*Minimum setback distance from a watercourse according to Noosa Council Polic.y

The long-term Acceptance rate of 5 litres/square metres/day was calculated from the above
results.

Noosa Council policy specifies a soil permeability range of between 0.09and 0.6 metres/day for satisfactory use of absorption trenches.The average penneability rate achieved during testing is not within these limits.

Therefore,it is concluded that the use of standard absorption trenches are not acceptable.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Long-tenn Acceptance rate of 5 l/m2/d be adopted

The site be provided with an "Envirotech Aerobic Sand Filter" 'passive aerobic treatment system or an equivalent system, to Councils approval in lieu of a septic tank.

The disposal system be by either;-# Evapotranspirarion beds as per AS1547;or # Above ground mound disposal system as per Qld Water Resourses Commision Guidelines.

The disposal area should be located in the vicinity of PT l,PT 2 and PT 3 as per
attatched site plan.

AU set-back distances as required by the local authority shall be met;

Stormwater run-off including roofwater from buildings shall be diverted around and away from the disposal area Imported fill may be required should there be insufficient soil available for the design of the disposru system.

Land resources and agricultural suitability - Kabi Road Golf Farm	Page I

Introduction
This report describes the land resources and agricultural suitability of part of Lot 394 on MCH37 l1 l7 and part of Lot 7 on RP216403 in the Parish ofNoosa. The two lots are situated approximately 20 km north of Tewantin at Kabi Road off Cootharaba Road via Boreen Point. An application for an Organic Integrated Permaculture Orchard and 18 Hole Par 3 Golf Course complex on part of these lots has been lodged with Noosa Council. The permaculture orchard and golf course are to be developed on part of Lot 394 on MCH371117 that has already been cleared. A maintenance shed, packing shed, hot houses, soil bins, tennis courts, and overflow parking are to be located on the northeastern comer of Lot 7 on RP216403.

Only the soils and topography over the part that is to be developed have been mapped and described for the purpose of this report. The remaining parts with standing native vegetation have not been surveyed. The land resource information was used as a basis for assessing the land suitability for growing horticultural crops and sugar cane. The agricultural suitability assessment was then used to determine Agricultural Land Classes for the purpose of identifying Good Quality Agricultural Land under State Planning Policy 1/92. Finally the merits of protecting any Good Quality Agricultural Land on the subject land have been discussed in relation to surrounding land uses and whether the proposed development permanently alienates the land from future agricultural use.

Methodology
Detailed soil and land descriptions were recorded at 3 sites using the standard terminology of the Australian Soil and Land Survey Field Handbook (McDonald et al. 1990). A further 6 sites were inspected and used as check sites to verify soil characteristics and distribution. The 9 site inspections represent a survey intensity of 1 site per 3.5 ha. All field inspection sites were selected to represent the range of topographic and landscape positions across the proposed area of_development. The site information was used to identify and describe the dominant land types present on the site. Topographic information and colour air photographs were used to map the distribution of each land type.

The agricultural suitability of the various land types was assessed using a 5-class classification scheme devised by the Department of Primary Industries (Land Resources Branch staff 1990). Criteria used for assessing suitability for sugar cane were adapted from a Department of Primary Industries (DPI) land use study of Moreton sugar mill (Capelin 1983) and the criteria used for assessing horticultural suitability were taken from Appendix 4 of Noosa Council's report titled "Geology and Soils of Noosa Shire" (Shields 1995).

Good Quality Agricultural Land was identified using Queensland Government guidelines (Anonymous 1993).

Land resources
The eastern half of the site is dominated by a broad undulating rise that has an east-west alignment. The rise is relatively flat-topped with slopes on the crests and upper slopes varying between l and 3%. The mid and lower slopes are steeper with slopes of 4 to 9%.

The western half consists of two rounded rises with slopes varying between 3 and 9%. A narrow valley flat extends along the northern edge of the rises.
Three soil groups have been identified on the site. The three groups have distinguishing characteristics that match soil groups described during the soil survey of Noosa Shire (Shields 1995) and have been given identical names. The three soil groups are briefly described in Table l. Their distribution is shown on Map l.

Loamy red and yellow podzolics occur on the crests, upper slopes and mid slopes of the broad undulating rise in the east. The podzolics have 20-30 cm thick loamy surface and subsurface layers that abruptly overlie mottled red, brown, grey and yellow clay subsoils. Bedrock may occur below 90 cm depth.

Sandy red and yellow podzolics occupy the rounded rises in the west. These soils have 20-30 cm thick sandy surface and subsurface layers that abruptly overlie mottled red, grey and yellow clay subsoils. Bedrock may occur 90 cm below the surface but is generally deeper.

Mottled yellow and gleyed podzolics occur on the lower slopes of the rises and on the narrow valley flat. They have 10-25 cm sandy to loamy surface and subsurface layers a ruptly overlying mottled grey, brown, yellow and red sandy clay subsoils.

All three soil groups have profile features that indicate seasonal waterlogging in the clay subsoil. The development of gleyed colours (indicating waterlogging) is greatest in the clay subsoils of the Mottled yellow and gleyed podzolics.

All three soil groups have an acid surface, subsurface and clay subsoil. Acidity is strong in the deep subsoils of the Sandy red and yellow podzolics and Mottled yellow and gleyed podzolics indicating nutrient toxicity problems may be encountered with deep rooting crops in these soils.

Current land use
The proposed development area has been used for beef cattle grazing of native and improved pastures.

The neighbouring land to the east, west and south is used for rural living. A plantation forest of pine trees forms the northern boundary. There is no evidence of commercial agriculture within 2.5 km of the subject land. Sugar cane is grown along Kimmond Creek Road, approximately 3.5 km to the north, and on Junction Road approximately 2.5 km to the south.

Agricultural suitability
The agricultural suitability of the three soil groups is shown in Table 2. The overall land suitability for agriculture is shown on Map 2.

Horticulture
Using criteria published in the geology and soils report for the Shire (Shields 1995), the Loamy red and yellow podzolics have the following limitations to horticultural production:
minor water availability limitation for annual small crops;
moderate soil depth limitation for tree crops;
minor to severe erosion limitation for annual small crops, negligible to moderate erosion limitation for tree and large vine crops;
minor wetness limitation for tree and large vine crops that are sensitive to waterlogging.

Overall, these soils are suitable for growing annual small crops on slopes below 6% (Suitability class 2 to 3), marginal for annual small crops on slopes above 6% (Class 4) and suitable for growing tree and large vine crops on all slopes (Class 3).

The Sandy red and yellow podzolics have the following limitations to horticultural production:
severe water availability limitation for annual small crops, moderate water availability limitation for tree and large vine crops;
moderate soil depth limitation for tree crops;
minor limitation due to the soil physical condition of the soil surface for annual small crops; severe to extreme erosion limitation for annual small crops, minor to moderate erosion limitation for tree and large vine crops;
minor wetness limitation for tree and large vine crops that are sen_sitive to waterlogging.

Overall, these soils are marginal for irrigating annual small crops on slopes below 6% (Class 4), unsuitable for this purpose on slopes above 6% (Class 5) and suitable for irrigating tree and large vine crops on all slopes (Class 3).

The Mottled yellow and gleyed podzolics have the following limitations to horticultural production:
severe water availability limitation for annual small crops, moderate water availability limitation for tree and large vine crops;
minor limitation due to the soil physical condition of the soil surface for annual small crops;
severe to extreme erosion limitation for annual small crops, minor to moderate erosion limitation for tree and large vine crops on slopes above 1%;
extreme wetness limitation for tree and large vine crops that are sensitive to waterlogging, a severe wetness limitation for all other tree crops and a moderate wetness limitation for annual small crops.

Overall, they are marginal for growing annual small crops on slopes below 6% (Class 4) and unsuitable for this purpose on slopes above 6% (Class 5). They are unsuitable for growing tree and large vine crops that are sensitive to waterlogging (Class 5) and marginal for other tree and large vine crops on all slopes (Class 4).

Sugar cane
The classification scheme devised for Moreton Mill cane lands indicates both the Loamy red and yellow podzolics and Sandy red and yellow podzolics have the following limitations to production of sugar cane:
minor to moderate erosion limitation;
minor wetness limitation.

Overall these soils are suitable for growing sugar cane (Suitability class 2 to 3).

The Mottled yellow and gleyed podzolics have either a negligible (<2% slopes) or minor to moderate erosion limitation (slopes >2%) and a moderate wetness limitation. Overall, they are also suitable for growing sugar cane (Class 3).

Good Quality Agricultural Land
The Planning Guidelines for the Identification of Good Quality Agricultural Land define four classes of agricultural land for Queensland. Land is placed in these Agricultural Land Classes on the basis of their suitability for growing crops that are relevant to a particular area.

Land classified as suitable for growing at least one crop (Classes 1-3) belongs in Agricultural Land Class A - Crop Land. Land assessed as marginal for all crops (Class 4) belongs in Agricultural Land Class B - Limited crop land whereas land that is unsuitable for cropping (Class 5) belongs in either Agricultural Land Class C (Pasture land) or Agricultural Land Class D (Non-agricultural land).

All three soil groups are suitable for growing sugar cane and at least one other crop group. However, the Mottled yellow and gleyed podzolics are unsuitable for trees and large vines that are sensitive to waterlogging and marginal for all other forms of horticulture. Maintaining these soils in horticultural production will require intensive drainage works and the cost of implementing and maintaining such works may outweigh any production benefits.

If sugar cane is considered to be a significant crop for Noosa Shire all three soil groups belong in Agricultural Land Class A. Disregarding sugar cane as a significant crop, the Loamy red and yellow podzolics and Sandy red and yellow podzolics belong in Agricultural Land Class A but the Mottled yellow and gleyed podzolics fall into Agricultural Land Class B.

IAgricultural Land Class A forms Good Quality Agricultural Land and all three soil groups constitute

11,, R_  LAND RESOORCIASSESSME\'T
AMl lUANAGEMm'T PTT. LTD.	October 1998

Land resources and agricultural suitability - Kabi Road Golf Farm	Pages

GQAL if sugar cane is considered to be a significant crop for the Shire. Disregarding sugar cane as a significant crop, the Loamy red and yellow podzolics and Sandy red and yellow podzolics constitute Good Quality Agricultural Land but there is strong evidence for excluding the Mottled yellow and gleyed podzolics, in Agricultural Land Class B, from Good Quality Agricultural Land.

Protection of Good Quality Agricultural Land
The purpose of State Planing Policy 1/92 is to ensure that Good Quality Agricultural Land (GQAL) is conserved through planning activities and decisions of local authorities, State government and the Planning and Environment Court.

GQAL warrants protection from any form of development that will alienate the land from future agricultural use. Alienation can occur as the result of rezoning to nonagricultural use and/or subdivision into unviable lot sizes.

Good Quality Agricultural Land may not warrant protection if the land is too small to be viable on its own and is isolated from other agricultural areas or is surrounded by urban land uses such that will result in significant conflict.

Farm size and viability
The proposed development area covers approximately 30.9 ha of which the entire area is suitable for growing sugar cane although only 12.2 ha are suitable for horticultural tree crops and annual small crops. A sugar cane farm needs to be at least 75 ha in size to be viable under the current social, economic and technological conditions. The proposed development area is much smaller and could only be effectively used for growing sugar cane iffarmed in conjunction with other nearby suitable land. The closest land currently growing sugar cane is 3.5 km to the north and 2.5 km to the south. Both existing cane land areas are too far away to be combined with the proposed development area in one farming operation. The proposed development area could only be used as part of a viable sugar cane farm if it was developed in conjunction with other suitable land in close proximity.

The 12.2 ha that are suitable for horticultural tree crops and annual small crops represent slightly less than the minimum 15-20 ha size required to form a viable horticultural farm. The proposed development area could only be used as part of a viable horticulture farm if it was developed in conjunction with other suitable land in close proximity.

The Planning Guidelines state that land protected as GQAL should have long term prospects for agricultural use. Irrigation is essential for commercial horticulture and, according to the Department of Primary Industries (Carr 1986), 15 ha of annual small crops would require at least 45 ML of irrigation water per year. Groundwater in the Cootharaba area is of variable quantity and generally poor quality and it is unlikely that the small drainage line running along the northern boundary of the subject land would have sufficient catchment to reliably provide 45 ML of annual water storage. Development of this area for commercial horticulture is unlikely.

Thus, long term agricultural prospects for the subject land are based principally on future expansion of the sugar industry in this area. The subject land will only be attractive for cane farmers during an expansion if it is developed in conjunction with nearby areas.

Current land use designation
IThe Noosa Strategic Plan currently designates the proposed development area as both Rural and as an Agricultural Land Conservation Area. This combination indicates that the subject land has been strategically assessed as having significant agricultural value and low environmental significance.

I,,	LA,'IDRESOORCIASSE<;S
AND IJANAGO!ll'fT PTT. LID.	October 1998

Although the proposed development represents a material change of use according to the Integrated Planning Act 1997, it does not necessarily represent a use that excludes other agricultural use in the future.

Construction of the golf course will include development of fairways, greens and tees. The fairways do not represent a significant form of land disturbance and are simply native pastures mown to maintain a low sward height. The relatively small areas of greens and tees are to be constructed either by raising flat-topped mounds of soil or by shallow scraping and topsoiling the scraped areas. In either situation the proportion of land to be disturbed is very small. Converting the proposed development area for sugar cane production will require minor landscaping regardless of the presence of tees and greens as wetness is a significant limitation to growing sugar cane on these soils and will necessitate drainage works.

Therefore, using the land for permaculture and a golf course does not alienate it from future agricultural use.

Development of infrastructure associated with non-agricultural activities, such as a clubhouse, parking areas and tennis courts, will result in the alienation of these very small areas.

