EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Peregian Digital Hub currently has a commercial office vacancy. Following a market process
conducted by Colliers, a prospective tech industry tenant has been identified. This report
recommends the awarding of a lease to that tenant.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Digital Hub Director to the Planning & Environment Committee
Meeting dated 10 May 2022 regarding the commercial lease of office space at the Peregian Digital
Hub and

B.    Authorise the CEO or delegate to execute any subsequent lease extension, subject to the
      lessee complying with the terms of the lease.


REPORT
The purpose of this report is to seek Council approval to enter into a new lease for commercial
office space at the Peregian Digital Hub.
At the Services and Organisation Committee meeting on 9 October 2021, Council awarded leases
to two tenants and noted that a market process will continue in order to secure a tenant for unit 3b.
Sourcing and evaluation of prospective tenants for unit 3b has been undertaken by Colliers,
Council’s contracted provider of Property Management Services, in accordance with the Local
Government Regulation 2012 and guided by the Sound Contracting Principles set out in the Local
Government Act 2009.
Colliers has worked collaboratively with the Digital Hub Director to ensure that Council’s strategic
objective of bringing together the optimal mix of technology company tenants in the Hub is
achieved.
Colliers received multiple high quality tenancy applications for unit 3b and have recommended TP
Collab Trading Pty Ltd as the prospective tenant for unit 3b at the Digital Hub, guided by criteria
that evaluate both their ability to meet the commercial obligations of the tenancy and their fit with
the objectives and culture of the Hub.
Colliers has provided Council an outline of the procurement process, timeline and assessment
criteria, refer Attachment 1.

               Dear Robyn and Chris,

               Re: Tenant Application Support -TP Collab Trading Pty Ltd

               It is the view of Colliers International Sunshine Coast that the successful placement of TP Collab
               Trading Pty Ltd (hereinafter “TP Collab”) will be a successful step in Noosa Council's strategic
               objective of bringing together the optimal mix of technology companies to the Hub. This letter
               outlines our assessment of the tenant against the assessment criteria.

               Tenant Overview: TP Collab Trading Pty Ltd
               TP Collab is a tech platform built to enable supplier funded marketing to be managed easily by
               both the retailer and the supplier. The tech build commenced 12 months ago and the company
               has signed 3 major retailers; The Warehouse Group, Coles, Liquor Marketing Group, with several
               others in late stage negotiations. TP Collab currently has 12 employees, 9 who are WFH in
               Melbourne and 3 who will be working at the Peregian Digital Hub, With plans for significant
               growth over the next 12 months
               Tenant Assessment Criteria
                Commercial Terms               18/20     The commercial lease terms are similar to the
                                                         previously leased tenancies while providing a fair
                                                         and competitive accommodation solution for the
                                                         tenant.
                                                         The rental rate offered is higher than most
                                                         Sunshine Coast commercial office space on “face-
                                                         value” however the ancillary benefits provided to
                                                         the tenant well-justify the higher rental rate as the
                                                         entire deal represents excellent value for money.
                                                         A 1-year commitment with a bond equivalent to 3
                                                         months is a standard commitment for a space of

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is to provide background information and a recommendation regarding
the application to the Economic Development Grants Program from the Noosa Chamber of
Commerce & Industry Inc (the Noosa Chamber).

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Project Officer, Economic Development, to the Planning &
Environment Committee Meeting dated 10 May 2022 and approve the Noosa Chamber of
Commerce & Industry Inc. application to the Economic Development Grants Program in the
amount of $30,000, to be paid in two instalments, with the following conditions:
A.   Payment 1 (June 2022) - $15,000 Paid upon agreement with the Chamber on:
     1.    Defined project plans that provide the pathway from objectives to outcomes;
     2.    KPI’s including membership and funding targets;
     3.    Removal of potential duplication with existing projects;
B.   Payment 2 (October 2022) - $15,000 upon presentation of a Progress Report including
     1.    KPI’s as agreed;
     2.    Outcomes achieved to date and how this translates to community benefit;
     3.    Copies of Minutes of the Chamber Committee Meeting to ensure governance and
           Committee management in order;
C.   Monthly Progress meetings with Chamber representatives and Economic Development staff
     in the first six months of the project, and then quarterly for the remainder of the grant program.

REPORT
The Economic Development Grants Policy endorsed by Council in November 2017 ‘supports the
delivery of the Local Economic Plan and enables collaboration and strategic partnerships between
Council, business representative groups and the business community’.
Please note that the former Local Economic Plan was used to assess this grant, as the new
Economic Development Strategy was not endorsed at the time of initial discussions regarding this
application.
Economic Development Grants are allocated to projects that align with Council’s Local Economic
Plan and deliver outcome driven projects that will positively impact the local business environment,
business community, and economy.
The Economic Development Grants Guidelines state that “Grants valued at over 30% of the original
Grants Program budget amount require approval by Council”.


                                                                                       Page 11 of 96

PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                       10 MAY 2022


The purpose of this report is to present a recommendation for the Noosa Chamber’s application to
the Economic Development Grant Program 2021/22.
1.    Grant Guidelines
The Economic Development Guidelines are published on Council’s                         website    at:
https://www.noosa.qld.gov.au/business/grants/economic-development-grant
It is mandatory that the grant application project align with, and help achieve the objectives of the
Local Economic Plan, and demonstrate a significant benefit to the Noosa Business community.
Economic Development Grant Program projects could for example:
     Connect local businesses
     Contribute to the development of business ecosystems
     Encourage business innovation
     Build business & entrepreneurial capacity & skills
     Contribute to the ease of doing business
     Enable partnerships and collaboration between businesses and/or organisations in the
      Noosa region; address a local workforce gap
     Assist in growing the reputation of Noosa as a preferred business location
     Attract additional funding to the Shire
     Contribute to the growth and development of existing and new industry to Noosa.

2.    The Application
Project Title: Noosa Chamber of Commerce & Industry Inc. Road Map & Strategy Implementation
Total Amount requested:        $30,000
Total Project cost:            $41,174
Project Commencement:          May 2022
Project Completion:            June 2023
The Noosa Chamber is a not-for-profit volunteer organisation who are looking to Council for
support to grow their membership, and develop additional revenue streams to assist the
organisation to be financially sustainable in the long term and as a result, provide support services
to the local business community.
The newly elected Noosa Chamber Committee developed a 2021- 2024 Road Map & Strategy
which redefined what the Noosa Chamber stands for, where it fits and how it can be effective, add
value and benefit business and community. The document states that the Noosa Chamber aims
to be considered the peak business group for the Noosa region by stakeholders.
The plan defined five strategic pillars:
1.    Get the foundations right
2.    Business engagement – membership focus
3.    Earning a seat at the table – united voice
4.    Sharing our story
5.    Noosa climate of ideas, incubation & growth
The grant application was submitted to fund the resources needed to deliver against the first two
pillars of the Chambers’ strategic plan:
1.    Get the Foundations Right; and
2.    Business engagement.

