REPORT
The purpose of this report is to inform Council of the Branch activities for the financial period

The Building and Plumbing Branch has the responsibility for regulatory and statutory compliance

     facilities and other infrastructure
                       To provide building inspection and asset management support for Council owned buildings
                       To project manage relevant capital works activities
                       To meet financial targets with respect to revenue and expenditure

This report presents the Branch functions and activities as three components; core functions
(building and plumbing applications); building, plumbing and electrical maintenance; and capital
works and projects.

2.    BUILDING AND PLUMBING CORE ACTIVITIES

During the second quarter of 2015/2016 financial performance for building and plumbing revenue
is slightly lower than estimated, this is due to an outstanding adjustment of plumbing
maintenance recoveries funding and a lower level of plumbing applications.

As can be seen by the above analysis, the net position for Building Services demonstrates an
improvement on financial targets with respect to ‘Core Activities’. The above expenditure also
includes Customer Service Obligation costs of approximately $132,000 (Community Service
obligation around 23% of total budget) reflecting the provision of general advice and
management of complaints by customers which do not attract any fee revenue

PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                     1 MARCH 2016


REPORT
1.    BACKGROUND

An application to create 2 lots (the Bunning’s site and the area of land between Old Gateway
Drive and Gateway Drive), new road reserve (to encompass the new roadworks) and a “Park”
along part of the Eumundi Noosa Road frontage was approved on 15 March 2012.

Due to the extensive amount of earthworks undertaken within the sites during the construction of
the “Bunnings” a condition (Condition 9) was included on this approval to obtain certification of
the earthworks to address the uncontrolled fill on this site.

9     Certification of the earthworks undertaken on the lots provided by a RPEQ must be
      submitted to Council prior to the sealing of the survey plan. The certification must include:
      (a) Certification that the works have been undertaken in accordance with the provisions
             of AS 3798 ‘Guidelines on Earthworks for Commercial and Residential Development’
      (b)   Test results as required by AS 3798,
      (c)   Certification of the quality and uniformity of the materials.

2.    PROPOSED CHANGE

The intention of the subject change application is to provide an alternative to complying with the
original condition by creating a covenant that makes reference to a geotechnical report that
includes recommendations for foundations and construction methods (Attachment A).

3.    ASSESSMENT

To address Condition 9 the applicant engaged a geotechnical engineer to test the site
(specifically Lot 102 as the building on Lot 101 was complete). It was apparent after the testing
that to comply with the condition the developer would need to excavate a significant amount of
material (uncontrolled fill) from the site. The geotechnical report concluded that the developer
could either remove it completely from the site or sort the material by removing unsuitable
material and reinstating suitable material. It is expected that in either scenario the developer
would need to import material. The reinstated material would also need to be compacted and
supervised in accordance with the relevant standard.

To seek a resolution the developer and his engineer/builder met with Council Officers to discuss
the options. During this meeting the engineer/builder indicated that sites like this could be built on
by using specific construction methods without the need to remove the uncontrolled fill from the
site. The engineer/builder advised that this type of construction method was used to construct the
adjoining “Bunnings” and carpark area. This type of design and construction is significantly more
expensive than on a “standard” lot. The creation of the covenant would therefore advise
prospective purchasers of the site conditions. The outcome of the meeting was for Council to
consider whether a covenant option in the condition would suitably address the concerns.

It is normally expected that a site of this type is suitable for its intended use without the need for
additional works but given this site’s location and size it is considered that the covenant provides
a reasonable alternative to removing the uncontrolled fill as it significantly reduces the amount of
works required to develop the site and permits further development of the site in a controlled
manner.




                                                                                      Page 18 of 79

PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   1 MARCH 2016


4.    CONCLUSION
The general principle of the covenant provides an alternative to removing the uncontrolled fill and
permits further development of the site in a controlled manner that does not destabilise the site
and provides for stability for the development into the future.

      report by Douglas Partners dated 7 September 2015 reference “Report on Geotechnical
      Investigation 178 Eumundi-Noosa Road, Noosaville”.
      At the time of application for building works and/or associated earthworks, the applicant
      must provide certification from a suitably qualified geotechnical engineer stating that the
      proposed works are in accordance with the Douglas Partners report.
      The covenant will be prepared by the applicant and lodged with the Council prior to release
      of the survey plan for this approval for perusal by the Council’s solicitor at the cost of the
      applicant.

 Dear Sirs,

 Report on Geotechnical Investigation
 178 Eumundi-Noosa Road, Noosaville

 1.    Introduction

 This report presents the results of a geotechnical investigation carried out by Douglas Partners Pty Ltd
 (DP) to assess the condition of existing filling at 178 Eumundi-Noosa Road, Noosaville described as
 Lot 102 on SP279285.

 It is understood that the site forming part of Lot 102 on SP279285 is subject to a reconfiguration of lot
 subdivision dividing current Lot 102 on SP279285 into two lots.

 The investigation comprised the drilling of five bores followed by engineering assessment and
 reporting. Details of the field work are presented in this report, together with comments on construction
 for future development on the site and identifies the geotechnical requirements necessary to achieve
 long term stability.

 This report must be read in conjunction with the attached notes entitled ‘About this Report’ together
 with any other explanatory notes and should be kept in its entirety without separation of individual
 pages or sections.