Conclusions
Three soil groups have been identified on the site. Loamy red and yellow podzolics occur on 7.8 ha of crests, upper slopes and mid slopes of the broad undulating rise in the east. Sandy red and yellow podzolics occupy 4.4 ha on the rounded rises in the west. Mottled yellow and gleyed podzolics occur on 18.7 ha oflower slopes of the rises and on the narrow valley flat. All three soil groups are suitable for growing sugar cane (Suitability class 2 to 3). The Loamy red and yellow podzolics are also suitable for horticultural production except on slopes above 6%. The Sandy red and yellow podzolics are suitable for tree crops and large vines but marginal to unsuitable for annual small crops and the Mottled yellow and gleyed podzolics are marginal to unsuitable for all forms of horticultural production.

All three soil groups constitute Good Quality Agricultural Land if sugar cane is considered to be a significant crop within Noosa Shire. Disregarding sugar cane as a significant crop, the Loamy red and yellow podzolics and Sandy red and yellow podzolics constitute GQAL but there is strong evidence for excluding the Mottled yellow and gleyed podzolics from Good Quality Agricultural Land.

The Planning Guidelines state that land protected as GQAL should have long term prospects for agricultural use. Irrigation is essential for commercial horticulture but groundwater in the Cootharaba area is of variable quantity and generally poor quality and it is unlikely that the small drainage line running along the northern boundary of the subject land would have sufficient catchment to reliably provide sufficient water for irrigation. Development of this area for commercial horticulture is unlikely.

Long term agricultural prospects for the subject land are based principally on future expansion of the sugar industry in this area. The subject land will only be attractive for cane farmers during an expansion if it is developed in conjunction with other suitable areas in close proximity.

Although the proposed development represents a material change of use according to the Integrated Planning Act 1997, using the land for permaculture and a golf course does not alienate it from future agricultural use.

Alienation will only occur with the development of the few very small areas for infrastructure associated with non-agricultural activities such as a clubhouse, parking areas and tennis courts.

Dear Sirs

PROPOSED ORCHARD AND GOLF COURSE - KABI ROAD

We refer to your letter dated 9 February 1999 regarding the above proposed development and again state from our letter of 6 January, quote

"As you would be aware cane is currently being grown on the western side of Cootharaba Road and south of Junction Road. The proposed developments are in the centre of a fairly large track of agricultural land west of Cootharaba Road, north of Junction Road and south of Lake Flat Road.

While no cane is currently being grown on these blocks we do see this as future cane growing land and as such would have some difficulty in accepting a change of use for this land."

RE: PROPOSED PERMACUL TURE DESIGNED ORGANIC ORCHARD &
18 HOLE PAR 3 GOLF COURSE

Thank you for your letter of 6 January 1999 the content of which I have noted.

Having practiced as a town planner on the Sunshine Coast for the past 20 years and being familiar with the Moreton Sugar Company Limited's June 1994 report "The Sugar Industry and the Sunshine Coast" I appreciate your comments with respect to possible future options.

However, in an attempt to professionally advise my clients regarding their current proposal and accepting that they are making a considerable investment in their future (ie land acquisition, commencing a new venture and marketing costs) I would be grateful if you could indicate -

What commitments/plans Bundaberg Sugar has for the expansion of cane assignments at this locality.

Has Bundaberg Sugar investigated the existing fragmentation of lands in Kabi Road, the availability of land for cane production in Kabi Road, and the likely impacts upon existing residents and the existing environment at Kabi Road?

Have nearby cane farmers expressed an interest in acquiring land in Kabi Road for cane production purposes?

What has been the trend for expansion of the cane industty at this locality?

Assuming there are no short-to-medium term plans to expand cane growing into Kabi Road does Bundaberg Sugar anticipate any significant long-term constraints to the industry if the subject land were to be used as an integrated permaculture organic designed orchard and Par 3 golf course in the interim period. If yes, why?

nun<lal,,r.kt

How viable are transportation costs from this locality - Highlyflvfarginal/Less than marginal.

As previously indicated to your staff I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you so I might up-date my understanding and appreciation of the cane industry - such an understanding is crucial to town planners if balanced and informed advice is to be passed on to clients.

Yours faithfully

RE: PROPOSED PERMACULTURE DESIGNED ORGANIC ORCHARD AND PAR 3 GOLF COURSE COMPLEX AT KABI ROAD COOTHARABA via BOREEN POINT

On behalf of our client the Kabi Road Golf Farm Pty Ltd (ACN -82 295 314) a Material Change of Use application has been lodged with the Noosa Council for an Integrated Permaculture Designed Organic Orchard & Par 3 Golf Course Complex over part of lot 394 on MCH371117 and Lot 7 on RP2 l 6403 Kabi Road, Cootharaba.

As part of our client's application, Land Resource Assessment And Management Pty Ltd (LRAM) was commissioned to undertake an Agricultural Land Suitability Study which was completed in October 1998. It is our understanding that LRAM was also the consultant firm engaged by Noosa Council to prepare a Shire wide Agricultural Suitability Study.

Enclosed are extracts from my town planning report which describe our client's proposal, and extracts from LRAM's October 1998 report. I would be grateful if you would examine these documents and thence provide me with any comments in relation to known or planned Sugar Industry movements which would impact on our client's site.

I have operated as a town planner in the Maroochy Shire for a period of 19 years (Maroochy Shire Planner 1979-88 and accordingly would welcome the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss the future of the Sugar Industry on the Sunshine Coast so that I am better informed for when the new Maroochy Shire Town Planning Scheme is exhibited (anticipated early 1999). I regularly visit Nambour to attend meetings at the Council and would appreciate the chance to catch up with you.

DearGary,
Re: Kabi Road Golf (',0urse Complex

Comments on "Maintenance of Conservation Values"
From inception we established that a "standard" should he ob.c;erved with Lance and Rena, that not only suited their aspirations but also was to form the basis of an Environmentally Responsible Nutritional Program. To this end, we recommended and then broadly adopted the "National Standard for Organic and Bio-Dynamic Produce" of March 1997.
Since the commencement of our nutritional work which indeed broadly falls within these volunteered standards, we believe that your client has approached Biological Farmers of Australia (BFA) seeking their registration and authority to use the BFA symbol on produce grown and removed from their property. Upon adoption it is then our joint responsibility to embrace fully and to observe the nutritional standards as laid down by this group. Once again our products and any to-be-recommended nutritional elements outside of the Petrik Group of products, will fall within those required BFA standards.
New National/BFA Standards are to be introduced on May rt of 1999. I have yet to see these in print.

To best cover the "six dot" points contained in their information request, we feel it best to provide an
wholistic overview rather than trying to be too point-specific.

SUMMARY OF PROCESSES AND BENEFITS ACCRUING FROM IMPLEMENTATION OF A BIOI,OGICAL APPROACH ON KADI ROAD GOLF FARM AT COOTHARABA. Six dot

The Petrik technology and Burbank Resources approach that woutd be utilised is as a result of over 50 years of in-field and laboratory research & development in soil microbiology and plant physiology, hased on working with Nature to allow it to express its true potential.

The microbially based materials involved and soil amendments provide a conducive environment for optimum plant root and micmhial activity in the soil. As a reirult the indigenou.c; soil microorganisms are stimulated and directed to work in close association with plant roots in effective soil digestion and creation of a more sustainable soil structure and fertility.

The improved soil structure & fertility provides a captcity to hold nutrients in a biologically complexed form in the soil, allowing improved availability to plants, when required, and Jess opportunity for leaching through the profile. The water holding capacity and infiltration rate of the soil is increased, reducing runoff. Should runoff occur, in the event of flood rains, the improved stability of the soil aggregates, created by this approach, will restrict erosion.

All nutrients added to the soil will be more efficiently digested and converted into by-products to support plant growth & health and regeneration of soil structure and fertility. As a result the amount of nutrient inputs required will be reduced significantly. This will further reduce the need for specific measures to address nutrient nmoff and leaching.

The return of clippings and slashings to the Golfing areas and the establishment of grass/legume swards in the orchard areas will help provide support for the natural systems, through recycling. The recycled materials will provide invaluable support by providing direct energy food and building blocks for microorganisms with ultimate transfer, after processing, to plant and soil as required for their individual metabolic processes.

The golf course and orchards will not be the sole beneficiaries of the approach: the remnant native vegetation will also share in the benefits, and will perform an important role in the overall system. particularly with regard to bio-diversity ofbene:ficial bird and insect populations.

The materials will also help process the water used in the pr ject, when introduced into the storage facilities. This process will support the overall approach by also complexing substrate in the water into a form supportive of the biological process being initiated

As mentioned above the process is based on working with Nature, and as such the materials employed in the process have been produced using multi-step fermentation controlled by natural systems.
The total soil systems determine the end product, which then is able to direct the indigenous microorganisms in the natural processes necessary for plant and root supJX)rt. The Petrik materials include both live microorganisms and co-metabolites from the fermentation processes. The microorganisms, when introduced into the soil in a liquid state by spray, injection or overhead sprinklers, will act as an interface between the plant root exudates and the indigenous microorganisms to create order in the activity. The microorganisms introduced. which comprise a complete range of microorganisms normally found in the soil, simply direct the indigenous microorganisms to carry out the work required. The introduced microorganisms are extremely robust to withstand the rigors of the soil, having been isolated by natural selection during the involved and lengthy fermentation processes and are integrated into the material to provide mutual support when introduced into the soil.
No genetic engineering is involved.

The materials include the full range of microorganisms required in the soil with fungi, and actinomycetes etc; in addition to bacteria. The microbial strains included in the materials have been approved by the AQIS and the materials are individually tested in the USA before dispatch, and for any contamination.

Enzymes are only one of many groups of organic comJX>unds included in the materials and produced hy the microbes after introduction into the soil for support of the indigenow; microbe and plant. Some of the enzyme groups involved include the Hydrolase, Desmolase, Transferase and Trypsin groups. Also included are organic acidc;, vitamins, amino acidc;, and other co-metaholites, from the fermentation, for microbe and plant supJX)rt.

Adequacy and balance of cations in the soil is critical to the approach to provide pore space support microbial & plant proliferation and creation of stable soil humus. Trace element adequacy & balance is equally important, particularly in the production of enzymes used by microorganism in the extracellular breakdown of soil substrates to allow passage through microbial cell wall membrane. Soil testing is a regular routine part of the approach and sap analysis provides the guide to nutrient requirements along the way to allow sufficient nutrient supply and avoidance of unnecessary applications.

Decisions on nutrient application are made based on creation of a conducive and supportive soil environment, with adequate & balanced nutrients, with the interests of both plant and microbe in mind The provision of organic matter for readily available food & building blocks is an integral part of the approach.

INTRODUCTION

Th.is Standard was developed by the Organic Produce Advisory Committee in response to the increasing demand for raw and processed foods and other agricultural products, such as wool and cotton, which have been produced by organic farming systems without the use of synthetic chemicals.

The Standard lays down minimum principles which must be complied with before agricultural products and foods can be placed on the market with labelling which states or implies that they have been produced by organic famting systems.
The Standard aims:
to protect consumers against deception and fraud in the market place and unsubstantiated product claims;
to protect producers of organic produce against misrepresentation of other agricultural produce as being organic;
to harmonise national provisions for the production, certification, identification and labelling of organically and bio-dynamically grown produce;
to ensure that all stages of production, processing and marketing are subject to inspection and meet minimum requirements; and
to provide a guide to farmers contemplating conversion to organic famting.
'Organic' famting systems include those which are referred to as 'bio­ dynamic', 'biological', or 'ecological'. Irrespective of which term is used, the basic principles remain the same; namely production without the use of synthetic chemicals which aims to achieve optimum quantities of produce and food of high nutritional quality. Organic farming aims to nurture and maintain the land for future generations. Emphasis is placed on the use of renewable resources, the need for conservation of energy, soil and water resources and the maintenance of environmental quality. The production cycle is as closed as possible, with some use of external inputs permitted by this Standard. Therefore these systems strive to be sustainable.
A standard for organically produced agricultural-products differs from
standards	for other agricultura-l	produce	in	that	the	production
procedures are an intrinsic part of the identification and labelling of, and claims for, such products.
The Standard provides a framework for the industry covering production, processing, transport, labelling and inspection. The Standard aims to ensure conditions of fair competition in the market place by distinguishing those products produced according to the Standard from those produced in other ways. The Standard provides transparency and credibility for the industry and protects the consumer against deception and fraud.

NATIONAL STANDARD FOR ORGANIC AND BIO-DYNAMIC PRODUCE

SECTIONI

SCOPE OF THE STANDARD

This Standard applies to the following products which carry, or are intended to carry, descriptive labelling referring to organic* production methods:

unprocessed	plants and	plant products, animals and	animal products, and

processed products derived mainly from (a) above.

A product will be regarded as bearing indications referring to organic production methods where, in the labelling, advertising material or commercial documents, the product, or its ingredients, is described by the terms "organic", "bio-dynamic", 'biological", "ecological" or words of similar intent.

Notwithstanding, paragraph 1.2 does not apply where these terms clearly have no connection with the method of production.

Products derived from genetic modification technology or treated with ionising radiation are not compatible with the principles of organic agriculture and therefore are not permitted under this Standard.

This Standard applies without prejudice to other standards governing the production, preparation, marketing, labelling and inspection of the products specified in paragraph 1.1.

For the purposes of this Standard, the term "organic" is used in a generic sense and encompasses bio-dynamic, biological, ecological etc production systems.

Date: 25 March 1997	Page: I

SECTION 2

DEFINITIONS
I	For the purposes of this Standard:
"approved certifying organisation" means an organisation which has been approved by AQIS.

"bio-dyriamic" means agricultural practices based principally on the work of Rudolf Steiner and subsequent developments derived from practical application, experience and research.

"certification" means ·the procedure by which an approved certifying organisation provides written assurance that an operator has been determined to conform with this standard. Certification is based on the inspection of practices used, sampling of product and verification of records maintained by the operator.

"competent authority" means the official government agency having jurisdiction.

"ingredients" means the substances, including additives, used in the preparation of the products specified in paragraph Ll(b) f Section 1.

"inspector" means a person deemed by an approved certifying organisation to have the expertise and authority to inspect producers or operators for certification purposes..

"labelling" means any words, particulars, trademarks, brand names, names of certifying organisations, pictorial matter or symbols appearing on any packaging, document, notice, label, board or collar accompanying or referring to a product specified in Section I.

