ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                                 20 MAY 2021

  Second, the solutions proposed are inadequate as the report suggests
 (i) offset planting at a ratio of 8:1 of these Favoured Feed Trees on an alternative site, which
 does not account for the 8 - 10 years before these trees will germinate any fruit.
 (it) does not take into account the progressive decline in the current available food sources
 following the Peregian and Cooroibah Fires in 2019 and 2020, and progressive destruction of
 cockatoo habitat from the Noosa Civic, Noosa Junction Coles Development, Noosa Springs,
  Settlers Cove, The J, Cooloola Estate, the Tennis Club, the Nac, the Flexi Learning Centre,
  Sunshine Beach State Primary & High Schools, St Thomas More. Bicentennial Hall, to name
 a few. All of this has led to a Fussy Vulnerable Glossy Black-Cockatoo fragmented habitat.
 Our local Glossy Wamiors have all seen what happens when Glossies lose their feeding
 habitat & human population increases at Pinaroo Park. a favoured watering hole the Glossies
 left never to return. Our Glossies have nowhere to run.
  (iii) does not account for the close proximity of the current site to fresh water sources that are
  utilised daily by the Glossy Black Cockatoos and their young. This habitat is close to the breeding
 grounds which is indicated by the Glossy Black-Cockatoos bringing their newly fledged juveniles here
  using it like a nursery.
 (iv) the Developer is non-compliant with the public consultation requirement in the Plan as
 the public webinar recording was not made publicly available, questions and answers were
 not supplied to any of the Glossy Team Sunrise members who asked, and Blue Care now
 ignores contact from the peak community organisation acting as a vehicle for these concerns.
 Community engagement for this program has been continually shifting as Blue Care /
 Lendlease and the various arms of the Uniting Church shifts responsibilities but never truly
 engages with the community.
 We trust that Noosa Council will listen to the Sunrise Beach community and act appropriately by
 engaging with the Uniting Church / Blue Care to address these concerns.
 Yours Sincerely,