 2.    Field Work Methods

 The field work was carried out on 29 June 2015 and comprised the drilling of five bores. The bore
 locations were set out with reference to site features, with locations recorded using a hand held GPS.
 The approximate bore locations are indicated on the attached drawing.

 The bores were drilled using a 4WD mounted Jacro 200 drilling rig using continuous flight augers fitted
 with a tungsten carbide (TC) bit. Dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) tests were carried out adjacent
 and within the bores in order to assess the relative density and strength consistency of the subsurface
 soils. Strata identification was undertaken through observation of cutting returns and recovered

 samples. On completion, the bores were observed for groundwater seepage and then backfilled with
 spoil tamped into the holes.

 The field work was undertaken by experienced geotechnical personnel who logged the bores,
 collected disturbed samples for visual and tactile assessment.

 3.     Field Work Results

 The subsurface conditions encountered in the bores are described in detail on the attached borehole
 logs. In summary the subsurface conditions encountered in the bores typically comprised filling to
 between 4.1 m and 5.9 m depth. The filling typically comprised a gravelly sandy clay overlying a sandy
 clay which was in turn underlain by a silty clay in Bores 2, 3, and 5.   The filling was underlain by
 natural sandy then silty clays.

 No groundwater seepage was observed during the investigation; however, it should be noted that
 groundwater depths and ground moisture conditions are affected by climatic conditions and soil
 permeability, and will therefore vary with time.

 4.     Comments

 4.1   Appreciation of Ground Conditions

 DP previously carried out geotechnical investigations on the site in 2006 and 2008. In the area of the
 site, uncompacted to poorly compacted filling with foreign material (ie. bricks, timber, steel sheeting,
 steel pieces, tree roots) was encountered up to 4.7 m depth. As mentioned above, filling was
 encountered to between 4.1 m and 5.9 m depth in the recent bores. The near surface filling
 encountered in the bores at the time of this investigation appear to be clean of any foreign, deleterious
 material or topsoil material rich in organics or root matter. Any organics or foreign material including
 concrete, plastic, wire and bricks encountered within the recent bores was encountered typically in the
 sandy clay filling material below 1    m depth consistent with the ‘uncontrolled’ filling previously
 encountered.

 The settlement of ‘uncontrolled’ filling cannot be reliably predicted as it is unknown whether the filling
 has been placed and uniformly compacted to an appropriate engineering standard. The presence of
 voids within the ‘uncontrolled’ filling as well as potential soft/loose zones or inclusions of deleterious
 materials may lead to potentially significant settlements, with possible large settlement over short
 distances (ie. differential settlements) where looser pockets occur in the filling.

 4.2    Recommendations for Future Construction

 Given the above, future development on the site will need to be planned, designed and constructed in
 accordance    with sound   and   proper engineering    principles, and  more   specifically take  into
 consideration the potential long term settlement or creep of the ‘uncontrolled’ filling.

  178 Eumundi-Noosa Road, Noosaville                                                     September 2015

  If future building development on the site is to be fully suspended founding beneath the ‘uncontrolled’
  filling and into natural soils using a deep foundation system and suspended slab, the existing
  uncontrolled filling could be left in place not requiring any further works to reduce potential surface
  movement. The deep foundation system should be design in accordance with AS 2159-2009 “Piling —
  Design and Installation’,

  However, if slab on-ground or pavement construction is required, remove all ‘uncontrolled’ filling and
  sort to remove unsuitable materials and reinstate the excavation with the ‘clean’ sorted filling
  compacted in layers under ‘Level 1’ inspection and testing. This approach would allow for building
  loads to supported on high level footings founded in the new ‘controlled’ engineered filling.

  All earthworks should be carried out in accordance with AS 3798-2007 “Guidelines on Earthworks for
  Commercial and Residential Developments”. The above procedures will require geotechnical
  inspection and testing services to be employed during construction. DP is suitably qualified to conduct
  earthworks inspection and testing services that will be required during any earthworks construction.

  Provided future development on the site is undertaken using the above recommendations along with
  good engineering practice, the site would be considered stable for the intended purpose.

  It is recommended that prior to the finalisation of the specifics of any future development on the site,
  the proposed details of that development should be checked by DP to check against the
  recommendations made in this report and to confirm that the proposed development conforms with
  these recommendations.

  We trust that the above is satisfactory for your current needs. Should you have any questions or
  require any further clarification on this matter, please contact the undersigned at our Sunshine Coast
  office.

  Yours faithfully

About this Report

Site Anomalies
In the event that conditions encountered on site
during construction appear to vary from those
which   were   expected   from   the _ information
contained in the report, DP requests that it be
immediately notified.  Most problems are much
more   readily  resolved  when    conditions  are
exposed rather than at some later stage, well after
the event.

Information for Contractual Purposes
Where information obtained from this report is
provided    for   tendering   purposes,    it   is
recommended that all information, including the
written report and discussion, be made available.
In  circumstances    where   the   discussion  or
comments section is not relevant to the contractual
situation, it may be appropriate to prepare a
specially edited document. DP would be pleased
to assist in this regard and/or to make additional
report copies available for contract purposes at a
nominal charge.