"marketing" means holding or displaying for sale, offering for sale, selling, delivering or placing on the market in any other form.

"official auditor" means a person or persons deemed by AQIS and OPAC to have the expertise arid authority to audit the operations of certifying organisations in order for AQIS and OPAC to confirm compliance with this Standard.

I"OPAC" means the Organic Produce Advisory Committee established by the Minister for Primary Industries and Energy to provide advice on all aspects of biological/ organic agriculture including the development of a national standard for such produce.

Date: 25 March 1997	Page:2

SECTION3
Organic farming means produced in soils of enhanced biological activity, determined by the humus level, crumb structure and feeder root development, such that plants are fed through the soil ecosystem and not primarily through soluble fertilisers added to the soil. Plants grown in organic systems take up nutrients that are released slowly from humus colloids, at a rate governed by warmth. In this system, the metabolism of the plant and its ability to assimilate nutrients is not overstressed by excessive uptake of soluble salts in the soil water (such as nitrates). Organic farming systems rely to the maximum extent feasible upon crop rotations, crop residues, animal manures, legumes, green manures, mechanical cultivation, approved mineral-bearing rocks and aspects of biological pest control to maintain soil productivity and tilth, to supply plant nutrients and to control insects, weeds and other pests.
The following requirements apply to organic certifying organisations and to individual operators.
PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS

The principal aims of organic agriculture include:
the production of food of high nutritional value;
the enhancement of biological cycles in farming systems; maintaining and increasing fertility of soils;
working as far as practicable within a closed system; the avoidance of pollution resulting from agriculture; minimising the·use of non-renewable resources; and
the co-existence with, and the protection of, the environment.

Organic production systems require that:
production methods set out in Annexes I and II must be satisfied;
only products composed of substances listed in Annex II may be used as plant protection products, fertilizers, soil conditioners, foliar sprays, animal feedstuffs, or animal protection products;
seeds and plant propagation material treated with substances not included in Annex II, but authorised for use in general agriculture, may be used where it can be demonstrated to an approved certifying organisation that non-treated product of an appropriate variety of the particular species was unavailable; and
after 31 December 1997 seedlings must be produced in accordance with this Standard.
IWhere it is considered that a substance should be added to Annex II, or Annex IV, or that amendments should be made thereto, the applicant must submit a full proposal giving the reasons for the inclusion or the amendments to the OPAC for consideration (refer to Introduction, paragraph 13).

SECTION 4

CERTIFICATION AND INSPECTION SYSTEM
'
In order to become an approved certifying organisation, an organisation must make application to AQIS.

For an organisation to become an approved certifying organisation, at least the following will be taken into account by AQIS after consultation withOPAC:

that the organisation is an incorporated body which operates preferably on a national basis, and will provide a certification program to documented standards which must meet all the requirements of this Standard; .
the inspection procedures to be used, including a detailed description of the inspection measures and precautions which the organisation undertakes to impose on operators subject to its inspection;
the penalties which the organisation intends to apply where irregularities are found;
the availability of appropriate resources in the form of qualified staff, administrative and technical facilities, inspection competence and reliability; and
the objectivity of the organisation with respect to the operators subject to its inspection.

Before and after an organisation has become an approved certifying organisation, AQIS will:
ensure that the inspections carried out by the organisation are objective;
verify the effectiveness of these inspections;
take cognizance of any infringements found·and penalties applied; and
withdraw the approval of any organisation where it fails to satisfy the requirements referred to in (a) to (c), or no longer fulfils the requirements specified in paragraph 4.4 below.
I	4.4.	An approved certifying organisation must:
ensure that at least the inspection arrangements and precautions specified in Annex ill are applied to undertakings subject to its inspection;

Date: 25 March 1997	Page: 5

SECTION 5
INDICATIONS THAT PRODUCTS ARE COVERED BY AN INSPECTION SCHEME

-	The following requirements apply to organic certifying organisations and to individual operators.

An indication that products are covered by a regular inspection scheme, as detailed in Annex ill, may appear on the labelling of products as specified in Section I only where such products:
satisfy the requirements of this Standard;
have been subject to the inspection arrangements referred to in Section 4 throughout the production and preparation stages;
have been produced or prepared by an operator whose undertakings are subject to inspection by an approved certifying organisation and has been granted the right to use the terms "organic", "bio-dynamic", "biological" or words of similar intent,
the term "organic in conversion" maybe used where the product does not qualify as full organic for reasons set down in Annex I, A.2;
are packed and transported to the point of retail sale in accordance with the requirements of Annex ill; and
include on the label of goods for either .wholesale or retail sale:
the name and any registered mark of an approved certifying organisation,
u.	an identification of the producer or processor,
thelevel of certification,
any	other	identification as	required	by	State/Territory regulations.

An approved certifying organisation must:
ensure that, where a product does not comply with the requirements of Sections 3 and 4, all non-complying product is removed from sale as labelled; and
where a manifest infringement, or an infringement with prolonged effects, is found, withdraw from the operator concerned the right to use the labelling indications covered by this Standard for a period which it determines appropriate.

Certification does not imply that the product has superior organoleptic (inherent), nutritional or salubrious (health) qualities.

SECTION 6
LAB.ELLING
The labelling and advertising of a product specified in paragraph l.l(a) of Section 1 may refer to organic production methods only where:

such labelling and advertising shows clearly that it relates to a method of agricultural production; or imported under the act laid down in section 7.

ANNEX!
PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIC PRODUCTION AT FARM LEVEL

Plants and plant products

These principles must normally have been applied on the land for at least three years before the harvesting of products covered under Section
In certain justifiable circumstances, approved certifying organisations may vary that period, on the basis of previous use of the land and subject to suitable evidence that on-approved inputs had not been used during the previous three years.

2  Organic in conversion is a production system which has adhered to these Standards for at least one year, and has been certified as such but which does not qualify as organic for reasons such as:

the conversion system has not been operated within the requirements for the specified period (usually three years);
the farm does not meet the quality standards (eg· soil structure, erosion control) considered appropriate and necessary for organic farms; or
the organic management system is not sufficiently developed.

The systems certified as organic in conversion should progress to organic status within a defined timeframe.

The fertility and the biological activity of the soil must be maintained or increased by any one, or combination, of the following methods:

cultivation of legumes, green manures or perennial deep-rooting plants in an appropriate rotation programme;
application of composted organic material from sources according to the principles set out in this Standard;
fully composted organic matter derived from. selected sources as listed in Annex Il;
the application of bio-dynamic preparations and methods; tillage techniques;
maintenance and management of livestock.

Other organic or mineral fertilisers, as specified in Annex II, may be applied only when adequate nutrition of the crop or soil conditioning are not possible by the methods set out above.

Maintenance of livestock must be guided by an attitude of care, responsibility and respect for living creatures. Pain inflicted by treatments such as castrating, marking and mulesing, must be kept to a minimum. Stress must be minimised. Living conditions must consider the natural needs of the animal for free movement, food, water, shelter and shade. Consideration must be given to their specific natural behavioural patterns.

The use of artificial lighting to increase productivity is not permitted.

'Choice Feeding', whereby animals are provided with a wide variety of food natural to their diet, is the preferred method of providing the livestock diet. Feeding of pre-mixed rations, particularly for poultry, should be restricted to times of extenuating circumstances, as outlined in paragraph 14.2.

Livestock must be fed on feedstuffs produced in compliance with this Standard.

However, up to 5% of all feed for any animal may be brought in as feed supplements in the form of:

minerals kelp molasses salt
Additives such as urine, faeces, offal or any other material of mammal, fish or bird origin can not be included as part of the diet. The exception to this is that poultry may be fed meat/fish meal to the extent that there is no deleterious effect on product quality.
Non-organic meat meal is subject to the 5% requirement above. This exception is subject to review by 31 December 1997, otherwise it will lapse.

In cases of extreme climatic or other extenuating circumstances (such as fires) exemption to fodder inputs may be granted whereby inputs from non-certified sources may be up to 40% of the dry matter intake. The stock must, however, be fed on organically sourced inputs for a consecutive 6 month period before carcass or wool products can regain organic status. Products such as milk and eggs can regain organic status after the stock have been fed organically sourced inputs for 21 consecutive days.

ANNEX II
FARMING INPUTS

Introduction

A developed organic farm will operate within a closed system to the maximum extent feasible. Inputs from outside must be kept to a minimum and used on the basis of need only. The inputs listed below are therefore not meant for continuous use. During the conversion phase a higher level of pennitted inputs may be required in order to improve the nutrient status and physical condition of the soil, and to overcome the result of previous farming activity.

Good design and management are paramount. Any inputs must be used, on the basis of need and must not be used to support a poorly designed or badly managed system. Non-essential use of inputs is counter to organic farming principles.

Sufficient organic material should be returned to the soil to increase, or at least maintain, humus content. Conservation and recycling of nutrients is a major feature of any organic farming system. The use of mineral fertilisers should be regarded as a supplement to recycling, not as a replacement.

Naturally obtained materials are not necessarily·non-toxic. Possible direct or indirect negative effects from use or misuse of even allowable materials must be guarded against.

Organic farming systems rely upon the highest achievable level of recycling of materials to conserve nutrients and on good design and management for the control of pests. Optimum systems use few inputs for fertility management and none of the pest and disease control products listed in Part B below.

It is generally necessary to adequately compost biological material by natural means, and it is essential for any material brought onto the fann from non-certified sources. Mulching materials applied to the soil surface-do not have to be composted prior to use, but their use must be documented.

Organic matter is best added to the soil surface or shallowly incorporated into soil.

8:  Liquid preparations, including products of the sea, and occasional use of trace elements, as specified in Part B below, must be used with care as some preparations can easily be applied in very concentrated form and in high quantities. Use of such materials recorded in the farm diary of
logbook.

trace elements (includes materials such as borax, Epsom salts, but not synthetically chelated elements). Natural chelates are acceptable, eg ligno sulphonates and those using the natural chelating agents such
, as citric, maleic, tartaric and other di- and tri- acids homeopathic preparations
approved microbiological and biological preparations
naturally occurring biological organisms (eg worms) but excluding products derived from genetic modification technology
fish products.

Use of any product has the potential to introduce unwanted residues and contaminants. Use of any products should be based on an assessment of need and with knowledge of chemical analyses.

Approved Materials for Plant Pest and Disease Control
Some of the products identified on the approved input list are toxic and should be used with care and with adequate safety precautions. Use of any of these products must be recorded in the farm diary or a logbook and repeated use must be justified.

13. The reliance on substances rather than management practices for the control of pests and diseases is not in accordance with organic famting principles. Caution needs to be exercised even when using products derived from natural sources as they are not necessarily non-toxic.

Some of the approved materials are selected for their short life in the environment and may not always be of low toxicity.

Date: 25 March 1997	Page: 17

Approved Materials for Animal Pest and Disease Control

Organic animal husbandry principles are based on the provision of conditions for healthy life by providing all of the nutritional and health promoting substances from diverse pasture and other food sources and by providing for the social needs of the animal.

The following substances are_pennitted for use in an organic system:

pyrethnun extracted from Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium, without piperonyl butoxide
rotenone extracted from Derris elliptica quassia extracted from Quassia armara neem oil and extracts
garlic oil, garlic extract or crushed garlic
seaweed, seaweed meal, seaweed extracts, sea salts and salty water sulphur
potassium permanganate homeopathic preparations
natural plant extracts obtained by infusion, excluding tobacco essential oils
methylated spirits tallow
cider vinegar (certified organic) nettle
diatomaceous earth non heat-'treated form·
selenium and other trace elements (to correct identified deficiencies only)
zinc sulphate copper sulphate
vaccines (may be used only for a specific disease which is known to exist on the organic farm or neighbouring farms and which threatens livestock health and which cannot be effectively controlled by other management practices)
vitamins.

ANNEXill

tvfINIMUM	INSPECTION	REQUIREMENTS	AND PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES UNDER THE INSPECTION SYSTEM

The following requirements apply to organic certifying organisations and to individual operators.
Farms

All production on the land under certification must comply with the inspection system given in Section 5 of this Standard.

When applying for certification, an applicant must provide all the information required under paragraph 4.6 of Section 4.

Subsequent to a questionnaire/application being satisfactorily completed and lodged, a farm inspection will be arranged. During this inspection the assessor is required:
to review	the	questionnaire	with	the producer	noting	any misunderstandings, discrepancies, etc;
· to inspect the soil types, condition of the soil, livestock, sheds, farming practices, etc; and
to prepare a detailed inspection report and recommendation.

The inspection report must specify the date of the last application to the land concerned of any products whose use is not compatible with this Standard;·

The approved certifying organisation must obtain an undertaking by the producer that, if granted certification, operations will be carried out in accordance with this Standard.

Written and/or documentary accounts must be kept to enable an approved certifying organisation to trace the origin, nature and quantities of all raw materials brought in and the use of such materials. Records must also be kept of the nature, quantities and consignees of all certified agricultural products.

Apart from nnannounced inspection visits, an approved certifying organisation must make full physical inspections in accordance with its rules of operation annually.

Where the use of nnauthorised substance is suspected, samples must be taken and analyses arranged with an appropriately accredited laboratory. An inspection report must be drawn up after each visit.

the nature, quantities and consignees of products which have left the premises;
any other information, such as the origin, nature and quantities of ingredients, additives and manufacturing aids delivered to the premises and the composition of processed products as required by an approved certifying organisation for the purposes of proper inspection of the operations.

Where products not covered by Section I are also processed, packaged or stored in the premises concerned:
the premises must have separate areas for storage of products as referred to in Section I, before and after the operations concerning them;
operations must be carried out continuously until the complete run has been dealt with and separated from similar operations performed on products not covered by Section I;
all necessary measures must be taken to ensure identification of lots and to avoid mixtures with products not obtained in accordance with the requirements of this Standard.

Apart from unannounced inspection visits, an approved certifying organisation must make full physical inspections in accordance with its rules of operation annually.