                                                                                      Page 12 of 96

Section 13

PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                       10 MAY 2022


The primary cost associated with this application include:
     20/hrs week project administration support – email management, event management and
      promotion, email marketing, web site edits, social media posts
     Project Management of the Chamber’s membership growth strategy including software;
      development of a tiered membership model including value add benefits program;
      establishment of a professional development series; alignment of membership
      communication channels (software, website, social integration).
     Development of revenue diversification plan.
3.    Assessment
Two independent assessments of the grant application against the stated criteria and the specific
responses provided to the direct questions posed in the application form were undertaken and the
recommendation below has Director Approval.
A strong and well connected Chamber of Commerce could be an asset to the business
environment in Noosa, as a conduit into and out of Council's Economic Development Unit. A strong
alliance with a supportive Chamber could also be beneficial to the delivery of key outcomes in
Noosa Council's new Economic Development Strategy, Smart Biosphere.
Whilst the grant application was assessed against the Local Economic Plan 2016-2021, it also
supports the first three of four enablers in the new Economic Development Strategy:
1.    Bold Leadership
2.    Encourage Entrepreneurship
3.    Empowering Ecosystems ‘and
4.    Enabling Infrastructure.
From a risk mitigation (to Council) perspective the application itself did not clearly translate the
objectives and pathways from the Strategic Plan to the deliverables and did not succinctly articulate
the specific benefits and outcomes of the project. These risks and some duplication of effort with
existing Council projects were not clearly considered in the grant application.
4.    Recommendation
Council Officers support the intent of the application in the context of the Noosa Chambers strategic
plan and accept that Council seed funding is a critical step in their pathway to success and in
building an independent and sustainable funding model.
Accordingly, full funding of this application is recommended to Council, but conditional on the
Chamber providing more information on how it will ensure that the desired outcomes and
community benefit are achieved.
It is recommended that the Funding Amount of $30,000 is paid in two instalments to the Chamber
of Commerce with special conditions attached to each milestone payment.
Overall Conditions
The Chamber will be responsible for the delivery of the following outcomes:
     50% Increased membership in year 1 with 80% retention rate
     Increased member participation and engagement through events,                   surveys    and
      communication
     Secure $7000 of sponsorship funds across the next 12 months
     Increased positive presence in external media
     Work with Council officers to complement actions
Special Conditions
Payment to be made in two instalments:
     Payment 1 (June 2022) - $15,000 Paid upon agreement with the Chamber on:

                                                                                      Page 13 of 96

PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                   10 MAY 2022

              Introduction

              The purpose of this road map to the future strategy and implementation plan is to redefine and
              deliver what the Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry stands for, where it fits and how
              it can be effective to benefit business and the community.
              Itis designed to have both a big picture lens, to encompass and influence longer range visions
              and policies to shape and drive Noosa business potential, but just as important, is the lens of
              practical, credible, relevant value that needs to be applied to actions to ensure beneficial
              outcomes to existing and potential members.
              Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry aims to be considered the peak business group
              for the Noosa region by stakeholders. But there is work to do to win respect, trust and to
              create an apolitical approach towards unified business representation and growth. This
              strategy focuses on delivery of clear, consistent, measurable messaging and actions.
              There has never been a more critical time for Noosa stakeholders to work together towards
              sustainable economic, social, and environmental outcomes. For the Chamber to be
              perceived as relevant in today’s challenging environment, there needs to be change. The
              current committee recognises the need for change and is committed to an inclusive,
              collaborative approach where actions are favoured over words. To demonstrate leadership,
              without talking about leading.
              That is not to say that telling the Chamber story is not important — it is. But the focus of those
              stories can’t be the same outdated messages from the past. For example, the Chamber
              must look beyond the traditional networking focus, particularly in this climate, when many of
              their small business members may struggle to attend. This new look Chamber will instead
              build a close network of other business associations and identify and demonstrate real value
              by sharing tangible examples of outcomes they bring to the business community, how they
              represent and advocate for the community’s needs and how that translates to community
              benefits. This moves them up the value scale with key stakeholders, from relevant to vital.

              Methodology
              On one-on-one interview with Acting Committee President, Ralph Rogers provided detailed
              background, aspirations, and ambitions to deliver a more sustainable, equitable Noosa with
              practical solutions to bridge infrastructure and service gaps through a range of initiatives
              including private/public partnerships. A survey including a series of ‘homework questions’ for
              the Chamber of Commerce Committee was used to establish context and identify
              opportunities, barriers and key issues prior to strategic team workshop session. (See
              Appendix 1)
              The interactive session included exercises and group discussion on the following:
                  e  Vision & goals — what's in/what’s out
                  e  Objectives & core business
                  e  Stakeholder mapping & key target markets — where does Chamber ‘fit’
                  e  SWOT
                  e   Roadmap for the future:
                      e  Identity & positioning — point of difference from other groups
                      e  Engagement & networking
                      e  Reporting and governance
                      e  Practical priorities, outcomes, funding & resources

                                                                                                       3

                                                                                                 Page 18 of 96

          Visioning the end goal

          From the workshop session, participants were asked to vision the desired goal for the Noosa
          Chamber — the below diagram represents the collective desired goal:

          definitions, core roles & motivations...

          It was important to the group that the role and importance of
          other local chambers and business associations be
          acknowledged in the strategy, along with key stakeholders. A
          ‘one voice’ approach to a sustainable Noosa business climate is
          an inclusive and collaborative journey, and is more about agreed
          values, directions & aspirations than who is doing the talking.

PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                10 MAY 2022

              Our environment

              Current trends

              Local market

              In 2020 Noosa Council's economic profile listed just under half (25,302) of Noosa Shire’s
              56,587 residents as employed, with 24,286 of those jobs considered local. The ongoing
              fallout from the Covid pandemic could see these figures fluctuate.
              According to the Noosa Council website the Noosa economy reflects many national trends
              such as an ageing population and growth in the health care and social services,
              professional, scientific, and technical services. Noosa’s economy relies significantly on the
              tourism, retail and construction sectors and is home to approximately 7,263 mainly small and
              micro businesses. A more diversified industry base, geared more towards knowledge-based
              sectors such as healthcare and wellness, digital economy, environmental industries, rural
              enterprise, creative industries, and professional services, are recognised by Council as
              priority industry sectors of competitive advantage that will support economic growth and
              provide employment opportunities.
              The LEP indicates a desire by Council to strive to a more diversified economy and identifies
              effective land use planning; enterprise support; essential infrastructure; skilled and
              connected businesses and implementation; and monitoring and reporting as key themes to
              achieve diversification. A range of very successful entrepreneurs and skilled businesspeople
              also call Noosa home. Attracting and retaining people with the skills and talent to deliver to
              these goals along with creating and sustaining collaborative alliances and networks is
              integral to success.
              According to Noosa Council’s Economic Profile and Economic Development Plan to inform
              and assist business and industry decision making:
              e  Noosa has an ageing population. In 2011 the median age for the Shire was 46 years
                 compared to 38 and 36 years in South-East Queensland and the State respectively.
              e  Three of the top five employment sectors focus primarily on providing for residents, and
                 tourism driven industries. They are retail, accommodation & foods services, and
                 construction. The retail and accommodation and food services sectors also offer the
                 lowest wages, and this, combined with high proportion of part-time work in the region,
                 sees Noosa Shire report a median household income below that of the SEQ Region and
                 the State.
              e  Noosa Shire has an unemployment rate of 7.3% (prior to Covid) and significant
                 underemployment, particularly among youth (cited in 2015 by Sandy Bolton as
                 potentially as high at 49%) and lower than average household income.
              e  Noosa Shire Council's Gross Regional Product is estimated at $3.00 billion in the 2020
                 economic profile which represents 0.8% of the state's GSP (Gross State Product). Prior
                 to Covid, this was growing at a rate of around 2.5% per annum (LEP) up from around
                 $2.6 billion in 2013-14.