Site Inspection
The company will always be pleased to provide
engineering inspection services for geotechnical
and environmental aspects of work to which this
report is related. This could range from a site visit
to  confirm  that  conditions  exposed   are   as
expected, to full time engineering presence on
site.

                                                                                               July 2010

Sampling Methods

The results of the SPT tests can be related
empirically to the engineering properties of the
soils.

Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Tests /
Perth Sand Penetrometer Tests
Dynamic penetrometer tests (DCP or PSP) are
carried out by driving a steel rod into the ground
using a standard weight of hammer falling a
specified distance. As the rod penetrates the soil
the number of blows required to penetrate each
successive 150 mm depth are recorded. Normally
there is a depth limitation of 1.2 m, but this may be
extended in certain conditions by the use of
extension rods.  Two types of penetrometer are
commonly used.
e   Perth sand penetrometer - a 16 mm diameter
    flat ended rod is driven using a 9 kg hammer
    dropping 600 mm (AS 1289, Test 6.3.3). This
    test was developed for testing the density of
    sands and is mainly used in granular soils and
    filling.
e   Cone penetrometer - a 16 mm diameter rod
    with a 20 mm diameter cone end is driven
    using a 9 kg hammer dropping 510 mm (AS
    1289, Test 6.3.2).  This test was developed
    initially for pavement subgrade investigations,
    and correlations of the test results with
    California Bearing Ratio have been published
    by various road authorities.

Soil Descriptions

Soil Origin
It is often difficult to accurately determine the origin
of a soil. Soils can generally be classified as:
e    Residual soil - derived from in-situ weathering
    of the underlying rock;
e   Transported soils - formed somewhere else
    and transported by nature to the site; or
e — Filling - moved by man.
Transported soils may be further subdivided into:
e — Alluvium - river deposits
e    Lacustrine - lake deposits
e   Aeolian - wind deposits
e    Littoral - beach deposits
e —_ Estuarine - tidal river deposits
e   Talus - scree or coarse colluvium
e    Slopewash    or   Colluvium   -_  transported
    downslope    by  gravity  assisted  by  water.
    Often includes angular rock fragments and
    boulders.

    4.    The ancillary shop, restaurant/cafe, multi-function room, gym and other ancillary
          facilities shall be operated and maintained as a Resort. A letting pool service
          promoting and managing short term accommodation must also be established on site
          and made available to all owners of multiple dwelling units. The community
          management statement for any or all bodies corporate having control of the Resort or
          any part thereof shall incorporate this condition.
          Where the development is staged, the common resort facilities must be completed
          and operational with the first stage.
    5.    The open space and setback areas are to be landscaped in accordance with
          Council’s Policy on Landscaping Guidelines, the Bushfire Management Plan for the
          site and a properly prepared landscape plan prepared by a suitably qualified
          Landscape Architect or Horticulturalist. Such landscaping is to be completed prior to
          the premises being occupied and maintained at all times thereafter and shall include:
             Planting of koala and glossy black cockatoo feed trees;
             Tall canopy trees throughout the site (exclusive of any fire buffer areas) to
               assist in visually integrating the development into its landscape setting, partially
               screen buildings, and reduce visual building bulk.
             Screen planting along the site’s frontage to Resort Drive, which includes mature
               planting.
    6.    Existing trees on the site and within road reserves are to be retained, except where

          vegetation or existing trees to be retained and demonstrate vegetation retention on
          site and to the Resort Drive frontage to provide filtered views of the development.
    8.    The development’s external colour scheme shall use muted environmental tones of
          browns, greens and greys to integrate the development with its landscape setting and
          ensure the development does not visually impact on the vegetated skyline. Detailed
          plans shall be submitted and written Council approval obtained prior to
          commencement of the development.
    12.   The applicant must submit a revised Bushfire Management Plan for the development
          which reflects the approved plans and demonstrates compliance with The Noosa
          Plan’s requirements for bushfire and the provisions of the State Planning Policy July
          2014 in regard to hazard level.
    23.   Vehicular access driveways to serve the development shall be constructed from the

          a)     there is no net increase in 1 year ARI peak stormwater flows from the site; and
          b)     the discharge of stormwater from the site does not affect the approved design
                 residence time of the Noosa Springs Golf Course lake system.
    48.   All stormwater drainage shall be collected and discharged in a manner to ensure no
          harm to the receiving natural and built environments.
    49.   Stormwater run-off must be treated to prevent prescribed water contaminants and
          nutrients discharging from any part of the site at concentrations that are likely to
          cause cyanobacteria, algal outbreak or other adverse reaction within the Noosa
          Springs Golf Course lake system or other receiving waters.
          The application for Operational Works must include a Water Quality Management
          Plan submitted to the Council for approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit
          for Operational Works.
          Where stormwater runoff from the site will enter the Noosa Springs Lake System, the
          Water Quality Management Plan must be endorsed by an aquatic scientist or
          equivalent expert in the field of water quality management, and include the following
          information:
          MUSIC Modelling and calculations to demonstrate that concentrations of Total
          Nitrogen, Total Phosphorous and prescribed water contaminants at risk of occurring
          in runoff from the developed site will be no more than pre-development concentration,
          or be of a concentration that is compatible to the water quality needs of the lake
          system.
          Monitoring protocol to confirm that any nutrients or prescribed water contaminants at
          risk of runoff from the development site is not responsible for adverse water quality
          matters within the Noosa Springs Lake System.
          Where waters will bypass the Noosa Springs Lake System, the Water Quality
          Management Plan must include calculations certified by an RPEQ to demonstrate the
          following will be achieved:
               the design residence times of the Noosa Springs Golf Course lake system are
                 maintained;