In cases of unannounced inspection visits the operator must give the approved certifying organisation access to the premises as well as to the written accounts and relevant supporting documents. An approved certifying organisation must be provided with any information necessary for the purposes of the inspection.

Products covered by Section I of this Standard which are not in final packaging may be transported to other premises only in appropriate packaging or containers, which are adequately labelled and identified to include:
the name and address of the person responsible for the production or preparation of the product;
the name of the product;
an indication specifying that the product is covered by the regular inspection arrangements of an approved certifying organisation.

D.	Sanctions
An approved certifying organisation must take appropriate actio_n if a producer or operator is found to contravene any provisions of this Standard. Refer also to paragraph 5.2(b) of Section 5.

ANNEX IV

OTHER PERMITTED SUBSTANCES3

Substances permitted as post harvest/storage treatments

Production, treatment and/or storage of certified product must be clearly separate, both physically and temporally, from those	products not produced in accordance with the requirements of this Standard.

Att: Rena and Lance

Dear Rena and Lance,
Ref: Basic Scientific Assessment

Please find attached the original Envirotest Analytical Report along with our invoice for your Job #98336 "Kabi Road" submitted 13/08/98.

It is important to note here that the soil analytical work was performed on a composite whole of property soil sample 00"-OT' in depth, taken with a Chlorine sterilised steel implement. Then placed in an approved one-litre Hexane rinsed glass bottle, without skin/band contact and stored on ice until submitted to Envirotest on 13/8/98.

Both water samples were similarly placed in approved Laboratory sterilised containers and stored on ice until submitted for analysis. All samples were taken by the writer with Tim Claridge as witness.

WHAT IT ALL MEANS	Analytical methodology Page #2

Soil Page #4 of your report From this basic Scientific Assessment, there are no excesses nor anomalies herein that would create a need for either Health or Environmental 

Section 3

Investigations, as all values fall well below ANZECC/NHMRC Guidelines of 1992.

There are neither excesses nor anomalies within this soil profile, as tested, that would or could impinge upon the establishment of your selected plantings. Obviously other factors, such as low natural soil fertility must be taken into full consideration, for successful plant establishment.

Fish Dam Page #3 of your report. From this basic Scientific Assessment, there are neither excesses nor anomalies herein that would be of concern to existing Aquatic life or Livestock.
Due to Faecal Coliforms and the presence of Arsenic & Bariwn above guidelines with Nickel@ 14 ug/L (still below guidelines), thi!I water must he deemed unsuitable as a 110urce of Drinking Water. In our opinion for stocking of this dam. it should be aerated via the establishment of two pennanent Air Duck Bubblers. Our invoice is attached, while the Air Ducks are to be forwarded under separate cover.

Should you need to draw water from this Fish Dant for irrigation, it is quite suitable for this purpose (as tested).

..2..

Pump Dam Page #3 of your report. From this basic Scientific Assessment, there are neither excesses
-nor anomalies herein, with all values being inside of Water Quality Guidelines for Irrigation Purposes.

As tested, this water is suitable for your irrigation purposes but must be deemed unsuitable as a source of Drinking Water.

While all care is taken in this compilation, we do not accept any liability for a lack of crop performance nor establishment of Fish or other Water Features, based on these reports or guidelines.

We do however assure you of our best attention to your requirements at all times.

Sincerely Yours

Dear David,
Ref: Kabi Road Fertigation

Finally bad the pleasure of meeting up with Rena and Lance on Friday last.

While I sit working up a report and a program of how-when-where & why, I am reminded that this is a perfect opportunity to lay a Fertigation design to suit the farms long term nutritional requirements.

Two fertigation aspects to consider:

l. Water quality - yet to be determined from a partially completed dam.
Should we find at a later stage, this water to be high in dissolved clay colloidal particles, Aluminium Silicates or other anomalies that could impinge upon the production of desired Greens.Tees or Surrounds we should allow for a perpetual fertigation system as part of your design
In such cases (if in fact required) we gain great soil/course benefits in establishing between a 1 and 2 ppm perpetual injection ofBiolator- a natural P3K chelatinglsolubising acid. 1-2 litres:Meg.

Given the diverse nature of the Farms tree selection, our aim is to broadly ensure that the soil is corrected and balanced to suit the 3 planting groups. Having said that, it would be my intention to support that establishment by a common fertigation cycle of biological nutrition that Lance could inject out on a regular and programmed basis - regardless of species, as the soiI has been corrected to suit their various nutritional requirements.

Bound to avoid a lot of headaches down the track.

Best Regards

K.abi Road Golf Farm

Att: Rena and Lance

Dear Rena and Lance,

Ref: Meeting of Friday 19/6/98

Thank you for having me on site on Friday last - I enjoyed being there.

Selected Nutritional Standard for the Farm and Golf Course
As discussed, your aspirations and our advice, would broadly fall within the attached "National Standard For Organic And Bio-Dynamic Produce" adoption of March 1997.

Tree Planting - Establishment & Maintenance

When your earthworks are more subdued, I propose that we broadly identify the differing soil types and take 3 to 4 soil samples (from suitable grids) so that I may raise nutritional and land-physical programs to suit the selected sites, for:
Olives
Citrus Family Herb Groups
Tropical - Sub Tropical fruit family

Your to-be-retained Gum tree stands must have a clear no Phosphorus and no enhanced nutritional de-markation zone which should extend from the trunk outward to a point 3-5 mtrs beyond the drip line.

With reference to our discussion on the potential for you to fully fertigate all plantings with common Biology - please refer to the attached sheet sent to David for his attention. Once the soil profiles are balanced to suit the differing crop requirements, they all have common need of complexed Biology to enter into sustainability. Deliberate overlaps of Biology and Biologically complexed nutrition from these fertigation sprinklers onto trunks and drip lines of the to-be-retained Gums should be avoided, but such exposure will not impact negatively if infrequent

Tensiometers available ex Burbank Resources should be established in 3 tree sites to build a water use history. Particularly easy to both over fertilise and to over water on high Organic Carbon soils.

Water Quality

Just as soon as associated earthworks are completed. and your dam has had time to fill and stabilise to some degree, a water sample needs to be taken for its nutritional content while also determining for negative elemental inputs that could impinge upon crop or course development. This water quality test would also permit firm guidelines to be raised for its use in foliar equipment - to ensure applied corrections "work". In my opinion you may need to consider having a perpetual injector system setup, but this can only be qualified by a full water test.

..2..

Environmental Assessment

You may at the same time wish to have Environmental Assessments performed on your dam water and from a composite across-the-property soil sample.
Correct sampling and storage of the specimens are vital.
These may be useful down the track, as coupled with your Nutritional Standards would display an awareness of and commitment to, Environmental responsibility rather than to that often used and meaningless "Environmentally friendly" terminology.

Can be a costly exercise in the vicinity of$800.00, yet sets a recognised standard open to any examination - best method is to perfom1 a "Prior To Treatment" and a "Post Treatment" Assessment around 6+ months apart. Will supply complete guidelines when we get closer to a demand for these.

Safety Data Sheets

Selected and typical Safety Data Sheets from the Petrik group of products are attached. While not designed for human consumption, all Petrik products are safe to apply around all plants and animals, near all waterways and any "play" activities without withholding periods or risk There is no associated toxicology as the estimated risk is in eye contact or via an allergic reaction to natural products with mainly low pH.

You do not require Hazchem storage facilities nor qualifications/license to house or to use our P3K product group.

A sub-soil profile wholly lacking energy, with high Iron, but once again the m jor Cations other than Potassium, are in a very sound halance. Quite strong stahle humic frnctions down this deep, auger well for plant growth via sound root establishment.

Drainage and definitely water quality, would have to be determined via a site inspection.

Unless this area is likely to he influenced hy Sodium/Chloride or acid Sulphate water intmsions and rising water tahles, and

Sound Organic C'..arhon at this deep profile.

Major Cations, other than Potassium, remain well balanced.

There are no anomalies here, no negatives. Correct nutritional halance will hold you in good staid throughout.

I have a feeling that NH4 values may well be high and positive throughout the property if these 4 Sites are typical.

Ref: Golf Greens Blending Overview

Dear Rena and Lance,
While you are paying for the exercise and you may do what you will with it, there is a considerable amount of
intellect behind the following compilation - as there is in all that we have and intend achieving with you. There are a great number of Greenkeepers and Clubs who would like to get their hands on this specific nutritional and correctional data. It belongs to you.

As long as you are satisfied with the particle sizes of the tested compost and sandc;, either the Medium Sand or Bowling Green Sand stack up best nutritionally for blending - Medium Sand preferred	Biology however MUST be engaged on site IN the compost.

Depending on how moist the compost is, two cubic mtrs of compost will come in at ro11ghly 1,00 tonne

Have your Compost supplier blend into the Compost BEFORE delivery:
I 0.00 kilos/per tonne Dolomite+
5.00 kilos/per tonne Sulphate of Potash
Wind-Row the compost. u a road water tanker/or hand gun to apply the following with water drench 50 ml/per tonne Btr-Bxi+
5 ml/per tonne Tmpul C'..ohalt+
5 ml/per tonne Impulse Molybdenum+ 20 ml/per tonne Complexed Hi-N+
20 ml/per tonne Omega	All together per tonne and they do not have to be spot on.

OR simply spray these materials onto the compost PER TONNE as it is being blended with the sand via screen mixing

Via screening try for a blend mix of6-9% Treated Compost per volume of Medium Sand. 7% being ideal with 93% Medium Sand

- Upon establishment of Greens, fertigate or boom spray the finished surface:
2.50 ltr/ha Btr-Bxi+
0.50 ltr/ha Impulse Molybdenum+
0.50 ltr/ha Impulse Cobalt+
2.50 ltr/ha Complexed Hi-N+
2.50 ltr/ha Omega

fony Brown and I will now communicate re Grass type and method/s of establishment.

We can arrange for the blending. screening etc if you wish, for in our opinion it is important to have these foundations laid correctly.

Situational Analysis

As part of the process to gain approval for the development of an integrated permaculture designed organic orchard and an 18-hole par 3 golf course at Kabi Road, Cootharaba via Boreen Point Noosa Shire requires a 'needs' analysis. This 'needs' analysis is to address the likely levels of patronage, profile of users, extent of catchment and demand for ancillary sports and recreation facilities such as tennis courts. The needs analysis should be measured against the aims and objectives of the Strategic Plan.

Essentially, an appropriate research methodology was required to conduct this needs analysis in accordance with these aims and objectives, namely:

Agriculture is an important contributor to the Shire's economy. The maintenance of an economically viable agriculture sector will require recognition of and response to
changes to traditional markets and the emergence of new markets. Growth areas within the industry are expected to be in the areas of farm forestry, macadamias, sugar cane, small-scale specialised crops and agricultural tourism. Economic performance can also be enhances by providing opportunities for value-adding to occur, before agricultural produce leaves the farm gate (27.1.2.1).
Encourage the ongoing, productive use of good quality agricultural land for sustainable agricultural development (27.1.3.2).

The recreational opportunities available in Noosa Shire are an important element to the Shire's attraction to residents and visitors (27.6.1.2).

Encourage the development of a range of recreational facilities, which are directly related to the Shire's natural core values and which are focussed on outdoor themes
and the Shires cultural heritage (27.6.3).

Ensure threat recreational development and activities do not adversely impact on the Shire's natural core values or reduce the quality of recreational experience provided
by the Shires natural resources (27.6.3.2).

The Kin Kin/Cootharaba/Boreen Point locality will retain its remote setting, small-scale rural villages and agricultural focus (10.4).

The primary economic activity across the locality will be agricultural, while is also
expected to generate a significant component of direct and indirect employment (10.4).

© Annie Bark/ & Associates	3

Such business can assist in providing focal employment opportunities as diversifying
the local economy and are encouraged in areas where the business will not impact on the environment or amenity on surrounding areas (10.4).
Other aspects presented by Council for the Kin Kin/Cootharaba/Boreen Point Locality included that the principal focus for recreation activities will be on improve recreation
and education opportunities, day tripping opportunities through the Shire's hinterland including those uses which are significant employment generators.

Methodology

Objective of the Research
The objective of this research is to conduct a needs analysis to:
assess the need for and benefits of this project to residents and visitors to Noosa Shire
identify any opportunities to the project by residents and visitors for incorporation into the design, development and implementation of the project
identify any constraints to the project in order to minimise any adverse impact on the environment, resident and visitors.

Scope of the Research
The scope of this research incorporates distinct demographical characteristics within the target population. Consequently, the total sample (n=75) was stratified to include:

Quantitative Research (Intercept Survey - Questionnaire)
community members (residents, business operators) within the Kin Kin/ Cootharaba/Boreen Point Locality (n=30)
visitors to Noosa Shire (n=30)

Qualitative Research (lndepth Interview)
property owners/operators neighbouring the development site (n=10)
business operators in the area (n=5)

All respondents were interviewed face to face, either by previously arranged appointment times or household/intercept interviews. The more executive style interviews where appointments will be necessary were unstructured and took up to 60 minutes. While the household and intercept interviews were conducted using a structured questionnaire that took no more than 15 minutes.

The research was conducted in the weeks beginning Monday 15th and 22nd, February 1999.

Questionnaire
The questionnaire was designed and development by Annie Barkl & Associates with technical expertise provided by Project Manager, Mr Gary Dillon. The survey commenced on approval of the questionnaire by the client.

Version: 1, Version Date: 03/12/2021

The questionnaire (Appendix A) was designed to meet with the objective of the research, ascertain the need for such a project in this area and be objective in order to gain a the perceptions of the community of impact to the proposed 'golf farm'.

Visual Support
To ensure the respondents had an appreciation of the proposed project, visual prompts were presented to the respondent where appropriate during the interview (Appendix 8).

These visual prompts consisted of:
a map of Kin Kin/Cootharaba/Boreen Point area
a map of Kin Kin/Cootharaba/Boreen Point area depicting the site of the proposed
project
a Development Concept Plan

Response Rate
The response rate was excellent. People were keen to be involved in the survey and the indepth interviews, interested in the proposal and concept and appreciated that their opinions were sought.

