The applicant is to undertake a water quality monitoring programme for the site.
Samples are to be taken from the two main discharge points into Lake Weyba, the
groundwater system of the sedgeland area in the-southern eastern corner of the site
and adjacent to the National Park boundary and analysed by an NATA registered
laboratory for:

“ge

* suspended solids ~ (acceptable level < 100 mg/l)
* organic nitrogen (acceptable level <0.8 mg/1)
* inorganic nitrogen (acceptable level <0.4 mg/1)
* total phosphorus (acceptable level <0.2 mg/1)
* faecal coliforms (acceptable level <400 organisms/100 ml)

Council may review the acceptable levels referred to above provided that it is
satisfied such variation still provides for a satisfactory quality of water discharge.

Single samples are to be taken prior to the commencement of construction works.
Further samples are to be taken at not greater than 3 monthly intervals both
throughout the construction period and thereafter during the operation of the
development unless Council approves of other arrangements. Results of the tests
are to be provided to the Noosa Council. Samples are not to be undertaken within
two days of significant rainfall events, during significant creek flows or when the
creek is not flowing. If levels considered to be unsatisfactory by Council are
indicated by such analyses, the applicant is to undertake remedial action as
determined by the Council and the Department of Environment and Heritage.

The applicant may transfer in a manner satisfactory to the Shire Planner, the
responsibility for compliance with this condition to a shared arrangement between
a body corporate having responsibility for overall maintenance of the drainage of
the site and the owner of the golf course

The proposed means of fertilising the golf course both in the initial- construction
stages and also for ongoing maintenance after establishment, shall be the subject of
a separate submission to Council. Council may approve of the proposed means of
fertilising the golf course, may require variations to such means and may refuse to
grant its approval. No fertilising of the golf course site shall be carried out except
in accordance with the necessary approval of Council and any conditions thereto.

The means of fertilising shall be designed so as to minimise the potential for any
increase in nutrient runoff to Lake Weyba or Weyba Creek. Council may also
approve of variations to the approved means of fertilising upon application by the
developer. The developer shall meet Council's ‘reasonable costs in assessing
proposals under this condition.

The golf course is required to be completed and operating to a minimum-standard
of a 9 hole course to the satisfaction of the Shire Planner, prior to Council sealing
plans for titling purposes, in excess of 180 dwelling units pursuant to this
approval. :
