the Ordinary Meeting dated 15 May 2025
           New condition - Noosa Springs Odour Monitoring


14. Real Time Odour Monitoring

   (a) Monitoring Equipment Intent
   Install and maintain a real time odour monitoring system which continuously samples
   odour on the resort site and provides real time updates to resort management of
   odour concentrations. The monitoring system must monitor relevant odour
   indicators (such as Hydrogen Sulphide) and provide real time alerts via email/SMS to
   resort management when trigger levels are reached/exceeded. The monitoring
   system must include an on-site weather station with real time output for comparison
   to odour results to identify potential odour source location.
   Upon receipt of an odour alert, resort staff are to implement management actions to
   advise persons in outdoor areas to relocate indoors until such time as the real time
   odour monitoring results are below the trigger level.


   (b)      Odour Monitoring Action Management Plan
   Prior to operational works approval, prepare an odour action management plan and
   submit to Council for approval which details the following:
   (i)      Specifications for real time odour monitoring system including:
            a. Equipment requirements including relevant Australian Standards to which
                the equipment must be provided and maintained.
            b. Odour indicators to be monitored (i.e. Hydrogen Sulphide or other
                representative indicators)
            c. Trigger concentrations of odour indicators which are representative of
                odour concentrations which may result in exceedance of the Queensland
                Odour Guideline standard.
            d. Location of monitoring point/s
            e. Co-located weather station with real time output for comparison to odour
                results to identify potential odour source location.
            f. Data storage and record keeping equipment
            g. Calibration and maintenance requirements.
   (ii)     Actions to be undertaken by resort management upon receipt of odour alert
            from real time odour monitoring (ie relocating external guests/persons to
            indoor areas, closing up of open windows/doors to communal space areas
            etc).
   (iii)    Records to be kept of odour alerts, actions undertaken and any odour
            complaints received in respect to odour alert events.
   (iv)     Records to be available for review by Council officers upon request.