Not one respondent terminated the interview once it had commenced.

Response to Permaculture Approach

A local landowner proposes to incorporate a recreational/educational activity with an innovative agricultural pursuit. In fact, the viability of this proposal in the short term requires a value-adding activity be incorporated with the agricultural production. The landowner proposes to develop an integrated permaculture-designed organic orchard of about 1400 trees comprising of olives, pecans, bay trees as well as other tropical fruit interspersed with herb beds.

(SHOWING DIAGRAM #2) This area, indicated on this map is located at the end of Kabi Road via Boreen Point. The total property is 89 hectares with the area devoted to this proposal about 35 hectares.

With the ever-increasing demand for organically grown, the owners believe this permaculture approach will provide for local and regional markets.

Q7a	What is your response as a local residenUvisitor to this approach to agricultural

production?	
	Positive	Negative
Resident	28	2
Visitor	30	
Total	58	2

Comment: production.
97% of respondents had a positive response to this approach to agricultural

Why do you say that?

Residents' Verbatim Responses - Positive
A great idea
We need to ensure the environment is sustained Need to reduce chemicals/fungicides
It's the way everything is going
It's what people are swinging towards It's good for all
Seems to be a market for it - organic food shops, restaurant
People are becoming some allergic to the stuff they are putting on produce A growing market - innovative approach to business
Sounds innovative enough, they just might pull it off
:!;) Annie Bark/ & Associates	15

Good healthy produce
Rather pay more for good food than eat that genetic stuff We need to open their eyes and ears to new approaches Good healthy food - naturally produced
Residents' Verbatim Responses - Negative None provided

Visitors' Verbatim Responses - Positive
Good approach
Encourages good eating habits Good health is important globally
Just the way it should be - less chemicals Good for you - go for it
Promotes a healthier lifestyle Agriculture needs to adapt
I would be happy to see more of the same It's what more growers need to look at Organics are the way to go
Innovative approach Better lifestyle choice I like to eat good food New approach, I like it It's what we should do
Has great potential for this area - a growth industry As long as the prices are competitive
It's what is best for all of us
We need more organic producers/food I'd like to see more of this

,C Annie Bark/ & Assodates	16

Why do you say that?

Residents' Verbatim Responses - Positive
They would encourage something like this
Not the first time they have had to think about new ideas It's a modern council. They take a good approach Council's duty is to us
Council is trying and watching out for the area most of the time
Many of the local residents feel that Council have forgotten about our area and our needs -
roads are neglected - half finished, no public phone
We need to keep some of a valuable agricultural land safe from development Council can be 'green' when it suits them
Should definitely consider a different approach Innovation is the job of councils
Council needs to look at other areas in Shire, it all doesn't begin and end at Hasting Street Must encourage anything that is good for the community, but ask us first like you're doing They need to open their eyes and ears to new approaches
Maybe they need to look at new things Good for the community and local people Should be proactive

Report - Proposed Kabl Road Golf Farm Development

Level of Agreement to Aspects of Value-Adding Permaculture Approach to Agricultural Production

To value-add to this agricultural pursuit, the owners propose to integrate throughout the orchard a professionally designed Par 3 golf course of 18 holes. The course is intended to be a 'fun' course designed to attract social players of all ages and provide a day outing for families and small groups.

The experience of playing golf and observing the permaculture approach to agricultural production would be similar but with less impact in approach to the train ride through the agricultural areas such as the Big Pineapple and the Ginger Factory. This low impact leisure activity will provide an opportunity for people to understand more about permaculture in an ecologically sensitive and environmentally friendly manner.

Q8	In considering this proposal, I need to ask how likely you are to agree or disagree with the following statements? That being 1 Not at all agree to 5 Very likely to agree.

Q12	Before, I complete the interview are there any comments you wish to make about this proposal?

Residents' Verbatim Responses - Positive
Keep it different, environmentally friendly to nature As long as the golf course is affordable to locals Try it, it's different
Wished I'd thought of it Thanks for asking
Good idea. Will need to market it well
Tourism is growing, and this sounds a little different Should be a bonus to the area
Great idea. Hope it works
I like it. It sounds different. It will fit into the area
The tourists will love it, and if it was educational that would be great for the young ones Would bring tourists and encourage new ventures
Can't wait to see if it is what you're saying
There isn't much up that way so it may give the are the boost it needs Sounds OK. Will probably happen anyway. Why not here first

Visitors' Verbatim Responses - Positive
Could be a bonus for locals and boost employment It's up to the people who live here. I'm only a visitor
I'll come up and bring the kids. They'll want to play golf though I like the idea
I'm not concerned how far it is away from the main spots like Noosa. In fact that adds to the attraction. The kids don't get to see this part of the world - just the beach
Keep the fees down and I'll bring my crowd up from Melbourne Probably will happen no matter what I say
Hopefully it will be successful but it will take a while
Make sure the papers cover it so I can see it and remind me to come and give it a go It's a great idea - a little out of the ordinary
Sounds like something different Would be unique with the orchards
Sounds OK. Would look great with herbs and fruit
I'd probably use the course and the permaculture would be great for the kids to visit Sounds like somewhere I'd be visiting
,c, Annie Bark/ & Associates	30

I'll come and bring the kids

Residents' Verbatim Responses - Negative
Not many people in Boreen Point would want a golf course Locals would hate it
We don't need any more developments, tourists. Besides who would say it would work.

Visitors' Verbatim Responses - Negative
I'd say the true farmers and locals wouldn't want this type of thing - another golf course Too many tourists spoiling it now

DETAILED FINDINGS - lndepth Interviews

Neighbours (10) adjacent to and business operators (5) in the vicinity of the proposed site for the development of a 'golf farm' were approached to discuss their concerns, issues and opinion of the proposed project.

Specific Issues of Neighbours
In discussion with landowners of neighbouring properties, specific issues were identified. However, it was agreed by those landowners interviewed that these issues could be resolved to their satisfaction.

Concerns Identified by Neighbouring Landowners
Kabi Road will need to be upgraded to accommodate two way traffic and be sealed
Two lane sealed road to be built prior to construction to accommodate heavy transport
Storm water drainage needs to be attended to as current overflows across road. If
not attended to will impact on neighbouring property and reduce access to golf course
Need to determine hours of operation and licensing requirements/restrictions
Lighting of complex not to interfere with neighbours quality of life and current ambience
Future development of property such as extension of golfing facilities and
accommodation for visitors if property sold
Once approved who can it be assured that it will remain an organic enterprise

Benefits Identified by Neighbouring Landowners
Three phase electricity for further development a positive aspect for neighbours engaged in agricultural and light industrial activities
Way of the future as golf course can be compatible with permaculture pursuit
Expect it will increase our land values in the long term
Easy access to neighbours interested in playing golf
Potential to attract like minded people
Community benefits for local residents such as employment, extra revenue to the
area and other businesses

General Observations

,	Agriculture is very important. Nothing much else around here, only the lakes

'C Annie Bark/ & Associates	32

Broad acre crops only such viable - don't add anything to the area. Employment, revenue - nothing
Most agricultural activities around here haven't been able to sustain themselves
Agriculture is very important for the area but traditional approach don't work as well these days
Crops such as cane grown are 'historical' - providing nothing to the area, little /no
employment opportunities to locals and impact adversely on land and environment
Tourism activities not sustainable as a stand alone industry for this area
Young families in the area need long term employment or we'll lose them
Need to be innovative as smaller lots of land become available
Important to consider other approaches. They'll be different. More labour intensive but, hopefully more commercially viable

Response to Pennaculture Approach

Supportive Verbatim Responses
Lots are getting smaller therefore decreasing ability to be sustainable for agricultural pursuit. Need to look for alternatives that will work on a smaller scale and with a community approach
Increase in past few years with flower growers etc but before that stagnant
Has started with barramundi fish farm, herb garden - Geisha, and flower industry
Can't have the whole area rural residential. Need to protect some land for agriculture. Short sighted if we did not
Only way to sustain type of agricultural pursuit for this area
Any good idea needs to be considered. If don't grow socially and economically will be a negative impact on community. Tourism around here does not sustain
community now.
Sceptical of broad acre farming for this area such as sugar cane. It's not sustainable in the long term
Would provide a more stable and productive population. Less transient population as
those not wanting to work will have to leave if jobs available.
Makes marginal agricultural land more viable. Therefore potential to keep land available for agriculture
To encourage better economic performance
Will bn·ng employment to the area and services. We don't even have a bus service
Great would like to see more of it
More money for the area. Help improve infrastructure

Supportive Verbatim Responses - with Concerns
tJ Annie Bark/ & Associates	33

Just as long as it doesn't impact on the environment like the spraying of cane does -
Need for balance - to live in a nice environment but if certain it doesn't impact on that it will be OK
Provided kept low key and low impact
If it is viable to do that. Not happening at the moment, most employment contained within family of landowner
Need Council's assist in making existing and new ventures commercially viable
Must compliment lifestyle - no pollutants
Needs to be conducive to the area
Need to be careful development does not 'overload' area. Needs to be balanced - a balanced development would be good
Employment opportunities but concern re use of chemicals that may be harmful to the
environment
Would believe issues such as making Kabi Road two way access and sealing it and any drainage issues can be solved
We need to be careful we don't reduce land available for agriculture

Response to Permaculture and Value-adding Approach

As residents of the area, neighbours to the property and businesses likely to be affected by the project, the respondents were positive toward the concept.

Supportive Verbatim Responses as a Local Resident
Excellent idea. It is the way to go with organic food.
This is a unique area for this type of thing.
New idea. Won't overtly affect me. Will need to provide decent access. Kabi Road will need to be a two way sealed road.
Believe permaculture as potential to be a viable and sustainable industry - someone
needs to give it a go
Potential market locally - restaurants etc. Also Brisbane would be a big market for that type of thing. Not much of it around here - a bit in northern NSW
Potential for this produce is growing and will be in high demand in future

Verbatim Responses as to Council's Approach to Proposal
Respondents stated that Council should consider this proposal with an open mind as it had both immediate and longer-term benefits for the local community.

t'.l Annie Bark/ & Associates	34

Council should be mindful if does not underestimated the eco tourist potential of this proposal
Wouldn't hurt council to get behind if this community, in general, seems to be moving
in that direction.
Council needs to ensure agricultural land remains viable. Therefore the risk can be minimised with such a value-adding activity
Need to consider fragile nature of the area and what is best for it
Council promised light industry but to date no show
Council's attitude can be unrealistic at times. Hope they are open minded to this. If
these people are prepared to give it a go Council should provide them with every
support
Council can be too green when it suits them needs to be more balanced in their approach to development to allow for the creation of jobs and local wealth. This idea
has merit.
Council should look in favour. It has 'neglected' this area for other areas of the Shire. Where they get the most money from
Council not interested in this area. It is extremely neglected. No body on Council
looking after us

Level of Support for Aspects of the Proposed Project

All respondents interviewed supported the concept as described to them. There were some concerns raised but respondents felt that these could be resolved.

Supportive Verbatim Responses
Educational value is very important - subtle but hands on - therefore very effective
Marvellous as it will train some locals in a new approach to agriculture.
I believe it won't impact on us adversely, think it's a good idea we'd be prepared to chance it
Wholeheartedly support it if it is what we discussed today
Would be great as a case study for similar ventures in the area.
Permaculture Institute in northern NSW attracts people from all over the world. Has become a training and educational centre for anyone interested in permaculture.
Expect it would increase our land values
No objections to it at all. A bit of development is needed and would be good for the area
Great benefit to community. Better than sib dividing it as previous owner was
intending to do
Feel people are genuine in wanting to develop a wildlife sanctuary
,C Annie Bark/ & Assodates	35

Supportive Verbatim Responses - with Concerns
Happy to support providing they fix the road and we don't get infested by insects etc of our properties
Clubhouse OK fits into local environment and aspect
Tennis courts OK if close to clubhouse. Will they be /if?
Great idea if affordable to families not exclusive open to people in the area
Have some concern about the kangaroos if they are going to be like a 'wild life reserve'
Think it is a good idea. Need to realise impact on neighbouring properties a critical issue.
Need to take particular care and communicate with neighbours
Doubt that they can get away without having to use some chemicals etc. Everyone else has to use them around here.
Good on them but am concerned about fire protection on pine plantation. Golfers smoking. Need to reduce this potential hazard by management policieslpracticies
OK. Am concerned a little about noise level if opened all hours. Suspect it would have a time constraint on liquor license
Overall would support. Don't think a craft/produce store is necessary

Further Comments

Positive Verbatim Responses
The eco tourist potential of this activity is not to be underestimated
In principle I can't see it would be a problem
Initially sounded a bit way out, but seems like a good idea
Very supportive if it as you say it is
Good to see someone is prepared to take the risk and do something different. Goad luck to them.
Ideal approach. Not changing any aspects of the property and therefore it could revert
back if need be.
We'd use it.
Will encourage visitors to stop perhaps stay for a day or so. Usually just drive though to get to somewhere else.
Need something for tourists to want to stop.
Need tourists to stop. They just flow on past. Don't stop even for petrol. Dirt roads put them off.
I	,t, Annie Bark/ & Associates	36

Local community would be delighted. It could tum out to be a community facility as well as a tourist one. Good for families in the area - golfers or not.
If Kabi Road upgraded at landowner's expense will be a saving for Council and
ratepayers

Positive Verbatim Responses - with Suggestions
I think the locals will use it but for visitors will need to market it. Maybe market as a golf course package with other local courses.
Doing the right thing, going the right way. Will need to develop aspects of gold course first than plant for permaculture
Would be a very popular idea as I see it. I'm very much in favour of the proposal. Would need to advertise to attract tourists

Report- Proposed Kabi Road Golf Farm Development

CONCLUSION

The outcome of this research indicates that:

Neighbouring landowners interviewed were supportive of the proposed project and
considered their issues could be resolved to their satisfaction. Those issues identified were:

Kabi Road will need to be upgraded to accommodate two way traffic and be sealed
Two lane sealed road to be built prior to construction to accommodate heavy
transport
Storm water drainage needs to be attended to as current overflows across road. If not attended to will impact on neighbouring property and reduce
access to golf course
Need to determine hours of operation and licensing requirements/restrictions
Lighting of complex not to interfere with neighbours quality of life and current ambience
Future development of property such as extension of golfing facilities and
accommodation for visitors if property sold
Once approved who can it be assured that it will remain an organic enterprise
Neighbouring landowners also acknowledge that aspects of the proposed project were of benefit to them. Those benefits identified were:

Three phase electricity for further development a positive aspect for neighbours engaged in agricultural and light industrial activities
Way of the future as golf course can be compatible with permaculture pursuit
Expect it will increase our land values in the long term
Easy access to neighbours interested in playing golf
Potential to attract like minded people
Community benefits for local residents such as employment, extra revenue to the area and other businesses

The community of impact is aware that agricultural production in the area has
decreased and this is likely to continue if more innovative approaches to agricultural production and 'rural pursuits' are not forthcoming

The community of impact states that broad acre crops such as sugar and bananas are the main agricultural activity. As these activities provide little employment for

,Q Annie Bark/ & Associates	.:/3

residents there needs to be innovative approaches to other forms of agricultural pursuits

The community of impact believes that the economic performance of the area has been affected by a decrease in agricultural activities with impacts on availability of
jobs for residents and revenue for local business

The community of impact acknowledges that the area needs an innovative approach including value-adding activities to:
ensure the ongoing viability of agricultural production in the area
provide ongoing employment for residents
,.	stabilise the economic performance of the area

The community of impact supports and is likely to approve the proposed development as described to them in the survey

The support by those included in the survey was higher than what respondents perceived local support to be. This result indicates that as the local community
gained more information about the proposed project their level of support would increase
The support and likelihood of approval by the community of impact to this proposed project is its potential to assist in:
enhancing the economic performance of the area
providing employment for local residents
engaging in an agricultural pursuit by incorporating a value adding activity
incorporating a proposal consistent with the ambience of the area, with minimal impact of the environment and, in some instances, enhancing the
local environment by protecting local wildlife through ecological sustainable activities

The support and likelihood of approval by the community of impact to this proposed project is it is concept, aspects of that concept and specific features incorporated in it
such as:
picnic facilities
a practice golf area
clubhouse with car parking facilities designed appropriate to the visual amenity of the area
craft exhibit and produce centre where local items are available for sale
a tennis court

The community of impact believes there will be a high level of demand for this facility. Local residents were to likely to use the facility but that because of its unique
approach it had the potential to attract visitors to the facility and subsequently to the area.

The outcome of the research indicates that the community of impact perceives a need for this proposed project within this region of the Noosa Shire.

Additionally, if measured against the aims and objectives the Noosa Shire's Strategic Plan, the concept of this proposal, aspects of the concept and specific features of the proposed project appear to be in accordance with those aims and objectives, namely:

Agriculture is an important contributor to the Shire's economy. The maintenance of an economically viable agriculture sector will require recognition of and response to
changes to traditional markets and the emergence of new markets. Growth areas within the industry are expected to be in the areas of farm forestry, macadamias, sugar cane, small-scale specialised crops and agricultural tourism. Economic performance can also be enhances by providing opportunities for value-adding to occur, before agricultural produce leaves the farm gate (27.1.2.1).

Encourage the ongoing, productive use of good quality agricultural land for sustainable agricultural development (27.1.3.2).

The recreational opportunities available in Noosa Shire are an important element to the Shire's attraction to residents and visitors (27.6.1.2).

Encourage the development of a range of recreational facilities, which are directly related to the Shire's natural core values and which are focussed on outdoor themes and the Shires cultural heritage (27.6.3).

Ensure threat recreational development and activities do not adversely impact on the Shire's natural core values or reduce the quality of recreational experience provided
by the Shires natural resources (27.6.3.2).

The Kin Kin/Cootharaba/Boreen Point locality will retain its remote setting, small-scale rural villages and agricultural focus (10.4).

The primary economic activity across the locality will be agricultural, while is also expected to generate a significant component of direct and indirect employment
(10.4).

LVersion: 1, Version Date: 03/12/2021

Where amenity impacts will not arise, it is also intended to encourage appropriate value-adding on the site of the agricultural production (10.4).

The recreational potential of the locality will provide opportunities for low impact, short stay visitor facilities. in the form of farm stay and bed and breakfast accommodation,
particularly focussed on the rural villages of Kin Kin and Boreen Point (10.4).

Such business can assist in providing local employment opportunities as diversifying the local economy and are encouraged in areas where the business will not impact on the environment or amenity on surrounding areas (10.4).

Other aspects presented by Council for the Kin Kin/Cootharaba/Boreen Point Locality included that the principal focus for recreation activities will be on improve recreation and education opportunities, day tripping opportunities through the Shire's hinterland including those uses which are significant employment generators.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The results of this research indicate a most positive response to the proposed project - Kabi Road Golf Farm, from those respondents considered to be most affected by the proposal. The respondents included in this research were neighbouring landowners, business operators within the vicinity of the property, local residents and visitors to the area.

Planners and developers of the site need to be mindful that this outcome was directly as a response to the information provided to the respondents. Any change to the information described to them during the interview could have a positive or negative change to that level of support.

It is therefore recommended that those respondents responsible for the implementation of this proposal retain and maintain that support by utilising the research as an opportunity for ongoing liaison with the community of impact, specifically the landowners of neighbouring properties.

This liaison could be as simple as a letter box drop informing the area of the recent research and providing a contact number if further information is required or issues or concerns need to be clarified or discussed.

Another suggestion could be an informal information event on the site inviting neighbours to discuss the proposal and the issues identified in this report.

The local community appears to be an ally for the proposal to support permaculture as the main agricultural pursuit with a golf course as a supplementary value-adding activity. If provided ongoing information, as an ally the local community could encourage the proposal for this property among the broader community of Noosa Shire.

Alternatively, as the community of impact, opponents to the proposal would have limited success in harnessing them as leverage to push a conflicting point of view.

As the sample for this survey was limited to the community of impact, caution is also advised in making assumptions that this response would be an indication of the response of the broader community of Noosa Shire.

Annie Bark! & Associates congratulate the landowner and planners in their proactive approach to gain input as to the opinions and response of the local community to this proposal.

A local landowner proposes to incorporate a recreationalleducational activity with an innovative agricultural pursuil In fact, the viablity of this proposal in the short term requires a value-adding activity be incorporated with the agricultural production. The landowner proposes to develop an integrated permaculture­ designed organic orchard of about 1400 trees comprising of olives, pecans, bay trees as well as other tropical fruit interspersed with herb beds.

(SHOWING DIAGRAM #2) This area, indicated on this map is located at the end of Kabi Road via Boreen Poinl The total property is 89 hectares with the area devoted to this proposal about 35 hectares.

To value-add to this agricultural pursuit, the owners propose to integrate throughout the orchard a professionally designed Par 3 golf course of 18 holes. The course is intended to be a 'fun' course designed to attract social players of all ages and provide a day outing for families and small groups.

The experience of playing golf and observing the permaculture approach to agricultural production would be similar but with less impact in approach to the train ride through the agricultural areas such as the Big Pineapple and the Ginger Factory. This low impact leisure activity will provide an opportunity for people to understand more about permaculture in an ecologically sensitive and environmentally friendly manner.

Some Definitions

Permaculture is an agricultural activity that is innovative in its approach by developing crops and land use conducive to the property's natural habitat. This approach is based on practical concepts and ideas that can be applied to all situations from small residential yards to the broad acre farm.

Permaculture produces productive sustainable environments to provide healthy food, energy, shelter that are best suited for the features of a property rather than manipulating the property to suit the agricultural pursuit.

Additionally, this approach can eliminate the need for chemicals and any other introduced artificial technology, relying on manual methods and implementing activities to conserve water and reclaim, reuse, recycle.

Value-adding is an approach to supplement the core agricultural activity by increasing the economic performance of the land use before agricultural produce leaves the gate. This approach:
provides an opportunity to extend the cash flow period of the business
ensures ongoing permanent employment as opposed to seasonal employment
insures the core activity has financial support during periods of hardship such as drought, decrease in market demand
increases the long term viability of the collaborative use of the land.

Examples of agricultural pursuits that have incorporated value-adding activities:
farm stay, bed and breakfast accommodation
vineyards that include gourmet dining activities, music appreciation activities and other special events
pineapple and ginger industry that include a tourist activity such as a train ride and supporting retail infrastructure

INTRODUCTION

'The subject proposal comprises the development of an eighteen (1:S) Hole Par 3 Golf
Course at Cootharaba.

The site will be promoted in the following manner:
to locals who enjoy a social game of golf and arc: unable to play at more conventional courses, ie. Tewant:in. Ni:>0s:i Springs, Noosa Valley; either because they are too expensive or booked out, etc;
to tourists who are just wanting a "fun.. game or who are unable to
book inl:o one of the more conventional courses; and
to families where certain members play golf an:1 the others play
tennis, swim, or simply remain at the Club Hou;;e.
It is not pcoposed that there will be any accommodation elemettt to the complex. The report assesses the traffic likely to be generated by the facility and determines
its impact on the surrounding road network. A recommendation towards a suitable contnoution to compensate for the traffic impact of the proposal is also included.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

THE SITE

The subject site is described as Lot 394 on M371117 and Lot 7 on PR 216403 in the Parish of Noosa, County of March.

Currently, the 89ha (approx.) site is relatively undeveloped. Fig. Al of Appendix A illustrates its locality.

ROAD NETWORK

Access to the subject site is via. Kabi Rd, which is currently unsealed and approximately 450m in length. Plates 1 and 2 illustrate the cross-section of Kabi Rd. Sight lines at Kabi Rd's junction with Cootha.raba Rd are adequate (as illustrated on Plates 3 & 4). Kabi Rd is siruated approximately ntidway along a 3km sealed section of Cootharaba Rd which extends for the majority of the section between Junction Rd and Lake Flat Rd. Further north and i;outh, Coocharaba Rd has some unsealed sectiom of pavement.

Cootharaba Rd ultimately connects the site to Gympie to the oortb, Boreen Pt to the east (via Lake Flat Rd or Junction Rd) and Pomona to the south-west. Tewantin (to the south-east) is linked to the site via the Tewantln-Boreen Point Rd.

EXISTING TRAFFIC

Existing traffic on Cooth.araba Rd has been determined by a traffic survey (pneumatic tube) undertaken by Phoenix Traffic Surveys Pty Ltd on Wednesday 3rd and Thursday 4111March 1999. A copy of the results of the survey is included as Appendh B of this report. Ir is noted that the surveys were. undertaken after the flood period of early 1999.

The survey reveals that in the order of 300vpd currently use Cootharaba Rd.  Kabi Rd serves as access for about 5 rural/rural residential lots and consequently daily traffic generation on Kabi Rd would be about SOvpd.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

DESCRIPTION

The proposed development comprises an eighteen (18) Hole Par 3 Golf Course on
89ha of land off Kabi Rd, Cootharaba.

Fig. A2 of Appendix A illustrates the propo d Development Concept Plan.

The site will be promoted in the following manner:
to locals who enjoy a social game of golf and are unable co play at more conventional courses, ie. Tewantin, Noosa Springs, Noosa Valley; either because they are too expemive or booked out, etc;
to tourists who are just wanting a "fun" game or who are unable to book into one of the more conventional courses; and
to families where cenain members play golf and the others play
tennis, swim, or simply remain at the Club Holll e.

It is not proposed that there will be any accommodation element to the complex.

TRAFFIC GENERATlON

Traffic generation associated with the subject proposal 'wo ld depend almost completely on the patronage of the complex. This is related to both the attractiveness of the site and its locality.

It would be unlikely for the golf course to attract more than the following number of players:
AM period = 20 groups of 4 players (or equival ) PM period = 20 groups of 4 players (or equivali nt) Total == 160 players.

In the event 90% of site visitors during thc:se periods are golf players, this directly corresponds to 178 visitors to the site, say 180 visitors.

About 50 visitors could also patronise the site during other periods (eg. lunch ere.) and for other uses (eg. tennis etc.) thereby yielding a likely dully maximlliD of 230 visitors to the site. With an average vehicle occupancy of 2.5ppv. (persons per vehicle), this corresponds to daily trip generation associated ith the site of 92vpd
IN + 92vpd OUT.

Page 5

An additional 1Ovpd IN + 1Ovpd OUT would be expected from staff trips.

In the likely event that daily patronage is less than 230 visitors, trip generation would be lower. Table 1 SUill1Dat'ises daily trip generation associated with varying patronage levels.

Note:	• Lower ave:.-age vehicle occnpancy expected at tower patronage levels.
•• Lower staff trips with lower staff associated with lower patro .

Consequently,  depending  on the average  patronage  of  tbe subject  site,  trip
generation would vary from a likely minimum of 30vpd to a maximum of 204vpd.

It is expected that the site would attract higher patronage on th! weekends and lower patronage on weekdays. From our experience and consideration of the location and proposed facilities at the subject development likely maximum patronage would be as follows:

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturw.y Sunday
ljO visitors (134vpd) 100 visitors (112vpd)
75 visitors (85vpd)
100 visitors (112vpd)
150 visitors (134vpd)
230 visitors (204vpd)
230 visitors (204vpd).

On this basis, average daily trip generation would be calculated thus:
. (2 (204vpd) + 2 (234vpd) + 2 (112vpd) + 1 (85vpd)] + 7d == 140.7, say 140vpd.

Tl I) LJAJ9 ICAil_P.D,l:l6/04.119	Page6

ROGER BRAMELD CONSULTING PTV LTO	KAB-1ROAD GOLF COURSE

Consequently it is anticipated that the maximum average daily trip generation associated with the subject site (including staff, golf and on;hard trips) would be 140vpd.

This is considered to be a conservatively high esthnare, h.owever it is deemed appropriate for this assessment.  Peak hourly generation is lil:ely to be 10% - 15% of the daily traffic generation (14vph to 21vph).

TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION

Distribution of generated trips would vary seasonally. however it is unlikely to vary significantly from 50% from the north and 50% from tbe south.  This trip distribution has been assumed herein.

PARKIN(i

Peak parking demand associated with the proposal has b :en derived from the forecast traffic generation. Due to the .nature of the site, the duration of stays would be relatively long, thereby increasing the parking demand,

The peak demand period would include the coincidence of morning and lunch or lunch and evening peaks, thereby including up to 60% of the daily traffic generation. This directly corresponds to parking demand of 55 vehicles (including staff): ((230 visitors + 2.5ppv) x 60%)+ 10 staff vehicles :::; 65 cars).

The site plan illustrates provision for 85 car spaces, 3 bus bays and a separate staff
parking area. In addition, an overflow parking area has been ilesignated.

Therefore parking provision for the proposal exceeds the lik!ly maximum demand
and is considered more than adequate.

FUTURE CONDITIONS

FUTURE BASE TRAFFIC VOLUMES

For the purpose of this assessment base traffic growth on Cooth-araba Rd has been assumed to be 4.3%p.a. (compound). This growth rate is relatively indicative of the region.

On this basis, daily traffic on Cootharaba Rd would increase from 300vpd (1999) to 457vpd during the ten year design horizon of 2009.

Traffic growth on Kabi Rd would only occur in the event of development on Kabi Rd (such as the subject proposal) and therefore no base gro\l.rtb.has been modelled herein.

IMPACT OF PROPOSAL ON ROAD NETWORK

The impact that the subject proposal would have on the road network can be
measured in a number of ways, viz:
effect on operation of nearby roads and intersections based on likely traffic generation;
comparison of likely traffic generation from an equivalent number of residential allotments.

The following sections of this report outline analyses on the above bases.

Operation of.IntersGctions and Roads

As outlined in Section 3.2 of this report, the subject propoi31 would be likely to generate in the order of 140vpd (say 70vpd IN + 70Vpd OU:f) with maximum peak hourly generation of 14vph to 21vph.

The traffic survey (illustrated in Appendix B of this report) reveals peak hourly traffic on Cootluraba Rd is currently about 30vph (two-way) and would therefore reach about 46vph by the horizon year of 2009.

As turning traffic (generated by the proposal) would not exceed 14vph to 21vph, a detailed capacity analysis of the operation of the Kabi Rd/Cootharaba Rd intersection is not warranted (Table 4.2 of Ref. 1).

Tl'3C(I) LlAJ9 ltA!ll_llL>':ld.b4.	Page 8

In addition, no turn lanes are warranted (Figure 5.23a of Ref. 1).

The  proposal would add up to 70vpd on Cootharaba Rd (assuming 50%150%
directional split). The effect on traffic on Cootharaba Rd is outlined in Table 2.

Note:  • No reduc:lion in trip g rarion from subj«t sire due to moduic.ation of existing use has
been made.
•• Relates t,, traffic volumes on Cootfuraba Rd.

The information in Table 2 illustrates that the proposal would bring forward the year during which cer1ain traffic volumes would exist on Cootharaba Rd. It is noted that the time "brought forward" decreases as the generated traffic becomes a lov;er portion of the base traffic further into the future.

It is understood that Council does not have guidelines on daily traffic thresholds to wa.mmt the sea1mg of roads and consequently a reasonable am relevant contribution based on the cost to "bring forward" sealing of a road can not be determined as the
cost would V'drf depending on the threshold set.

On the same basis, a requirement to seal Ka.bi Rd would no! be reasonable or relevant as daily traffic on Kabi Rd would be in the order of 190vpd (50vpd existing plus 140vpd from proposal). This is lower than the existing daily traffic on Cootharaba Rd (see Appendix B), which currently has unsealed sections.

T1VO(l)U.U,K.A3l_ :l .99	Page 9

Therefore it is concluded that the only reasonable and relevant method for determining a contribution towards roadworks to alleviate the traffic impact of the subject proposal is to consider the site as an equivalent number of new residential lots and the applicant pay an equivalent reasonable and relevant h.eadworks charge for that number of lots (see Section 4.2.2 of this report).

Headwo1'ks Charges (Based on Equivalent Residential Lots)

The subject prop,Jsal would generate a maximum of 140vpd (see Section 3.2 of this report). Residemial lots (particularly those in rural areas) generate lOvpd/lot (due to the non-existence of nearby shops and facilities etc.).

Therefore the proposal generates traffic equivalent to 14 residential lots. It is therefore considered an appropriate condition of approval thi1t a headworks charge equivalent ro 14 times a residential lot (for that locality) be charged to compensate for the traffic imi1act of the proposal.

This contribution would fully compensate for the impact of tbe proposal and no other conditions in relation to external roadworks would be considered appropriate.

5.0  CONCLUSIONS

The subj, t proposal comprises the development of an eighteen (18) Hole Par 3 Go1f Course at Kabi Rd, Cootharaba.

The site will be promoted in the following manner:
to locals who enjoy a social game of golf and are unable to play at m,,re conventional courses, ie. Tewantin, Noosa Springs, Noosa V11lley; either because they are too expensive or booked out, etc;
to tourists who are just wanting a "fun" game: or who are unable to
book into one of the more convention.al courses; and
to  families where certain members play golf and the others play
tetmis, swim, or simply remain at the Club House.
It is not proposed that there will be any accommcdation element to the
complex.

5.3 Cootharal:ia Rd currently carries in the order of 300VJ:,d and will carry about 457vpd by the year 2009 (Design Horizon) without the subject proposal.

Patronage to the proposal can not be rigorously idc!D.tified, however it is likely that a maximum of between 75 and 230 visitors per day could visit the site (depending on the day of the week).

Average daily traffic generation associated with the proposal would be a maximum of 140vpd. 1bis would be from both staff a;xl visitors.

The proposed provision of 85 visitor parking spaces, 3 bus bays and a separate s:aff/overflow parking area is more than adc:quate to cater for the likely maJ<imum parking demand of 65 vehicles (including staft).

The propcsal would add approximately 70vpd to Cooth.arnba Rd (both north
and south of K.abi Rd).

A contribution to roadworks based on the "'brought forward" cost of upgrading roads/intersections in the locality can not be identified as Council does not have warrants for upgrading roads, and all intersections would operate well within acceptable limits.

An appropriate contnoution to be paid by the applicant (for the traffic impact of the proposal) has been determined to be 14 times the headworks charge (for roadworks) associated with a residential allotmr.nt in the locality. This is the c,nly reason.able and relevant condition of approval that could be imposed on che development and would fully cornpeusate for the traffic impact cf the proposal.

Provided all site works (parking areas etc.) are constructed to current Australian Standards, there are no traffic engineering reasons not to approve

the subject proposal.

KABI ROAD GOLF FARM
PROPOSED IRRIGATION SYSTE!\1

GENERAL
The proposed development is based on environmentally sustainable principlc:s and i!­ int nd d to	a Pcnnaculture dl·velopm nt.
The wnti.:r usage for irrii:ation on the site will be lh1: lo,,·cst possible: for this type of dc\'clopmcnt and will be a fraction of the water gen rally used in a golf course application. To achi v thit; low usage a comhination of methods arc to lK: udopti.. d. th includ :
Water harvesting ditches on contour. This ,,,minvolve the instal lntion of swnlcs along contour lini::s to allow for uny water gcnerat d by rainfall to be kept on site as long a possihlt' This Ill turn \\ill t'ncourngc pc:rcolation of watc:r deeper into th soil prolik This
water will in turn be harvested by tr c plantings adjacent to the swalcs. This method will also bcndil tht: overall nutrient managcm nl of th!.! site. These swalcs haw been included from tht: design stage and intc::gratcd into the Golf Course layout.

Mulching. All planted areas as sho,-.n on the dra,..ing will be mulched. This ,1rill n.-duce water usag and it is cn,isagt:d that one!! th trees arc established no irrigalion will oc
requirt:d in th-.:sc areas.

Golf Course: The golf course has l,..:cn designed for minimum irrigation and should use less than IO ·i, of the:: amount uf ,v,lter generally used on an 18 hole golf cours1.:. Some of the
dc ign principles used to achic,c this indudc:
Tht: use of turf species that require less water. The fairways will use a cornhination of native s <.:ies rather than the hybrid cou,ht:s generally in use on golf courses
day. This will result in 1-:onsidcrably rnort drought resistant turf that will require less mowing. The more specialised couch grasses will be used for the greens putting surface &:. tee top only.
No run oIT from irriiation. This inrnlvcs the use of low precipitation
sprinklers un th in ground irrigation on th\.· golf course grci::ns and tees. Th sc .sprinklers combined with good infiltration rates on the soils used and a highly fkxible irrigation cc,)ntrol system will make it possible to amid run off the irrigation system.
No pt:rmancnt irrigation of golf course: fairways. Tht.: only p()p up style irrigation
will
be for th golf course greens and tc:cs. Pro, ision will be mad for irrigation of landing areas should there be extended dry periods.
Automatic.irrigation. All irrigation will be capable of taking place automatically during lh1: nigh!. This avoid th significant loss of water through cYaporn1inn and wind drift. The irrigation c-Jntrol syskm proposed will be a "two way"' S)'Sl m capable or monitoring information suc.:h as rainfall, soil moisture etc.

WATER USAGE
The calculations for water usage have b cn based on available recorded weather data for th Cooroy and Tcwantin stations. The specific usage for the turf and plants is based on acceptable crop factors for the individual plant type and soil profile.

WATER SUPPLY
The preliminary water balance indicates that the volume required can be harvested from the	{ modilic:d lakes as shown on the Stomw,ater Management Plan.

The catchment within the property that would flow to 'the large lake in the north ca5t com r of the property is approximatcl) 20 Hectares. Ui\'en the an:rage rainfall for this region (Cooroy station) this will proridc potential of approximately 320,000 Cuhic Mctr s f'lt'T y ar. The lake has an area of approximately I 1 lectan: and a volume of approximately 18,000 Cubic Mctn s (this is based on the existing spillway level and could increase up lu 4,000 Cubic Metres if the lake spillway lnel is r.iiscd.)
It is intended that th main irrigation pump would be located at the pond adjacent to the 17th Green, with wat r being moved from any of the ponds or lakes on the site to the: pond at the l 7'h(irccn for pumping. The irri ation mains will be utilist:d for the transfer of wutcr between lakes.

The source of water for the irrigation \\ill be alternated to achieve the best management of water quality within the lake and JX)lld on th1: site.

INTRODUCTION

Jaeger Environmental has been engaged by Project Coordinators Gary Dillon and Associates, to address the terms of reference issued by the Department of Primary Industries in relation to this proposal.

The DPI have requested the provision of information relating to management of erosion and sediment; the location of existing water features and their fisheries resource values ; the nature and location of natural vegetation buffers ; and any proposal to modify dams or waterway which may prevent fish migration.

The proposal is to develop a permaculture designed organic orchard and golf farm on a property of about 89 ha. The site is bordered to the north by pine forest, to the east and south by native forest and to the west by a private home site. The proposal would be developed within 35 ha of existing cleared, in which there are four small stands of native vegetation. The remainder of the site is well vegetated and the proposal requires it to be maintained as a unique feature.

SITE DESCRIPTION

A low ridge which runs from east to west divides the site into two similar sized plots. The northern plot receives most of the sites runoff as it is fed by the pine plantation to the north of the property. Within this northern section three dams have been built, the water flow running west to east. The two western most dams are relatively small, whilst the dam bordering the north eastern comer of the site is approximately 1 ha in surface area.

A small dam also exists on the southern border of the cleared area, and takes most of the run off from the southern side of the low ridge. This dam seems to have been constructed several years ago, as a good portion of the tree cover not only grows along the dam wall, but also into the dam itself. The soil on site does vary, however it is generally a stony red loam over grey clay.

A system of swales controls the surface water run off and facilitates soil infiltration and vegetation uptake via the fruit trees growing along these swales. Excess water soaking into the soil currently recharges the ground water system. The proposed development plans to pump water from the large north eastern dam, to a dam near the centre of the property, where it will be used to irrigate the sites organic orchard and golf tees/ greens.

MATIERS OF INTEREST

Erosion and Sediment Management

The proposed development will address the issue of erosion and sediment control via a strategy of purpose designed swales and extensive grassed areas. In combination with this, a series of sedge strips will be cultivated at entry points of receiving dams to strip stormwater of any excess nutrients.

Existing waterways

There is no requirement to alter the location of existing waterway features. The existing swale holds and directs overland flow from rainfall to the large dam on the north eastern comer. During peak flows this dam discharges to the properties eastern boundary and into native vegetation.. There is no obvious creek line or riparian habitat linking the point of off site water.discharge to Lake Coothariba, which is located more than 1km to the east of the site.

Further to this, the proposals intention to operate as a viable permaculture centre requires the non use of chemicals and the maintenance of water quality at levels equal to or better than that which presently exist. Accordingly, the possibility of detrimental impacts occurring due to the application of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilisers is non-existent.

Finally, the sites small catchment area combined with the absence of any riparian areas within or adjacent to the property, suggest the site has little if any value as a fisheries resource area.

Vegetation Buffers

The undisturbed native forest to the east and south of the site, is to be retained in its current state. This vegetation will continue to provide an excellent buffer for surface water run off during periods of heavy rain.

Modifications to existing waterways

There is no requirement to modify dams and the site does not contain sufficient water resources or flow paths to facilitate fish migration.

DISCUSSION

Gambusia affinis* were common in the sites dams, while the aquatic plants were largely restricted to largest dam to the east. Sedges such as Philydrum tanuginosum and Nymphoides indica grew in the shallow edges of the dam, while the blue waterlily, Nymphaea caerulea* had colonised all but the deepest waters.

The water quality of the sites three largest dams was within ANZEC guidelines. All averaged a pH of 6.6, a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius , a total hardness of 5ppm and a secci disk reading of 600mm in the large bottom dam, and 300mm in the smaller dams. Mach equipment was used to test the aforementioned parameters.

* Introduced species.