              The Chamber's role - transitioning to a, diversified, innovative future

              For Noosa to realise economic diversification and sustainable growth in knowledge-based
              industries — innovation, change and investment is needed. A unified, collaborative approach
              will be needed to encourage and enable new sector investment in Noosa.

                                                                                                     9

                                                                                              Page 24 of 96

PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                 10 MAY 2022

              In 2020, Daily Mail Australia cited University of Newcastle's Centre of Full Employment and
              Equity’s identification of Noosa as particularly vulnerable to economic downturn - ‘Noosa, an
              exclusive resort town north of Brisbane, was listed as a 'red alert - high risk’ area for
              employment vulnerability - even more so than other parts of the Sunshine Coast.
              The Noosa Chamber of Commerce and Industry has a key role to work in partnership with
              Council, industry and business groups, businesses, and other key stakeholders to drive,
              support and advocate for economic diversification through a collaborative, unified approach
              towards attraction and retention of key talent, businesses and institutions, training, capacity,
              and skills development along with evidence based data to inform and support policies and
              practices from all levels of government and industry. Council’s LEP cites the importance of
              business assistance and that it has never been higher. The Chamber with its network and
              real-time business skill set could play a valuable role as a conduit between Council,
              Government and business by distilling information so it is easy to understand, practical and
              accessible. According to the Regional Australia Institute, across regional Australia there is
              an emergence of start-ups, business accelerators, co-working spaces, and entrepreneurial
              hot spots. Much of this activity is occurring in areas less connected to traditional R&D
              institutions. A university or other R&D presence remains a real innovation asset for any
              community, but a modern economy it is the ecosystem around that capability — the region’s
              entrepreneurs, business start-ups and the strength of their connections to the R&D presence
              — that will drive the economic outcomes from innovation.

              The below diagram shows how Noosa, and the Sunshine Coast are ranked on the updated
              Insight Innovation index which enables Australian communities to benchmark their
              innovation performance on eight foundations of innovation.

                Pillar 1: Get the Foundations Right - sustainable resources
                A need for a more cohesive, inclusive, credible, and action-based Chamber of Commerce,
                capable of uniting, representing, and advocating on behalf of Noosa business is the key
                motivation for a sustainable operating structure. If the Chamber can build on its foundation of
                new Committee experience, networks, and commitment to a fresh start, through an agreed
                strategic action plan, it will have the basis to attract funding for human resources and an
                operating budget to deliver member value. The priority is to develop a sustainably resourced
                operating structure for the Chamber, beyond volunteers, to deliver the actions and maximise
                the return on investment and flow on benefits to members.

                Pillar 4: Building the brand - sharing our story
                To grow awareness, engagement, share of voice and to realise strategic goals, Noosa
                Chamber of Commerce & Industry needs to further develop its brand through storytelling,
                consistent messaging, and quality content (images, video, film), increasing its targeted
                marketing and promotions, particularly on digital and social media. This can be achieved by
                understanding and engaging members and businesses and featuring visual examples of
                industry, stakeholder and community collaboration with industry, stakeholders, and the
                community. Focus should be on effective and inspiring communication of our story - the
                programs, projects, events, and resources available that deliver value and support for
                members and businesses.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposal seeks to amend the approved plans and a condition of the existing Shire Business
Centre approval to allow for an existing 82m2 tenancy within the Business precinct to be included
within the Retail Precinct. It is intended that the tenancy be used for the purpose of a food and
drink outlet (fast food premises). It is recommended that the application be supported on the basis
that it is generally consistent with MP2 which was current at the time when the application was
approved and with the Noosa Plan 2020 subject to conditions which retain the tenancy within the
Business Precinct but permit its use as a Fast Food premises.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment Committee
Meeting dated 10 May 2022 regarding 132002.220285.E to make a minor change to an existing
approval for Shire Business Centre situated at Noosa Civic 28 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville and:

REPORT
PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks approval to change the existing development approval for Noosa Civic to
increase the amount of Total Use Area (TUA) of the Retail Centre from 18,000m2 to 18,082m2.
This is to be achieved by removing an 82m2 tenancy currently located within the Commercial
Precinct and including the tenancy within the Retail Precinct. The purpose of the change is to
facilitate a fast-food outlet within a previously designated Business Precinct tenancy.
The existing approval includes approved plans, which identify the approved precincts and related
TUA’s which is reflected in a condition of the development approval, with each precinct permitted
to include a range of uses. The application seeks to amend the plans and the condition. The
amendment to the condition specifically relates to the total amount of allowable TUA.
The condition currently reads as follows:
Scale and Types of Uses

5.1   The shop floor space for the Retail Centre shall not exceed 18,082m², TUA. The uses
      nominated on the approved plans shall generally accord with the following TUA’s:

          Mini-Major (Shop)         1,200m²

          Public Toilets     150m²
          Service Station 100m²
The applicant maintains that the application should be supported based on the following grounds:
1.    The minor change does not impact on the function of Noosa Business Centre
           The allocation of tenancy BB03 to be included within the Retail Precinct ensures the
            uses required for the Commercial and Business Precinct are maintained.
           The small amount of GFA proposed represents just 0.4% increase (at 82sqm) and no
            change to Business Precinct allowable TUA or uses.
2.    The minor change does not impact on the function of the Precincts

                                                                                    Page 37 of 96

Section 38

PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                      10 MAY 2022


          The Business Precinct will continue to offer business and commercial office space in
           accordance with the approval (existing built form already meets the maximum GFA
           when removing the subject tenancy).
          There is no impact on the locality as the tenancy adjoins the Retail precinct
           (Woolworths) and adjoins the Woolworths click and collect space in the Commercial
           and Business Precinct. The tenancy is located on a road frontage and traffic will not be
           impeded nor will adjoining commercial developments operating needs.
          Further, it is noted that the Retail Precinct already accommodates office and
           commercial uses (Bank, Australia Post) further advancing the role of the Noosa
           Business Centre as an employment precinct.
3.   More broadly, NBC is undergoing significant transformation including:
          Significant amount of commercial space is proposed in the extension of Noosa
           Business Centre (Village Mixed Use and Innovation Precinct) that will further the overall
           strategic intention of this major centre.
          The existing vacancy rates in the retail premises is approximately 1% and this proposal
           cannot be accommodated elsewhere within the Retail Precinct (which already
           accommodated some office and commercial uses). In comparison, the business
           precinct has high vacancy of 14.5% demonstrating need.
Under the Noosa Plan 2020, the Major Centre Zone Code, the proposed Minor Change complies
with the applicable provisions through:
    Retail Precinct has an Acceptable Outcome of 24,500m2 GFA (shops, shopping centre,
     service industry and food and drink outlets). The existing approval has TUA capped at
     18,000sqm. The existing centre is therefore below what is presently envisaged for the site.
     In this respect, the additional GFA proposed for fast food premises is insignificant.
    The Business Park Precinct seeks to provide for integrated commercial and professional
     uses, with food and drink outlets only when ancillary to and associated with bonafide office
     use on site and limited in scale and size. If this tenancy remains in the Business Precinct
     (instead of proposed annexing to the Retail Precinct), the use of the tenancy for food and
     drink premises of 82m2 represents just 1.64% of the total GFA of the Business Precinct cap
     of 5,000m2. The proposal is limited in scale and size and will not impact on the function of
     the Business Park Precinct.
    The annexing of tenancy BB03 will not compromise the Business Park overall outcomes to
     facilitate commercial office space for business and professional services due to:
          There is sufficient premises within the business park precinct to facilitate new and
           future business and commercial office space (refer to vacancy rates above).
          It is a small proportion overall of both the Business Precinct and Retail Precinct.
          The location is at the edge of the Business Park Precinct, adjoining the Retail Precinct
           with no impact on traffic movement or loss of access / frontage to existing premises.
The locality and proposal plan are included below.