REPORT
1.   PROPOSAL
The applicant seeks to change an existing development permit for a Material Change of Use for a
Resort of 155 Multiple Dwelling Units & Associated Facilities (Theatre, Restaurant, Shops &
Function Rooms) on the site. The applicant describes the changes as:
   General redesign of building layouts and siting of buildings to increase efficiency and
     viability of the development;
   Minor redesign of site entry, visitor parking areas and communal building/recreation areas;
   Consolidation of non-residential components including a convenience store,
     café/restaurant, and gym/playground/pool/BBQ area in a central location;
   Removal of the theatre and function room components of the development.
The proposal will require consequential changes to conditions to reflect the amended site layout
and updated building number references. We request that Council also amend conditions to
require updated floor plans and elevations to be submitted prior to operational works stage.
We note that condition 4 of the development approval requires the ancillary uses ie. shop,
restaurant, theatre, function rooms to be operated and maintained as a Resort. Further, this
condition requires a letting pool be established on site and made available to all owners of
multiple dwelling units.
We note that it is likely that some permanent residential accommodation will occur on the site,
however it is still intended to operate the ancillary uses ie. convenience store, café/restaurant,
gym and outdoor recreation areas as part of an integrated residential/resort facility.
The current approved development plans are included as Attachment 1 and the proposed new
plans as Attachment 2. A comparison of key layout and perspective plans from the existing and
proposed developments are shown in Figures 1 – 4 below.
The application is before Council due to the scale and significance of the development.




                                                                                       Page 43 of 79

SITE DETAILS
1.1. Background
The site is located within Precinct F of the Noosa Springs development at Leslie Drive, Noosa
Heads. Noosa Springs is a master planned residential golf resort, with most development on the
site completed. The subject resort site and an adjoining multiple dwelling site (Precinct E2) have
remained undeveloped and were recently purchased by the applicant.

On the 30 August 2007 Council approved the application for a Material Change of Use - Resort
of 155 Multiple Dwelling Units & Associated Facilities (Theatre, Restaurant, Shops & Function
Rooms), which was assessed under the Superseded Planning Scheme.

Representations were then made, and on the 5 November 2007 Council agreed to amend or
delete 18 of the 102 total conditions pertaining to the development.

On 6 April 2011 an extension to the currency period of the approval for 4 years to 1 November
2015 was agreed.

On 10 September 2015 an extension to the currency period of the approval for 2 years to 1
November 2017 was agreed.

                                                                                   Page 45 of 79

Section 46

PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   1 MARCH 2016


1.2. Site Description
The site is a 4.262ha irregularly shaped allotment located on the western slopes of a high dune
on the eastern side of the Noosa Springs development and has a frontage to Resort Drive of
approximately 315 metres. Most of the site was used as a sand quarry in the past and the terrain
varies from gentle slopes on the quarry floor to very steep slopes on the excavated batters.
Undisturbed ground surrounding the quarry slopes moderately, averaging roughly 12-15%.
A band of mature open forest is present around the extremities of the quarry area, varying in
width from 10 to 30m along Resort Drive and containing some mature trees. Native vegetation is
also found along the ridgeline of the escarpment to the eastern boundary, adjacent the car park
and Resort Drive to the north. Species present include koala feed trees and koalas have been
observed in the area by Noosa Springs residents, though the site is excluded from the State’s
koala habitat mapping.
The site is bounded by Council land to the east, the Noosa Springs clubhouse to the northwest
and Residential Precincts E1 to the west and Residential Precinct E2 to the south. Precinct E1
has been developed for 42 multiple dwelling units, with Precinct E2 subject to a current
development application for 44 units (MCU15/0109). The Noosa Heads sewerage treatment
plant is located to the north of the site, with land further to the south of the site being National
Park adjacent Lake Weyba. A 3 metre wide pathway reserve runs along the eastern boundary
and is the subject of a current Operational Works application to complete a new pathway
required by the Council subdivision approval that created the subject lot.
Aerial photographs of the site and its surrounds are shown in Figures 5 & 6 below.

2.   STATUTORY PROCESS
The proposed change to the development approval requested by the applicant is determined to
constitute a permissible change in accordance with S367 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009
on the grounds that:
   The change would not result in a substantially different development. Whilst the proposed
     amendments removes a number of the development’s resort components, reduces overall
     gross floor area by 4,379m2 (-20%) and increases population density by 65 persons
     (+18.2%) the nature and overall scale of the development is not considered to be
     substantially different. Further assessment of the changes is included in Section 3.1 of this
     report.
   The changes do not trigger a new referral to the State Assessment and Referral Agency.
   The original development application was impact assessable and did not attract any public
     submissions. The changes do not introduce significant new aspects (such as increases in
     height or scale, changes in development footprint or different uses) likely to cause persons
     to make submissions on reasonable grounds ; and
   The changes do not involve prohibited development.
The application was referred to the Department of Infrastructure, Local Government & Planning
to seek its views in relation to the State concurrence agency requirements applying to the
existing approval. The Department responded on 19 January 2016 advising it has no objection to
the changes.
The application was also referred to Unitywater because the approval includes water and sewer
conditions. Unitywater advised on 20 January 2016 it had no objection to the changes and the
existing water and sewer conditions can be maintained.

