Lot 9 on RP225312 – 100 Cooyar Street, Noosa Heads




1     INTRODUCTION

1.1      Background
North Coast Environmental Services have been commissioned by to prepare a Fauna Management
Plan to manage fauna prior and during vegetation clearing to be undertaken on Lot 9 on RP225312,
located at 100 Cooyar Street, Noosa Heads QLD (referenced hereafter as ‘the site’). The habitat
removal is required to construct the approved Material Change of Use (MCU) development
application (Banksia Wing).

1.2      Proposed Vegetation clearing and disturbance
The impact of the development has been reported in an Ecological Assessment Report prepared by
North Coast Environmental for the application (NCES Ref: Ecological Assessment Report V2
J000542, dated 21/03/2023).
The southern extent of the proposed works footprint will potentially require the removal of up to 8
Allocasuarina littoralis (black she-oaks) over a cleared /mulched understorey (refer Plate 1). The
approved upgrade to the existing Maintenance Area in the northern site extent may also require




                                                                                                         DRAFT - NOT APPROVED FOR SUBMISSION
vegetation clearing.
It was a recommendation of the EAR that an arborist should confirm the likely impact of the proposed
development to the in-situ tree assemblages. It is understood that an Arborist assessment has been
completed which provides guidance on tree clearing requirements and is to be read in conjunction
with this plan.

the approved plan of development is presented as Appendix 1.