BACKGROUND
On 1 May 2003, Noosa Shire Council issued a Decision Notice for a Development Permit for a
Material Change of Use for Shire Business Centre – Stage 1 at 28 Eenie Creek Road, Noosaville,
also described as Lot 3 on SP246584.
The original approval includes a range of uses over the site. This application was subject to Impact
Assessment and required referral to the Department of Main Roads and the Department of Natural
Resources and Mines as advice agencies, and the Environmental Protection Agency (devolved to
Noosa Council) as a concurrence agency.
Since the completion of the development, several development approvals including change
applications and “generally in accordance” requests have been endorsed by Council.
ASSESSMENT
1.1   Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
Under the Planning Act 2016 the application must be assessed against each of the following
statutory planning instruments to the extent they are relevant to the development:
     State Planning Policy;
     South East Queensland Regional Plan;
     Planning Regulation 2017;
     The Noosa Plan.
9.1   Statutory Process
The applicant has requested to make a minor change to a development approval under s78 of the
Planning Act 2016. An application for a minor change to a development approval can only be made
in circumstances where a change would constitute a ‘minor change’.
The proposed change to the development approval requested by the applicant is determined to
constitute a minor change on the grounds that:
      the development would not result in substantially different development as the form of the
       development remains unchanged and the proposal does not introduce a new use;
      the change does not include prohibited development;
      the change would not require the application to be referred to an additional referral agency
       or cause a referral agency to have regard to new matters prescribed by regulation;
      where the original application was code assessable, the change would not cause the
       application to become impact assessable.
9.2   Statutory Instruments – Planning Scheme
When the application was originally approved it was assessed against the provisions of the 1985
planning scheme, which included the 1997 Strategic Plan.
An objective of the 1997 Strategic Plan was for a master plan to be prepared to guide the overall
development process of the Shire Business Centre
On 24 May 2001, Council endorsed the document Shire Business Centre Master Plan: Stage 1
Concepts (MP1). MP1 provided a concept plan defining precincts for business, employment, open
space, recreation and residential uses as well as the concepts for dealing with traffic both internally
and externally to the site. The concepts contained in MP1 were consistent with the 1997 Strategic
Plan which permitted 15,000m2 of retail floor space within the Shire Business Centre.
Council then adopted MP2 on 10 April 2003 and it was considered a more refined level of planning
from MP1 and increased the total area of retail to 18,300m2.
Section 3.3 of MP2 states:
Section 19.3.1.2 of the Strategic Plan nominates retail development outcomes for the site of
     Retail shops of the order of 15,000m2 of floor space with a discount department store to be
      in the first stage
      o     Homemaker and showrooms of the order of 10,000m2

                                                                                       Page 40 of 96

Council engaged Urban Economics in 1999/2000 to conduct independent investigations on the
economic impacts of a development proposal by. Conclusions from those investigations were-
    An 18,300m2 sub-regional shopping centre has market support for an opening by 2004.
    The impact of the sub-regional centre can be contained within manageable levels provided
     the future expansion of the retail network is contained. It is expected the sub-regional centre
     will create an impact upon the retail network [that] falls just short of being significant. During
     2004 it can be expected there will be some closures and relocations to the Shire Business
     Centre. It is expected that all existing retail nodes will continue to perform at their designated
     function in the retail network.
    The Premium Outlet Centre as proposed in the earlier Montbar application, would compete
     strongly with Hastings Street retailers, which target tourists, offering mainly premium brands
     at low prices. The impact [of the proposed Premium Outlet Centre] upon the Hastings Street
     retail node is likely to be significant in both dollar values and its ultimate composition.
From the above conclusions and in consequence of the Montbar application, the following
revised development parameters are concluded as acceptable outcomes for the site -
    Retail shops of the order of 18,300m2 of floor space with a discount department store
     to be in the first stage
    Homemaker and showrooms of the order of 7,000m2 floor space
    No Premium Outlet Centre or other significant retail development.
The allowance of 18,300m2 of Retail Business gross floor area was subsequently incorporated
within the Noosa Plan 2006. The 18,300m2 allowance relates to Precinct B1. The proposed
tenancy is located within Precinct B3. The following Figure 3 details the Shire Business Centre
precinct map that was included in the Noosa Plan 2006.

PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                         10 MAY 2022


Whilst the proposal increases the extent of retail space further above the 15,000m2 permitted under
the 1997 Strategic Plan it is noted that the approval currently allows for 18,000m 2 of floor space
with the additional 82m2 as requested by the applicant remaining less than the 18,300m2 supported
under MP2. The proposal therefore generally aligns with the strategic intent for the Shire Business
Centre in regard to the extent of retail floor space that was relevant at the time when the original
decision was made.
Under the Noosa Plan 2020 the site is included in a Business Park precinct and the proposed fast
food premises is defined as a food and drink outlet which is identified as a consistent use in the
precinct, subject to an impact assessable application.
The Noosa Plan 2020 includes a provision within the Major Centre Zone Code specific to the
Business Park Precinct regarding the permitted extent of Food and Drink Outlet. This is detailed
below:




The Noosa Plan 2020 is supportive of the establishment of Food and Drink Outlets within the
Business Park Precinct on the basis that they have a limited floor area. As detailed above, the
current proposal represents 1.64% of the approved 5,000m2 of commercial and business floor area
and is located amongst existing office and commercial activities. Therefore, while a reduction is
not desirable to the approved office space, and there is no need for a food and drink outlet in this
location, given its proximity to the shopping centre, the proposal is consistent with the AO69.
However, it is recommended that instead of approving an amended plan set and amending
condition 5.1 as proposed by the applicant it is more suitable to amend condition 5.4 only, with the
amendment allowing the subject tenancy to be used as a Fast Food Premises. This will ensure the
tenancy is not used in the future for retail shops whilst still enabling the tenancy to be used for the
commercial and business activities as intended by the original approval.
It is recommended that the amended condition read as follows:
5.4. The commercial and business floor space for the Commercial and Business component
     shall not exceed 5,000m2 TUA. The uses allowed within the Commercial and Business
     component are:
           Commercial Premises
           Commercial Services
           Medical Centre
           Professional Offices
           Warehouse
           Educational Establishment, and
           Special Purposes
      5.4(a) 82m2 of tenancy BB-03 (as detailed on the Site Plan Q0201.01.1b/U/0222MC) may
               only be used as Fast Food Premises
The changes as proposed by the applicant are supported on the basis that they are consistent with
the planning scheme applicable when the original approval was granted and the current Noosa
Plan 2020.

CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The proposal seeks to amend the approved plans and a condition of the existing Shire Business
Centre approval to allow for an existing 82m2 tenancy within the Business and Commercial precinct
to be included within the Retail Precinct. It is intended that the tenancy be used for the purpose of
a food and drink outlet. The minor change is generally consistent with the MP2, which was in place
at the time when the application was originally approved, and the Noosa Plan 2020. It is
recommended that a condition of the approval, which regulates the use of the commercial and
business component be amended to allow for the subject tenancy to be used for a fast-food
premises. Accordingly, it is recommended that the application be approved.

Attachments      1.    Decisions issued under Delegated Authority


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report includes a summary of development applications decided under delegation by officers for
March 2022. For the month of March 2022 there were 42 applications decided including a range of
Material Change of Use, Reconfiguring a Lot, Operational Works, Building Works and applications for
which Council is a referral agency.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Development Assessment Manager to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 10 May 2022, regarding planning applications that have been decided by
delegated authority.


REPORT
The Local Government Act 2009 allows, by resolution, a local government to delegate its powers to the
Mayor, CEO, a standing committee or a joint standing committee and the CEO to delegate those powers
to another employee of Council.
Under the current delegations for the Planning Act 2016 the ability to manage, assess and decide a
range of development applications are delegated to officers with the exception of the following which
are reported to Council for a decision:
a)   an application for a variation request mentioned in section 61 of the Planning Act 2016 to vary the
     effect of the planning scheme;
b)   the approval of an application where there is substantial non-compliance with a stated policy of
     the Council or a high order provision of the Planning Scheme being a desired environmental
     outcome, or an overall outcome of a code;
c)   the refusal of any application where Council is the assessment manager;
d)   requests for change representations, and change applications to change or delete conditions that
     were imposed by Council at an Ordinary Meeting or a Special Meeting;
e)   and an application for a proposed development of significant community interest.
It should be noted though that due to the strict time frames of the Planning Act 2016, officers under the
current delegations have the ability to decide an application where the application has the potential for
'deemed approval'.
In accordance with the current delegations, a wide range of development applications are decided by
Council officers each month, with a limited number of applications reported to Council for a decision.
Attachment 1 lists applications that are decided by delegated authority during the month of March 2022
(excluding applications seeking to remove a tree(s) adjacent to a building or structure).

5    NOOSA THREATENED FAUNA SPECIES RECOVERY ROAD MAP

Author           Fauna Management Project Officer, David O’Gorman
                 Environment & Sustainable Development Department

Index            ECM/Fauna/Wildlife 21.08

Attachments      1.    DRAFT Noosa Threatened Fauna Species Recovery Road Map (also
                       provided as a separate attachment)


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Noosa Environment Strategy (NES) was developed in 2019. In relation to long-term survival of
threatened and protected fauna, the NES details Council’s commitment to significant implementation
actions for the first three (3) years of the Strategy (19/20 to 21/22). Hence, the objective of this Road
Map is to guide Council’s approach (and funding) to the on-going management of regionally threatened
fauna.
The NES identifies specific targets for each of Council’s environmental strategies. The primary focus of
Strategy 1.3 is to, ‘Ensure populations of key threatened indicator species remain viable’. For net
improvement of regional biodiversity values, an integrated approach in threatened species conservation
is required to support other related Council environment strategies, across a diverse range of key
habitats. This will be achieved through the provision of clear strategies and key performance indicators,
via the pathway described within the DRAFT Noosa Threatened Fauna Species Recovery Road Map
(see Attachment 1).
A list of nine (9) species of conservation significance (the Noosa Nine) has been drafted for detailed
consideration under the NES:
    Giant barred frog
    Glossy black cockatoo
    Grey-headed flying fox
    Koala
    Loggerhead turtle
    Mary River cod
    Water mouse
    Richmond birdwing butterfly
    Wallum sedge frog

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Fauna Management Project Officer to the Planning & Environment
Committee Meeting dated 10 May 2022 regarding the Draft Fauna Threatened Species Road Map
developed by the Fauna Management Project Officer and note that
A.   The Road Map will be subject to an ongoing consultation program prior to finalisation;
B.   Deliverables of the Road Map will be subject to future funding requests under Council’s
     commitment to ‘significant implementation’ of the Noosa Environment Strategy by 2023.


REPORT
To deliver Council’s commitments under Strategy 1.3 of the Noosa Environment Strategy, the DRAFT

Previous Council Consideration
Nil.
Finance
As of 23 March 2022, Council appointed a Fauna Management Project Officer to develop a Draft
Threatened Fauna Recovery Road Map, along with a Regional Flying-fox Statement of Management
Intent. A submission for ongoing funding has been submitted for the 22/23 FY.
Risks & Opportunities
With the appropriate scientific justification, planning and consultation mechanisms now in place, Council
is in a timely position to deliver the following organisational commitments under Section 1.3 of the Noosa
Environment Strategy;
1)     ‘Significant implementation actions for the first 3 years’
2)     ‘Ensure populations of key threatened indicator species remain viable’
Failure to meet these commitments would likely jeopardise the future viability of threatened species
within Noosa Shire.
Consultation
External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder
Noosa Shire Council is pro-actively invested in threatened fauna conservation, and works closely with
community groups, landholders and other agencies to ensure the protection and enhancement of
regional biodiversity values. Council also has existing monitoring and management strategies in place
for regionally iconic species, including koalas. Table One details Council’s active threatened species
conservation programs, along with the involvement of key stakeholders, who will be instrumental in the
development and implementation of future threatened species management strategies.

It is intended to undertake a consultation program with external stakeholders, including key
conservation groups to review the content of this DRAFT Road Map. A consultation plan will be
developed in accordance with Council’s templates and distributed internally for further review.
Further detail on the community and stakeholder consultation pathway is presented within Attachment
1.
Internal Consultation
The Noosa Threatened Fauna Species Recovery Road Map has undergone an internal consultation
and review process by suitably qualified Noosa Environmental Services staff members. Expert review
and consultation will be undertaken prior to delivery of the final document.

             1.       Introduction

            Noosa Shire is located within the Southeast Queensland bioregion, an area of exceptionally high biodiversity that
            supports a diverse range of ecosystems. It is this ecosystem diversity that results in a significantly high proportion
            of regional threatened species and ecological communities. To ensure the future protection and enhancement of
            existing biodiversity values, The Noosa Environment Strategy (NES} was developed in 2019. In relation to long-
            term survival of threatened and protected fauna, the VES details Council's commitment to significant
            implementation actions for the first three (3) years of the Strategy (19/20 to 21/22). Hence, the objective of this
            Road Map is to guide Council’s approach (and funding) to the on-going management of regionally threatened
            fauna.

            The NES identifies specific targets for each of Council’s environmental strategies. The primary focus of Strategy
             1.3 is to, ‘Ensure populations of key threatened indicator species remain viable’ (see Figure 1).