                                                                                   Page 47 of 79

3.   ASSESSMENT


3.1. Applicant’s Requested Changes
An assessment of the applicant’s requested changes is provided below.
Condition 2 – Approved Plans
2.   Development undertaken in accordance with this approval must generally comply with the
     approved plans of development. The approved plans are listed below and are as amended
     by the conditions herein.
       Plan No.           Rev.    Plan/Document Name                             Date
       OGSS-001-01        G       Site Plan Stage 2                              18/9/14

       …. [continues]

Applicant’s Request
The applicant requests endorsement of the 12 amended proposal plans for the development.
Copies of the current approved plans and new proposal plans are included as Attachments 1 &
2. In relation to the test under the Sustainable Planning Act as to whether the change is
permissible, the applicant submitted:
… the proposal results in only 1 less dwelling compared to the approval and the access layout is
broadly consistent with the approved layout.
The revised plans result in a reduction in overall GFA of approximately 4,401m2 or 20%. Whilst
the reduction in GFA is significant, it is does not result in “substantially different development”,
particularly when considered in context with the overall changes.
Similarly, whilst the changed proposal results in an additional 65 persons (equating to an
increase of about 15 people per hectare), this change is not considered to result in “substantially
different development”.
Furthermore, the bulk, massing and scale of the proposed development remains broadly
consistent with the approved development and provides additional opportunity for landscaping
between buildings to further minimise visual impact of the development particularly on elevated
parts of the site.
The changed proposal replaces the approved hardstand comprising internal roads, parking and
landscaping which was located close to Resort Drive in the south western part of Precinct F and
replaces these with buildings P, Q and R and associated landscaping. It is considered that these
changes result in an improved interface with Resort. …
It is generally agreed that the changes to the development shown on the proposed plans do not

The primary changes to the development are the 18.2% increase in population density (due to
additional bedrooms) and the 20% reduction in gross floor area. Despite the population density
increase, the scale of the multiple dwelling component has not significantly changed, with the
number of units remaining the same and their overall floor area reduced by around 1,500m2. The
population density also remains within the limit allowed under both the previous Plan of
Development for the site and the current provisions of the Noosa Plan.
Much of the reduction of gross floor area is the result of deletion of common facilities, such as the
theatre, function room and multiple restaurants. The amended proposal still retains common
resort-type facilities of a simpler, rationalised nature. Notably the planning provisions for the site
do not mandate any minimum or specific facilities. The changes to the resort elements are
considered reasonable and reflective of the scale of resort facilities sustainable in the current
economic climate, with the previous approval representing an expansive resort of a type not now
likely to be developed.
It is considered the development can still remain within the intent of the approved development.
Amendments to conditions 4 are recommended later in this report to ensure the provision of an
integrated resort component is achieved.
The amendments to the plans are supported and condition 1 is recommended to be amended to
read:
Development undertaken in accordance with this approval must generally comply with the
approved plans of development. The approved plans are listed below and are as amended by the
conditions herein.

3.2. Consequential Amendments to Conditions
Given the changes to the development plans, a number of further conditions of the approval
require amendment, as detailed below.
Condition 1 – Plan Amendments
The following changes shall be made to the development:-
   Inclusion of soft landscape areas between Buildings A, B & C that allows for planting of tall
     trees.
   A minimum landscape setback of 2 metres shall be provided to all car parking spaces.
   Removal of all buildings (including carports) within the 15 metre setback to the north east
     boundary or written confirmation from an appropriately qualified fire consultant that the risk
     of bushfire has been addressed by proposed car port design.
Assessment
The amended plans generally address the previous concerns raised in this condition. However,
they provide only a preliminary set of development plans to indicate the siting, scale and layout of
the development. Additional detail is required to address building height, architectural elements
and building profiles, location of stormwater devices and the like. Approval of fully detailed plans
is required prior to proceeding with an operational works application.
It is recommended the condition be replaced with the following:
Prior to the issue of an operational works approval for the development, fully detailed
architectural proposal plans must be submitted for Council approval. Detailed plans must provide
the following details as a minimum:
    Full architectural building elevations;
    Detailed roof plans and ground level contours demonstrating compliance with the
      development’s 8m/12m building height limits above natural and finished ground levels;
    Landscaping areas demonstrating compliance with Condition 5 herein;
    The location of proposed stormwater management/treatment devices;
    Consistency with all management plans for the development;
    Building colour schemes demonstrating compliance with Condition 8 herein; &
   Vehicle manoeuvring areas and temporary turning provisions.


