PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                              10 NOVEMBER 2020


14.   The Vegetation Management operational works application must detail the location and
      extent and staging of vegetation disturbance on Lot 9 SP252905 and Lot 6 RP901384 must
      be accurately marked on-site, including any setback requirements for bushfire mitigation
      purposes, for Council officers to inspect prior to commencement of any vegetation clearing.
Glossy Black Cockatoo feed trees
The footprint of the proposed building location has not significantly changed when compared with
the approved building, and therefore a cluster of active Glossy Black Cockatoo feed trees identified
for retention remains unchanged.
Bushfire
The site is mapped as High Potential Bushfire Intensity in the Noosa Plan 2006. The applicant has
previously provided an amended Bushfire report with the previous approved layout. The amended
report demonstrates that the proposed amended layout does not materially impact on the bushfire
setbacks required.
It is noted conditions 21 and 23 require the Bushfire Management Plan to be referred to
Queensland Fire and Rescue Service (QFRS) for endorsement. Referral to QFRAS was a
historical requirement however it cannot be achieved as QFRS no longer provide this review of
Bushfire Management Plans associated with development approval conditions. Accordingly it is
recommended to delete condition 21 and amend 23 to remove this requirement.
Stormwater Quality
The proposal includes an amended layout associated with stormwater treatment consisting of a
bio-basin and an infiltration basin. The proposed treatment methodology has been reviewed by
Council’s Environment Officer (water quality) who is satisfied that the proposal has demonstrated
that pollution reduction targets will be met by including the infiltration basin in the modelling.
The applicant has requested that condition 81 be amended so that the water quality performance
bond be required to be submitted to prior to the pre-start meeting for Stage 1, instead of prior to
any pre-start meeting.
Amending the condition is supported however it is recommended that the amended wording require
the bond paid prior to the issue of an Operational Works approval for Civil Infrastructure and
Stormwater for Stage 1, as this Operational Works approval relates to the location and works which
the bond seeks to secure performance for.
Conditions
The proposed changes to the plans result in consequential changes to a number of conditions.
These changes relate to the list of approved plans, details of the development, stormwater quality
and conditions which make specific reference to plans which have now been amended.
Amendments to infrastructure charges notice
The Infrastructure Charges Notice will require amendment to reflect the reduction in gross floor
area of the RAC and the change to the staging of the development.
4.    NOOSA PLAN 2020
The Noosa Plan 2020 zones the land Community Facilities, consistent with the zoning under the
superseded panning scheme, and designates the land for a Residential Care Facility. The
approved uses remain consistent with the intent of the new planning scheme.
The extent of the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay and Bushfire Hazard Overlay are
consistent with the corresponding mapping in the superseded scheme. Notably the car parking
rate for retirement facility component of the development has marginally reduced.