            Figure 1: Strategy 1.3 of the Noosa Environment Strategy (2019)

                   Theme 1 - Biodiversity                                                                             tw
              Strategy 1.3: Improve long-term survival for threatened species and ecological communities

                                            PI                 og            A longitudinal study of key threatened species will be
                                       -  Representativeness across ecosystems undertaken over 10 years
                                       =  Iconic value to the Noosa cornmunity
                                       *  Availability of existing data and records
                                       Depending on the species selected, there
                                       may already be existing data, however a new
                                       baseline for some species will be required.

            For net improvement of regional biodiversity values, an integrated approach in threatened species conservation is
            required to support other related Council environment strategies, across a diverse range of key habitats. This will
            be achieved through the provision of clear strategies and key performance indicators, via the pathway described
            in this document;

                 1)  Review of Council’s previous and current actions and strategies in threatened species conservation
                 2)  Identification of stakeholder involvement in threatened species conservation
                 3)  Desktop review of Council’s supporting biodiversity assessment reports and applicable resources
                 4)  The identification of regional habitats, ecological communities and fauna of conservation significance
                 5)  Identification of regional threating processes to fauna, habitats and ecosystem processes.
                 6)  A comprehensive analysis of threatened species susceptibility to regional threating processes
                 7)  The nomination of key threatened fauna species for management priority
                 8)  Clear processes and actions required to deliver threatened fauna recovery programs
                 9} The supply of a detailed anticipated delivery schedule and budget to achieve the deliverables of Strategy
                     1.3 of the NES.

            2.       Background
            2,1      Prior works - the Noosa Nine

            Previous works undertaken in 2017 (prior to the development of the NES), nominated nine (9) key and iconic
            threatened fauna species (known as the Noosa Nine) for management priority. Moving forward, this Road Map
            formalises the decision process, scientifically justifies, and prioritises (through a comprehensive decision matrix),
            a list of key threatened fauna species which satisfy section 1.3 of the NES.

            Given Council has already marketed the Noosa Nine to the community and some stakeholders, warrants a revamp
            of the program. Hence, a total of nine (9) key threatened fauna species for management priorities will be
            nominated under the NES.

            2.2      Supporting desktop assessments
            Council developed the NES in 2019, to prioritise investment and deliver an integrated approach to managing
            Noosa's environment over a ten-year period. In response, two (2) key shire wide biodiversity assessments were
            commissioned to support the development and implementation of the Strategy;

               *®  The Noosa Biodiversity Assessment Report 2019 (Eco Logical 2016)
               e   The Noosa Shire Priority Species Assessment 2019 (Noosa & District Landcare 2019)

            2.3     Active threatened species conservation and stakeholder involvement
            Noosa Shire Council is pro-actively invested in threatened fauna conservation, and works closely with community
            groups, landholders and other agencies to ensure the protection and enhancement of regional biodiversity
            values. Council also has existing monitoring and management strategies in place for regionally iconic species,
            including koalas. Table One details Council's active threatened species conservation programs, along with the
            involvement of key stakeholders, who will be instrumental in the development and implementation of future
            threatened species management strategies.

            3.2      Findings
            Noosa Shire is located within the south-east Queensland Bioregion, an area of exceptionally high biodiversity,
            lying in the zone where tropical and temperate land zones overlap. This provides for a set of conditions that
            support a great variety of plants and animals. Noosa has a large variety of all three levels of biodiversity, at the
            genetic, species and ecosystem level. These are supported by a wide range of ecosystem types, including
            rainforests, beaches, woodlands, wetlands, lakes, rivers, forests, Mountains and marine areas.
            3.2.1    Regional habitats
            From the evaluation of supporting information, seven (7) key Noosa Regional habitat types were identified from a
            total of sixty-four regional ecosystems;

                *  Rainforests and Scrubs
                e  Eucalypt forests and woodlands
                *® Ecotones and combined habitats
                e  Freshwater waterways, wetlands and riparian zones
                *® Heaths and other coastal communities
                ®  Mangroves and Saltmarsh
                *  Coastal and Marine

            Actions Required under the Road Map
            To achieve an integrated approach, key threatened species to be considered as management priorities should
            proportionally represent each of the regional key habitat types (listed above).

            3.2.2    Regional threatened ecological communities
            The Noosa Shire contains four (4) threatened ecological communities that are recognised and protected under
            the Commonwealth legislation (EPBC 1999);

                *  Critically Endangered Lowland Rainforest of Subtropical Australia (“Lowland rainforest”)
                e  Vulnerable Subtropical and Temperate Salt Marsh (“Saltmarsh”)
                e  Endangered Coastal Swamp Oak (Casuarina glauca) Forest
                *  Coastal Swamp Sclerophyll Forests (conservation advice soon to be listed)

            Actions Required under the Road Map
            To support other Council environment strategies, the nomination of key threatened species for management
            priorities should prioritise (where justified) fauna species that utilise threatened ecological communities.

            3.2.3.   Regional fauna of conservation significance
            Through the comprehensive desktop review process, a total of thirty-four (34) regional conservation significant
            species were identified from the available resources. That is, regional species that are currently listed of
            conservation significance (least concern to critically endangered) under either the NCA and or EPBC Acts. Table 2
            identifies the regional fauna species of conservation significance shortlisted for management priority under the
            NES.

     Exclusions
     The primary focus of Strategy 1.3 of the NES is to, ‘Ensure populations of key threatened indicator species remain
     viable’. Species that fell under the following categories were excluded from Table 5 (not shortlisted), as the
     following species attributes do not satisfy the general requirements for an indicator species.

         0   Migratory species with no regionally confirmed breeding activity
             Migratory Species (such as some shorebirds) which seasonally occur but do not breed within the Noosa
             Region, are not suitable indicator species for ecosystem health changes. This is because their regional
             presence may be a result of external impacts when the species is located outside of the Region.

                   Species which have limited, or no recent recordings within the Noosa LGA (such as the Spotted-tail quoll)
                   are not suitable indicator species. This is due to the inability to develop useful baseline population data
                   monitoring data and indicative longitudinal studies as a measure of species and habitat recovery.

            3.2.4    Regional threating processes
            From the desktop review of supporting information, the following threats to biodiversity values (and fauna)
            within the Noosa Shire Region were identified;

                *  Climate change impacts (temperature, sea level, fire and weather events)
                e  Planning and development (vegetation clearing and fragmentation)
                   Inappropriate fire regimes (prescribed burning)
                e  Unsustainable and use practices and water management
                e  Invasive species (predation, competition, habitat degradation)
                *  Disease (species specific)
                *  Human / wildlife interactions and conflicts (vehicle strike, domestic animal predation, human conflict)
                *  Marine impacts (water quality, debris, boat strike, by-catch)
                e  Recreational impacts (increasing use of natural areas, four-wheel driving, boating and fishing etc.)

            3.3.     Summary of findings
            The desktop review of supporting information (Section 3) identified the below findings relevant to the planning,
            development and implementation of threatened fauna conservation within the Noosa Region;

                »  Seven (7) key regional habitat types were identified
                >  Four (4) regional threatened ecological communities were identified
                >  Thirty-four (34) fauna species of either state or Commonwealth conservation significance were shortlisted
                >  Nine (9) regional threating processes were nominated as key criteria to determine species success.