                                                                                     Page 50 of 79

Section 51

PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   1 MARCH 2016


Condition 4 – Resort Requirements
4.   The ancillary shops, restaurants, bars, business centre, boardroom, theatre, function rooms
     and other ancillary facilities shall be operated and maintained as a Resort. A letting pool
     service promoting and managing short term accommodation must also be established on
     site and made available to all owners of multiple dwelling units. The community
     management statement for any or all bodies corporate having control of the Resort or any
     part thereof shall incorporate this condition.
Assessment
The nature and extent of the resort facilities changes under the proposal but the development
can still function as a managed resort with sufficient common facilities and remains subject to the
requirements of this condition.
The application indicates the development is likely to be staged and would be subject to a future
change application to introduce the staging layout. The condition should note that, in order to
reflect the resort nature of the approval, the resort component and facilities should be completed
at an early stage. It is recommended the condition be amended to read:
4.   The ancillary shops, restaurant/cafes, bars, business centre, boardroom, theatre, multi-
     function rooms, gym and other ancillary facilities shall be operated and maintained as a
     Resort. A letting pool service promoting and managing short term accommodation must
     also be established on site and made available to all owners of multiple dwelling units. The
     community management statement for any or all bodies corporate having control of the
     Resort or any part thereof shall incorporate this condition.
Where the development is staged, the common resort facilities must be completed and
operational with the first stage.


Condition 5 – Landscaping
5.   The open space and setback areas are to be landscaped in accordance with Council’s
     Policy on Landscaping Guidelines and a properly prepared landscape plan prepared by a
     suitably qualified Landscape Architect or Horticulturalist. Such landscaping is to be
     completed prior to the premises being occupied and maintained at all times thereafter and
     shall include:
          Planting of koala and glossy black cockatoo feed trees;
          Tall canopy trees between the buildings and the eastern boundary to reinforce the
            existing vegetation on the adjoining Council land and assist in integrating the
            development into its landscape setting. These trees shall be located outside the 15
            metre fire buffer required along this boundary.
          Tall canopy trees on the landscape embankment to the west and south-west of
            proposed Buildings A, B & C to visually break-up the bulk of the buildings while
            allowing for filtered views.
          Tall canopy trees on the landscaped embankment to the west and south-west of
            buildings T and U to establish a continuity of tree canopy down the slope from the
            ridgeline to the lower lying areas to assist in integrating the development with its
            landscape setting.
          Tall canopy trees in the landscape areas on the slopes to the west of buildings F, G,
            H, I, J and K to provide a continuous tree canopy across these slopes while allowing
            for filtered views to Lake Weyba.
         Screen planting along the site’s frontage to Resort Drive, which includes mature
           planting.




                                                                                    Page 51 of 79

Section 52

PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                 1 MARCH 2016


Assessment
The condition should be amended to remove the previous references to building numbers, whilst
maintaining the requirement for extensive landscaping throughout the development. It is
recommended the condition be amended to read:
5.   The open space and setback areas are to be landscaped in accordance with Council’s
     Policy on Landscaping Guidelines, the Bushfire Management Plan for the site and a
     properly prepared landscape plan prepared by a suitably qualified Landscape Architect or
     Horticulturalist. Such landscaping is to be completed prior to the premises being occupied
     and maintained at all times thereafter and shall include:
         Planting of koala and glossy black cockatoo feed trees;
         Tall canopy trees throughout the site (exclusive of any fire buffer areas) to assist in

           buildings, and reduce visual building bulk.between the buildings and the eastern
           boundary to reinforce the existing vegetation on the adjoining Council land and assist
           in integrating the development into its landscape setting. These trees shall be
           located outside the 15 metre fire buffer required along this boundary.
         Tall canopy trees on the landscape embankment to the west and south-west of
           proposed Buildings A, B & C to visually break-up the bulk of the buildings while
           allowing for filtered views.
         Tall canopy trees on the landscaped embankment to the west and south-west of
           buildings T and U to establish a continuity of tree canopy down the slope from the
           ridgeline to the lower lying areas to assist in integrating the development with its
           landscape setting.
         Tall canopy trees in the landscape areas on the slopes to the west of buildings F, G,
           H, I, J and K to provide a continuous tree canopy across these slopes while allowing
           for filtered views to Lake Weyba.
         Screen planting along the site’s frontage to Resort Drive, which includes mature
           planting.

     prepared by Alan Starkey & Associates and dated June 2007, with all works around the
     trees carried out in accordance with Coastland arbour services report dated 15 May 2007.
     The landscape plans required to be submitted are to denote areas of existing vegetation or
     existing trees to be retained.
Assessment
The reference to the old plan should be removed and a requirement made for a new vegetation
management plan. It is recommended the condition be amended to read:
6.   Existing trees on the site and within road reserves are to be retained, except where
     required to be removed due to building operations or the conduct of the approved use.
     Trees retained on site shall include those identified on Drawing No: 433-EX02 & 433-EX03

Condition 8 – Building Colours
8.    The development’s external colour scheme shall use muted tones of browns, greens and
      greys to integrate the development with its landscape setting and ensure the development
      does not visually impact on the vegetated skyline. This shall apply to Buildings A to K, U, T
      & V only.
Assessment
The reference to the previous building numbers should be removed and a requirement
introduced for plans to demonstrate an appropriate colour scheme to blend with the environment.
It is recommended the condition be amended to read:
8.    The development’s external colour scheme shall use muted environmental tones of
      browns, greens and greys to integrate the development with its landscape setting and
      ensure the development does not visually impact on the vegetated skyline. Detailed plans
      shall be submitted and written Council approval obtained prior to commencement of the
      development.This shall apply to Buildings A to K, U, T & V only.


