2016-07-12 - Item 13 - Att 1 - Extractive Resources and Mineral Planning Study 2016

Whilst there are sand resources in the southern end of the Sunshine Coast region at Meridan
Plains, long term sand resource for Noosa Shire is in limited supply.

Separation Area:
The separation area is approximately 500 m around the boundary of the local resource processing
area

Transport route:
No transport route has been identified

Special considerations:
The site contains waterways, environmental protection, riparian buffer areas and is partly within a
water catchment under the overlays. Separation areas are in the bushfire hazard overlay. There
may be downstream impacts on the Noosa River if the site was to be developed. Drainage and
stormwater management is a key issue.

Recommendation:
It is recommended the Kin Kin Creek sand resource be excluded from the new planning scheme
for the following reasons:
      the reducing demand for sand resources in Noosa given its projected low growth;
      extensive availability of sand resource south of Noosa;
      the site contains no approval or permits and is not operational;
      the site’s distance to market and identified lack of commercial viability;
      environmental constraints and potential environmental impacts.