            4.3     Analysis
            The thirty-four regional fauna species of conservation significance were scientifically scored and ranked against
            the selection criteria. This was undertaken through reference to the supporting information identifies in Section
            3, particularly the DES ‘Threatened Species Back on Track Status’ resource. Where information was absent or
            required interpolation (in the application of some selection criteria), evaluation was carried out by a suitably
            qualified person (Noosa Council Fauna Project Officer). Furthermore, the Decision Matrix (and this Road Map) has
            undergone and internal review process by suitably qualified Noosa Environmental Services staff members. Expert
            review is recommended prior to delivery of the final document.

            External Review
            It is intended to undertake a consultation program with external stakeholders, including key conservation groups
            to review the content of this Draft Road Map. A consultation plan will be developed in accordance with Council’s
            templates and distributed internally for further review (see Section 6, Delivery).

            Please refer to Attachment One for the Decision Matrix used to nominate the Noosa Nine.

            4.4      Species representation across habitats
            To deliveran integrated approach, the distribution of the Noosa Nine (were justifiable) should proportionally
            represent each of the region’s seven key habitat types. Attachment One (Decision Matrix) identifies species
            primary use of each of the key habitat types. Table 3 summarises this breakdown, and then indicates an optimum
            spread of the Noosa Nine across the seven key habitats. Given the range of some species cross between habitats,
            it is preferable to select two species from ‘Ecotones and combined habitats’ to ensure overall representation and
            conservation of regional biodiversity values.

            5.1      The Noosa Nine

            Under the identified selection criteria, the Decision Matrix scored the following species (in alphabetical order) as
            most suitable to deliver Strategy 1.3 of the NES;

                       >   Giant barred frog
                       >   Glossy-black cockatoo
                       >   Grey-headed flying fox
                       >   Koala
                       >   Loggerhead turtle
                       >   Mary River cod
                       >   Water mouse
                       >   Richmond birdwing butterfly
                       >   Wallam sedge frog

            5.2      Management priorities
            The more threatened a species is, the higher susceptibility it may be to regional or national extinction. Therefore,
            it is appropriate and justifiable to prioritise resources to these more vulnerable species. For some species (koalas),
            Council already has active monitoring and management programs in place. However, this should not impact species
            prioritisation over the ten-year life of the NES (see Section 6 - Delivery). In relation to conservation advice, Table 5
            proposes the temporal prioritisation for threatened fauna conservation for the remainder of the NES (to 2029).

            6.       Delivery
            This Road Map now places Council in a position where the appropriate scientific justification, planning and
            consultation mechanisms are in place to implement Strategy 1.3 of the NES. Council's foremost organisational
            commitments to Strategy 1.3 are;

                >   ‘Significant implementation actions for the first 3 years’
                >  ‘Ensure populations of key threatened indicator species remain viable’

            6.1      Threatened species recovery and conservation strategies
            6.1.1    Case Study — Noosa Council Koala Conservation Plan
            As an example, Noosa Council has been pro-active in ensuring regional populations koalas remain viable into the
            future through the development and implementation of the Noosa Shire Koala Conservation Plan 2016. The
            twenty-seven point action plan works together with community and various stakeholders to ensure that koalas
            remain an essential component of Noosa’s biodiversity.

            6.1.2    Approach - species recovery and conservation plans
            The development of species recovery and conservation plans are a scientifically accepted, and widely adopted
            method to implement threatened species conservation (DES 2021). As well as habitat conservation at the broad
            landscape level, some species will also require interventions at the site level to address threating processes (e.g.
            climate change). Threatened species recovery and conservation plans will be developed and implemented for the
            Noosa Nine.

            6.2      Development and implementation
            Typical elements within a species recovery and conservation plan include;

                >  Review of species biology, ecology, and distribution
                >» Consolidation of available population baseline monitoring data
                »  Identification of key habitat requirements of the species
                »  Identify the current and future threating processes likely to impact species viability
                >  Review of previous and current management strategies
                »  Consultation with relevant stakeholders (external agencies and community groups)
                       o   {tis intended to undertake a consultation program with external stakeholders, including key
                           conservation groups. Consultation plans will be developed in accordance with Council’s templates
                           and distributed internally for review.
                >  The identification of any social or economic considerations
                >» Joint development and implementation of monitoring programs and management actions
                >  Development and measurement of key performance indicators (longitudinal monitoring programs).
                >  The periodic review (and potential improvement) of the recovery and conservation plan.

            6.3      Periodic review

            Threatened species recovery and conservation plans must be periodically reviewed to ensure their effectiveness
            under changing funding opportunities, evolving threats, and as new population data becomes available. Review
            may also be required when longitudinal studies indicate notable changes in a species population or distribution.

            Pre-determine key performance indicators (KPIs) will be used annually to evaluate species and habitat recovery
            progress, and to identify when management or monitoring actions need to be reviewed. Metrics used will be
            species specific, however examples of KPIs that will be used for the Noosa Nine will likely include are;
               *   Annual (census) population trends
               e   Breeding effort and success
               e   Habitat and ecosystem condition
               *   Type and quantity of human / wildlife interactions
               e   Active community and stakeholder involvement
               *®  Longitudinal population and distribution monitoring data

            6.4     Anticipated delivery and resources
            A staged implementation approach is recommended to deliver Strategy 1.3, this will promote;
                >  Maximum outcomes for minimal investment
                >  Allow for any potential project risks to be identified and mitigated
                >  Opportunity for increased stakeholder involvement

            Provided below is an Anticipated Delivery Schedule and Budget, which identifies the key milestones and
            deliverables of the program. A budget estimate (per financial year) has been proposed to deliver Strategy 1.3 over
            the remaining seven years of the NES.

Environment Committee Meeting dated 10 May 2022 providing an update on the vegetation
assessment project.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
The Noosa Environment Strategy 2019 aims for no net loss of ecosystem values across the shire:
Strategy 1.1 Protect and enhance existing ecosystems, vegetation networks and habitats Target:
By 2030, there is no net loss of ecosystem values across the shire
Measurement: Every 5 years updated regional ecosystem mapping will be used to identify changes in
the number and extent of regional ecosystems.
Consistent with the Noosa Environment Strategy 2019, a vegetation assessment project was
undertaken to improve the accuracy and resolution of the shire’s vegetation mapping from a 1:50,000
scale to a 1:25,000 scale. This project will enable accurate measurement of progress towards the no
net loss target.
DEFINITIONS
Regional ecosystem: a three number code used to represent a vegetation community in a bioregion
that is consistently associated with a particular combination of geology, landform and soil.
Remnant vegetation: as defined by the Vegetation Management Act 1999 is vegetation that has not
been cleared, or vegetation that has been cleared and has regrown, and now possesses the
characteristics of the original vegetation community in terms of structure and composition. It is an
evolving concept that recognises the changing state and maturation of a vegetated area. Woody
vegetation is mapped as remnant where the dominant canopy has greater than 70% of the height and
greater than 50% of the cover relative to the undisturbed height and cover of that stratum and is
dominated by species characteristic of the vegetation's undisturbed canopy. Remnant vegetation can
be as young as 20 years old for heath, 30 years old for eucalypt forest and 40 years old for rainforest.
Old growth vegetation: forest that is ecologically mature where the effects of disturbance are
negligible. Old-growth forests are considered to have important environmental values because of their
intrinsic biological diversity, presence of large hollows, their aesthetic properties and their rarity. Trees
in old growth forests are over 100 years old.
                                                                                              Page 86 of 96