Condition 11 – Energy Efficient Building Measures
11.   Energy efficient measures shall be incorporated into the development, including the
      following at a minimum:
      11.1. All hot water systems installed shall be either solar systems; electric heat pump
            systems; or gas systems (LPG or natural).

This condition is no longer applied under The Noosa Plan and is addressed by Australian
Building Code and other requirements, which change from time to time. It is recommended the
condition be deleted.


Condition 12 – Bushfire
12.   The development shall comply with the fire mitigation measures detailed in the Bushfire
      Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan prepared by Bushland protection Systems Pty Ltd
      and dated 20 May 2005.
Assessment
The previously approved bushfire plan should be updated to reflect the amended proposal and
current standards for bushfire mitigation to ensure an acceptable level of risk to people and
property. Recent State Planning Policy mapping for development assessments identifies areas
of very high fire danger on the site and it is important the hazard is appropriately assessed. The
development’s limited site footprint provides opportunity to amend building locations should the
need for further changes be identified. It is recommended the condition be amended to read:
12.   The applicant must submit a revised Bushfire Management Plan for the development which
      reflects the approved plans and demonstrates development shall comply with the fire
      mitigation measures detailed in the Bushfire Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan prepared
      by Bushland protection Systems Pty Ltd and dated 20 May 2005 compliance with The
      Noosa Plan’s requirements for bushfire and the provisions of the State Planning Policy July
      2014 in regard to hazard level.


                                                                                        Page 53 of 79

46.   Roof water runoff from any new building should be directed to a rainwater storage systems
      or tanks that provide minimum storage of 400,000 litres. Storages and/or tanks shall be
      installed to ensure water from the tanks/storages is used for external uses (such as
      watering gardens, irrigation, ornamental ponds, water features, topping-up swimming
      pools, outdoor cleaning, etc) in accordance with the Water Sensitive Design Code of the
      Noosa Plan. and for use in flushing of toilets internal to the building. All rainwater tanks
      are to be designed and installed in accordance with the Queensland Development Code
      (QDC), Part 25 – Rainwater Tanks, and shall be part of the plumbing application in
      conjunction with the building approval. The location and capacity of the tanks shall be
      clearly shown on the plans submitted for Operational Works approval and any overflow
      shall be directed to the road frontage/the stormwater drainage system/etc located on Leslie
      Drive.


Condition 47 – Stormwater Drainage
47.   All stormwater drainage (including roof water overflow from the rainwater storage system)
      shall be collected and discharged so there is no net increase in stormwater runoff from the
      site. Stormwater drainage permitted to drain from the site shall be discharged generally in
      accordance with Tate Professional Engineers Drawing Number C1732/05/F/P04 revision H
      dated 07/06/07.




                                                                                     Page 55 of 79

Assessment
The condition should be amended to remove reference to the previous stormwater design and
ensure no net increase in runoff. It is recommended the condition read:
47.   All stormwater drainage (including roof water overflow from the rainwater storage system)
      shall be collected and discharged so there is no net increase in stormwater runoff from the
      site. Stormwater drainage permitted to drain from the site shall be discharged generally in
      accordance with Tate Professional Engineers Drawing Number C1732/05/F/P04 revision H
      dated 07/06/07 shall be managed so that:
      a)   there is no net increase in 1 year ARI peak stormwater flows from the site; and
      b)   the discharge of stormwater from the site does not affect the approved design
           residence time of the Noosa Springs Golf Course lake system.


Condition 48 – Stormwater Discharge
48.   All stormwater drainage shall be collected on site and discharged to the internal lakes
      (within the Noosa Springs development) in accordance with previous approvals.
Assessment
The use of lake systems is no longer a preferred means for treating stormwater from
developments . The lake system for Noosa Springs also now sits on a separate parcel of land
and alternate drainage solutions may be preferable. It is recommended the condition be
amended to reflect the requirements of The Noosa Plan and allow flexibility in the design
approach for the new development.
48.   All stormwater drainage shall be collected on site and discharged to the internal lakes
      (within the Noosa Springs development) in accordance with previous approvals and
      discharged in a manner to ensure no harm to the receiving natural and built environments.




Condition 49 – Stormwater Treatment
49.   Stormwater run-off from the carparking areas and the driveways shall have the first flush
      (the first 12 mm of rainfall or hose-down) collected in grease/oil arrestors (or similar
      devices) provided on site to ensure that polluted run-off such as oil and grease are
      separated from the main body of stormwater and do not enter the internal lakes of the
      Noosa springs Golf Course.
      All other clean stormwater, such as roof water, can be collected on site and discharged
      through a single underground drain line directly into the existing drainage system,
      bypassing the grease/oil arrestor.
      To this end, a detailed maintenance plan shall be prepared for the proposed grease/oil
      arrestors, which shall be submitted to the Council for approval prior to obtaining a
      Development Permit for Operational Works.
      The approved maintenance plan shall be continued to be complied with for the duration of
      the approved Use.