CONCLUSIONS

The site does not support a permanent water flow, and there is no riparian link between the site and Lake Cootharaba, a fresh water body which is located in excess of 1 km to the east . as such, it is unlikely that the proposal will cause any detrimental impact to the regions valued fisheries resources.

NOOSA	Strategic Plan: Strategic Aims

27.

STRATEGIC AIMS

27.1.3  Aims

From the·· Strategic Vision, Strategic Aims are developed for ten land uses and planning issues.
Each set of Strategic Aims has a role in achieving the Shire Strategic Vision. Those roles are identified by statements regarding the character, lifestyle, environment and economics of the Shire.
All development should be consistent with the Strategic Aims.
AGRICULTURE
Character, Lifestyle & Environment Role
Agriculture is an important part of the rural heritage of the Shire and an integral contributor to the character of the Shire's hinter1and11.n. The retention of agricultural activities, particular1y in those areas where farming activities have been the traditional use and where environmental impacts may be successfully managed will assist the agricultural sector's role in defining the character of the Shire.
Factors such as poor land management, poor management of fertiliser applications and inappropriate land clearing associated with agriculture have the potential to cause environmental harm through erosion, loss of significant habitat, visual scarring of significant landscapes or unacceptable impacts on downstream land or on surface and groundwaters. The potential environmental impacts of rural activities should be significant factors in determining land's suitability for agricultural use, with the goal of ensuring the sustainable use· of the Shire's agricultural resources.
In lifestyle terms, agriculture is also a significant contributor, with part time, small scale though often high value operations, serving as an attractor to the rural areas.
Economic Role
Agriculture is an important contributor to the Shire's economy. The maintenance of an economically viable agricultural sector will require recognition of and response to changes to traditional markets and the emergence of new markets. Growth areas within the industry are expected to be in the areas of farm forestry,
I	macadamias, sugar cane, small scale specialised
ycrops and agricultural tourism. Economic performance can also be enhanced by providing opportunities for value-adding to occur, before agricultural produce leaves the farm gate.
Conserve good quality agricultural land• by preventing encroachment or alienation by incompatible land uses.
Encourage the ongoing, productive use of good quality agricultural land for sustainable agricultural development.
Recognise that sustainable agriculture operates on land not identified as good quality agricultural land and protect that agriculture from encroachment or alienation by incompatible land uses.
Where there is uncertainty about the likely effect of a land use on a sustainable agriculture or good quality agricultural land, ensure that protection of the agriculture or conservation of the good quality agricultural land prevails.
Encourage agriculture to adhere to the Strategic Principles and Development Principles.
Encourage the adoption of environmentally sustainable land management practices that ensure that agricultural development does not impact on surrounding or downstream environments or environmental processes.
BUSINESS, RETAIL & ADMINISTRATIVE
DEVELOPMENT
Character, Lifestyle & Environment Role
Business, retail and administrative developments are used on a day to day basis by residents of and visitors to the Shire. The character and feel of the establishments in which business, retail and administrative functions are conducted is therefore a significant influence on resident and visitor perception of the Shire.
Features such as human scale, development integrated with surrounding built form and landscape fabric, visual relationships between indoor spaces and outdoor spaces, low key informal atmospheres, low stress traffic environments play a key role in characterising business, retail and administrative developments in Noosa Shire. These features are recognised and sought by the Noosa Shire community.
The features described in 27.2.1.2 distinguish business, retail and administrative
Idevelopments in Noosa Shire from other such	I
developments in Sunshine Coast and south-east	' Queensland areas.11

Good quality agricultural land is a defined term. refer to page 8.	I

h:lsttalegic plan'qezetted.doc	Gazetted &9197	Strategic Aims Page 163

The economy of the village is supplemented by its:-
Service role to the surrounding community, due to the distance to Pomona and the coastal area of the Shire for residents within the eastern part of the locality.
Location on Lake Cootharaba and the associated water-based recreational activities.
Location close to Elanda Point and the Great Sandy National Park.
Appeal to visitors and daytrippers, with its hotel, sailing club, special events and attractive setting.
Residents of the locality outside of the villages of Kin Kin or Boreen Point and the immediate surrounds are drawn by:-
The agricultural opportunities available in the locality. Historically, the area has a rich agricultural background and considerable opportunity exists for expansion of this sector within the Kin Kin/Cootharaba/Boreen Point locality.
The opportunities for a rural retreat lifestyle in bushland settings remote from urban services. The low level of convenience, accessibility and servicing available in the area offers the opportunity to preserve this lifestyle, as the remote setting of the locality constrains the extent and type of rural settlement which may occur.
10.4	INTENT
The Kin Kin/Cootharaba/Boreen Point locality will retain its remote setting, small scale rural villages and agricultural focus. Whilst improvements to the roads and standards of services available in the locality will be made, the low levels and distribution of population, the rugged terrain in the central and western parts of the locality and the biophysical constraints on land in the eastern part of the locality, will result in the area remaining relatively remote, ensuring the rural and bushland character and lifestyle enjoyed by residents will be retained. A resident population around 2,050 persons may be expected.
In order to ensure an appropriate level of service is available to the residents of the locality and to consolidate the roles served by Kin Kin and Boreen Point, these villages will remain the only urban focal points in the locality. As a consequence, these villages will also support the only urban residential development in the locality.
Whilst both villages will remain small, provision is made for the expansion of urban boundaries.
In Kin Kin, this expansion will include additional residential development in the village and areas close to it, as well as business and industry uses. The focus for business and industry development will be on catering to the needs of the residents of the area and providing for locally-based employment.
In Boreen Point, the expansion will include residential development in the village, as well as business uses. The primary focus for the business uses will be on catering to the needs of the residents, however it will also have focus on recreation and visitor needs. Boreen Point's special character, derived from its lakeside setting, foreshore, building designs, low . levels of infrastructure and lack of commercialism will be retained.
New residential allotments within both villages will exceed 1000m2 in order to maintain rural village character. Problems with the on-site disposal of effluent may necessitate significantly larger allotment sizes.
The primary economic activity across the locality will be agriculture, which is also expected to generate a significant component of direct and indirect employment. Significant areas of the locality have potential for increased agricultural production. In areas where environmental impacts will not arise or may be adequately controlled, it is intended to protect land for agricultural purposes. Where amenity impacts will not arise, it is also intended to encourage appropriate value-adding on the site of agricultural production. The provision of additional land for industrial purposes within the village of Kin Kin may also assist.
Other major economic activities in the locality will be related to its extractive resources and recreation potential.
Parts of three major extractive deposits are intended for protection from land uses which would impact or potentially impact on the utilisation of those resources. Conversely, the potential for resource utilisation to adversely impact the sensitive environments of the locality is also high. Preventing such impacts and mitigating the effects of such impacts will be important considerations in the assessment of any new extractive industry, changes to any existing industry and the rehabilitation of extractive industries.

h:\strategic p/an'<}azatted.doc	Gazetted 51919 l	Kin Kin/Cootharaba/Boreen Point Locality Page 64

Protection of the key economic resources of the locality, particularly agriculture, extractive resources and the recreation potential derived from the locality's environmental values and its picturesque setting.
	Encouragement for low impact, short stay visitor facilities, in the fonm of fanmstay and bed and breakfast accommodation, particularly focused on Kin Kin and Boreen Point.
	Protection of Cootharaba Road north, Galloways Lane, Junction Road, Louis Bazzo Drive, Main Street, M°Kinnon Drive and Pomona-Kin Kin-Gympie Road, as State controlled roads or corridors and as parts or potential parts of the Shire's major road network.
	Protection of Cootharaba Road south, Dr Pages Road, part of Kinmond Creek Road and Sister Tree Creek Road, as parts of the Shire's major road network.
	Protection of the many vistas from the major road corridors through the locality, which reinforce the its recreational potential.
	Protection and maintenance of the natural core values of the Noosa River and lake system.
	Maintenance and improvement of the water quality standards in the waterways of the locality, particularly Lake Cootharaba, Kin Kin Creek and Cooloothin Creek.
	Protection of major open network space links comprising:-
	Great Sandy National Park;
	The lowlands and wetlands around Lake Cootharaba, Kin Kin Creek and Cooloothin Creek;
	Riparian corridors adjacent to Kin Kin Creek, Kinmond Creek, Sandy Creek, Banyan Creek, Eulama Creek, Sister Tree Creek, Pender Creek and Scrubby Creek.
	Ringtail State Forest to Lake Cootharaba and the Noosa River; and
	The  vegetated  ranges  systems  of  Mothar
	Mountain/Mount	Boulder, Wahpunga Ranges.
Kin
	Kin	andRecreation potential in the locality is significant and the maintenance of the locality's picturesque setting and environmental values will enhance this potential. Principal focus for recreation activities will be on:-
The Great Sandy National Park, which could be expanded to include lowland areas to the west of Lake Cootharaba and along Kin Kin Creek to improve recreation and education opportunities. The rehabilitation of the Kin Kin scrubs is a significant recreation and environmental outcome which could be pursued.
Lake Cootharaba, where sailing and other non­ motorised boating events are a particular feature.
Daytripping through the Shire's hinterland, where the villages of Kin Kin and Boreen Point area will be primary destinations in this locality.
The recreation potential of the locality will provide opportunities for low impact, short stay visitor facilities, in the form of farmstay and bed and breakfast accommodation, particularly focussed on the rural villages of Kin Kin and Boreen Point.
The size of urban lots in the village of Kin Kin and those of the rural area of the locality provide opportunities for home-based businesses. Such businesses can assist in providing local employment opportunities and diversifying the local economy and are encouraged in areas where the businesses will not impact on the environment or the amenity of surrounding areas.
Environmental values across the Kin Kin/Cootharaba/Boreen Point locality warrant protection, with some areas already protected within the Great Sandy National Park and the Cooloothin Conservation Park. Other values have also been recognised in the State Forests, Lake Cootharaba, Cooloothin Creek, Kin Kin Creek and its many tributaries and the vegetated range and valley systems which traverse the locality. Many of these values have been identified in studies which support this Plan.

Maintenance of Kin Kin and Boreen Point as discrete, rural villages with traditional rural village character and defined boundaries.
	Reinforcing the service role of Kin Kin and Boreen Point by limiting urban development to these villages only and encouraging the development of appropriate businesses and employment opportunities.
	Provision for limited expansion and consolidation of the urban residential area of Kin Kin,. and the provision for rural settlement close to town.
	Provision for minor expansion and consolidation of the urban residential area of Boreen Point.

Extractive Resource Aims
Protect the Shire's significant extractive resources1' such that they are available for Mure use by preventing development in areas which could result in land use conflicts occurring, whether or not those conflicts relate to the extractive industry or ancillary functions associated with the utilisation of the resource.
Consider the value of less significant extractive resources, when assessing planning applications which might affect their potential for utilisation.1'
Ensure that extractive industry development adheres to the Strategic Principles and Development Principles
. 27.5.4.4 Minimise environmental and amenity impacts of resource extraction by requiring best practice environmental management.
Ensure that haul routes associated with extractive resources:-
Are located on roads where the haul route will minimise adverse impacts on residential or rural residential amenity;
Are located on roads which are of adequate construction or which may be upgraded as part of the utilisation of the extractive resource; and
Are adequately maintained as a part of the utilisation of the extractive resource.
Ensure the utilisation of any extractive resource does not result in adverse visual impacts from major roads•.
Ensure the rehabilitation of extractive industry sites, prior to or in conjunction with land use changes on the site of the resource or within buffers to the resource.
RECREATION
Character, Lifestyle & Environment Role
Many of the Shire's recreational opportunities are focused on its natural core values, such as the beaches, waterways, National Parks and the climate. Maintenance of these values is therefore of importance in the retention of the Shire's quality of life.
The recreational opportunities available in Noosa Shire are an important element of the Shire's attraction to residents and visitors. Recreational opportunities relate strongly to the outdoors, where the continued provision of recreational opportunities which are focussed on the Shire's natural appeal is therefore fundamental to maintenance of the lifestyle of residents and the attraction of visitors.
Recreational opportunities also relate strongly to the Shire's cultural heritage. Appreciation of the Shire's heritage, its Aboriginal and European history and its landscape, is reflected in the lifestyles and interests of its residents and in the work of architects, artists, authors, designers and the like.
Economic Role
The provision of quality recreational opportunities focussed on the Shire's natural core \..--­ values is directly related to the performance of the Shire's tourism sector and consequently the Shire's economic well-being.
Aims
Encourage the development of a range of recreational facilities which are directly related to the Shire's natural core values and which are focussed on outdoor themes and the Shire's cultural heritage.
Ensure that recreational development and activities do not !:idversely impact on the Shire's natural core values or reduce the quality of recreational experience provided by the Shire's natural resources.
Ensure that adequate land is made available in suitable locations for recreation for active and passive purposes.
Ensure that recreational development adheres to the Strategic Principles and Development Principles.
RESIDENTIAL
Character, Lifestyle & Environment Role
The Shire's core values are a major element of attraction to those who have chosen the Shire as a place to live. Residential environments have a significant role in the maintenar,ce of those core values.12-11
In urban areas, the predominant land uses are residential. The impact of development for residential purposes on the Shire's natural resources, open space and clean environment, as well as the degree to which development is integrated with the landform and landscape will have a significant bearing on residents' perceptions of the place they live, ·the Shire's character and environment and residents' lifestyle.10- 12,.,. 211
Population analyses based on the urban commitments made in association with the 1985-96 Planning Scheme indicate ample capacity to accommodate the Shire's projected population to at least the year 2011.21 As a consequence, the expansion of urban boundaries beyond those defined by the 1988-96 Strategic Plan is not necessary, assisting the protection of the Shire's core values.

Report- Proposed Kabi Road Golf Farm Development
►
Where amenity impacts will not arise, it is also intended to encourage appropriate
value-adding on the site of the agricultural production (10.4).
►
The recreational potential of the locality will provide opportunities for low impact, short stay visitor facilities, in the form of farm stay and bed and breakfast accommodation,
particularly focussed on the rural villages of Kin Kin and Boreen Point (10.4).