Rationale for project
Since its development in 1999, the Regional Ecosystem mapping system has been increasingly used
by both government and non-government stakeholders to describe and quantify changes to
biophysical environments and avoid or mitigate impacts to these environments. The smallest
mappable vegetation feature that can be delineated using the Regional Ecosystem maps (1:50,000
scale) is one hectare. In Noosa Shire, these maps are based on 1:100,000 surface geology mapping,
with the smallest mappable geological feature being 4 hectares.
Unavoidable discrepancies between mapped and actual vegetation communities have resulted from
the spatial resolution limitations of remotely-sensed data; omissions from the digital surface geology
layer; a heavy reliance on aerial imagery interpretation and insufficient ground-truthing. Accuracy
estimates suggest that the Regional Ecosystem maps are approximately 80% accurate. Whilst this
level of accuracy may be sufficient for state government purposes, it does not provide the accuracy
required at a local government level. Queensland Herbarium has stated that it does not have the
resources available to do fine-scale RE map updates for all shires in Queensland.
LiDAR (Light detection and ranging) was used in 2008-2009 to fine-tune the mapping of vegetation
cover across the Sunshine Coast to 1:25,000 and improve the accuracy of Council’s Biodiversity
Overlay. LiDAR is a remote sensing technique that accurately maps three-dimensional vegetation
structure (e.g. tree height), but it does not provide information on floristic composition or regional
ecosystems.
Council relies on regional ecosystem (RE) mapping in the following ways:
     Infrastructure development: RE maps inform Council’s Biodiversity Overlay which trigger
      environmental assessment and conditioning, and any associated requirements for impact
      avoidance and mitigation.
     Strategic planning: RE maps help us measure progress towards our Environment Strategy
      targets and guide area-based planning scheme reviews.
     Natural Resource Management: RE maps are used for conservation planning and for
      management of threatened species and habitats, wetlands, foreshores and reserves.
     Emergency and fire management: RE maps inform bushfire hazard mapping and emergency
      responses.
Because state environmental mapping products were not designed to be used at the scale at which
local Councils and their residents are relying on them, it has become incumbent upon local government
to invest in improving the accuracy of the mapping.
The information collected during this project will specifically inform the following:
     Review of Environment Strategy biodiversity targets;
     Noosa Plan Biodiversity Overlay Mapping for development assessment;
     Koala Habitat Mapping as a requirement of the SEQ Koala Conservation Strategy;
     Queensland Fire Hazard Mapping which is the basis of Council’s Bushland Reserve Fire
      Management Plan.
1.    Project methodology
The methodology for review of Noosa’s vegetation mapping is shown in Appendix 1.
The review of Council’s vegetation mapping products is ongoing. The project employs a full-time
project officer until 30 June 2022 and is funded from Cat D Bushfire Recovery Funding and the
environment levy.
Staff are exploring options to continue funding for the project under unexpended funds from the Cat D
Bushfire Recovery Funding.

2.   Project outcomes
It is anticipated that by the end of June 2022, 30% of the shire (approx. 30,000 hectares) will have
been groundtruthed and over 500 map updates completed. Refer to Figure 1 for the location of grids
surveyed.

A significant number of changes to the RE maps were made to rectify discrepancies between
mapped and groundtruthed soil, geology and vegetation associations from Noosa Heads to
Cootharaba. Significant areas of high value regrowth and foreshore regrowth have been added to
the RE maps, reflecting the evolving status of this vegetation. Some of this regrowth provides
important habitat linkages for Koala or food sources for Glossy Black Cockatoos. A number of narrow
alluvial corridors that support conservation-significant rainforest, wet sclerophyll and melaleuca
ecosystems have been delineated within areas previously mapped as Eucalypt forest. This has
resulted in a 30% increase in Endangered gallery rainforest (RE 12.3.1). These areas provide habitat
for threatened frogs as well as micro-habitat refugia for other fauna species during periods of
prolonged drought. Key changes to the RE maps are summarised in Figure 2.

Project outputs are summarised in Attachment 2. The extent and distribution of REs before and
after the fine-scale vegetation assessment work was done is shown in Attachments 3 and 4.
Whilst a large number of changes to the Biodiversity Overlay were made, the area covered by
these adjustments was relatively small, attesting to the accuracy of the overlay in terms of spatial
coverage. Overlay additions to include several small patches of poorly represented regional
ecosystems in the urban footprint (RE12.2.13) have been recommended and are under
consideration.
A review of Land for Wildlife property reports across the shire has identified that RE changes are
required on 58 properties. Map edits for these properties is ongoing.
A number of hollow bearing trees (50), Glossy black cockatoo feed trees (53) and koala scat
locations (4) were geo-located during field surveys for incorporation into Council databases. As a
result of this project, the location of 30 rare and threatened fauna and flora species has also been
added to Council databases and forwarded to the Queensland Government’s WildNET team for
incorporation into state databases.
The information collected during this project has been through the state’s rigorous quality and
reliability controls and will be incorporated into version 13 of the Regulated Vegetation
Management maps, to be released in 2023.
3.     Future Work
The following work is still outstanding:
     Whilst the project has focused on peri-urban areas that are most likely subject to development
      application and bushfire risk, ideally the work would recommence to complete the 70% balance
      of the shire.
     Given the inconsistent resolution across the shire with respect to geology and soil mapping,
      further soil surveys should be commissioned to cover the areas that are not covered by
      existing datasets i.e. the Soils and Land Resources of the Cootharaba Catchment (, Soil
      Landscapes of the Cooloola Noosa River Area (CSIRO); and the Land Resource Assessment
      - Curra to Imbil Lowlands (DES).
     Whilst national parks were not included in the project, some areas were surveyed to avoid
      having discontinuous alluvial corridors in proximity to urban centres. More comprehensive
      surveys of national parks are required.
     Some of the RE map revisions have implications for fire management and will need to be
      discussed with fire management officers from Council and QPWS. Bushfire hazard mapping
      will require updating.
     The small number of hollow bearing trees identified during field surveys and the relatively
      undeveloped structure of many vegetation communities indicates that despite having an
      incredible regeneration potential, much of Noosa’s vegetation is relatively youthful, probably
      in the 30-80 year old range. Remnant vegetation by definition includes ‘old growth’
      vegetation, however ‘old growth’ is more than remnant. Old growth vegetation possesses as
      yet unquantified diversity and resilience and should be prioritised for conservation. A locally-
      refined old growth vegetation layer could be developed for this purpose.
     Further detailed surveys of the previously unmapped subtropical rainforest polygons should
      be undertaken as part of a shire-wide assessment of threatened species and their habitat.
In addition it is noted that the data is fundamental to monitoring change as per the Noosa Council
Environment Strategy including:
     Regular monitoring of RE change
     No net loss of vegetation coverage target.
It is noted that Noosa Council is leading by example, and will join only two other shires in south
east Queensland that have 1:25,000 vegetation mapping. Gains in local accuracy of vegetation

mapping will not only lead to improved biodiversity outcomes but will also translate to increased
confidence in development assessment and planning decisions. Council has achieved efficient
outcomes through employment of an in house ecologist supported by internal staff in a model that
has proven to be cost effective when compared to using external consultants
