Dear Sir / Madam,

Re: Property located at 18 Arakoon Crescent, SUNSHINE BEACH QLD 4567,
described as Lot 791 RP 48111 - Property No.141673

Council has recently received a complaint with respect to the above mentioned
property in relation to works being conducted at the rear of the property in the Coastal
Protection Area identified by The Noosa Plan's Natural Resources Overlay. Inspection
by Council Officers has confirmed that works have been carried out.

The works conducted requires a Development Permit for Building Works Assessable
against the Planning Scheme under the Natural Resources Overlay. Such approval
has not been obtained and therefore the works have been undertaken in breach of
both the Noosa Plan and the Planning Act 2016.

inspection of the site and review of the matter has also identified that the requirements
of the agreed Landscaping and Landscaping Remedial Planting Document (as
attached) are not being complied with including:

e Little to no effort controlling environmental weeds in the lower section of
dunal area.

e Bromeliads sp and Rhaphiolepis indica (Indian Hawthorn) has been planted
within top section and along beach access track. These are considered
environmental weeds and are not listed within desired planting list.

s As specified within the agreed plans, no jute matting, mulch or other erosion
control measures other than rock work associated with track construction,
have been implemented.

e Works associated with track construction and sand removal works have
impacted on existing native vegetation i.e. covering roots of Pandanus tree.

in this regard it is note that a condition of the Pedestrian Access Permit issued to you
on 4 February 2015 required the following:

1. The property owner agrees to undertake coastal rehabilitation work in the area
adjacent to the pedesirian access as required from time to time with Council
approval.