                                                                                  Page 56 of 79

PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                 1 MARCH 2016


Assessment
The condition applies outdated approaches to water quality management and should be
amended to reference contemporary standards and require a new management plan for the
development. It is recommended the condition be changed to read:
49.   Stormwater run-off from the carparking areas and the driveways shall have the first flush
      (the first 12 mm of rainfall or hose-down) collected in grease/oil arrestors (or similar
      devices) provided on site to ensure that polluted run-off such as oil and grease are
      separated from the main body of stormwater and do not enter the internal lakes of the
      Noosa springs Golf Course.
      All other clean stormwater, such as roof water, can be collected on site and discharged
      through a single underground drain line directly into the existing drainage system,
      bypassing the grease/oil arrestor.
      To this end, a detailed maintenance plan shall be prepared for the proposed grease/oil
      arrestors, which shall be submitted to the Council for approval prior to obtaining a
      Development Permit for Operational Works.
      The approved maintenance plan shall be continued to be complied with for the duration of
      the approved Use. must be treated to prevent prescribed water contaminants and nutrients
      discharging from any part of the site at concentrations that are likely to cause
      cyanobacteria, algal outbreak or other adverse reaction within the Noosa Springs Golf
      Course lake system or other receiving waters.
      The application for Operational Works must include a Water Quality Management Plan
      submitted to the Council for approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for
      Operational Works.
      Where stormwater runoff from the site will enter the Noosa Springs Lake System, the
      Water Quality Management Plan must be endorsed by an aquatic scientist or equivalent
      expert in the field of water quality management, and include the following information:
      MUSIC Modelling and calculations to demonstrate that concentrations of Total Nitrogen,
      Total Phosphorous and prescribed water contaminants at risk of occurring in runoff from
      the developed site will be no more than pre-development concentration, or be of a
      concentration that is compatible to the water quality needs of the lake system.
      Monitoring protocol to confirm that any nutrients or prescribed water contaminants at risk
      runoff from the development site is not responsible for adverse water quality matters within
      the Noosa Springs Lake System.
      Where waters will bypass the Noosa Springs Lake System, the Water Quality Management
      Plan must include calculations certified by an RPEQ to demonstrate the following will be
      achieved:
         the design residence times of the Noosa Springs Golf Course lake system are
           maintained;
         an 80% reduction in Total Suspended Solids, 60% reduction in Total Phosphorous
           and 45% reduction in Total Nitrogen prior to discharge of stormwater from the site.
      The maintenance Schedule within the approved Water Quality Management Plan must be
      included within the Community Management Statement prior to commencement of use.




                                                                                   Page 57 of 79

2.   This Development Permit for a “Change to an Existing Approval” will trigger amendments to
     be made to the “Infrastructure Charge Notices” originally issued and advised in Advisory
     Notes 2 and 11. Amended Infrastructure Charge Notices will be issued for the estimated
     amounts of:
     i)     Coastal Major Road Network Infrastructure Charges Plan = $487,640.00; and
     ii)    Public Transport and Stormwater networks = $264,271.00
     These amounts are subject to variations in the Consumer Price Index, All Groups Brisbane
     from December 2015 until the date of payment.


4.   CONCLUSION
The application seeks to change the existing development approval for a resort of 155 multiple
dwellings and associated facilities within Precinct F of the Noosa Springs master planned estate.
The changes seek to substitute more contemporary building designs, amend the mix of unit
sizes, consolidate the common resort facilities and remove some components such as a theatre
and function room. The changes result in an 18% increase in population density (due to
additional bedrooms in the units) and a 20% reduction in gross floor area but remain within the
previously applied development parameters for the site and The Noosa Plan’s provisions for
these aspects. The number of units remains unchanged and the footprint of the buildings remains
similar. The changes are considered to be supportable under the Sustainable Planning Act
provisions for a permissible change.

The intent of the existing approval was for multiple dwellings with integrated resort components
and booking/management functions. The amended development will remain subject to the
approved use type and condition 4 in this regard and still retains common resort-type facilities of
a simpler, rationalised nature.

The previously approved development plans are relatively schematic and the proposed new
plans are also limited in their number and level of detail. Amended conditions are recommended
requiring fully detailed plans and updated management plans for the site prior to Operational
Works approval stage.

The application is recommended for approval, subject to amended conditions.

REPORT
A report on a Development Application for Material Change of Use for Operational Works for
Placing Advertising Devices (Signage) at 78-80 Rene Street, Noosaville was considered by
Council at its Ordinary Meeting on 14 January 2016. Council resolved to refuse the application
citing three reasons.

An appeal was lodged with the Planning and Environment Court on 1 February 2015 by the
applicant. The appeal seeks to overturn Council’s decision to refuse the application.

It is in order for Council to defend the appeal and the recommendation is worded accordingly.

Previous Council Consideration

Ordinary Meeting 14 January 2016, Item 7, Page 5
That Council note the report by the Manager, Planning & Environment to the General Committee
Meeting dated 11 January 2016 regarding Application No. OPW15/0214 for a Development
Permit for Operational Works - Signage situated at 78-80 Rene Street, Noosaville and refuse the
application for the following reasons:
1.       The application proposes signs in excess of 4m2 sign face area and total signage area on
         the premise in excess of 10m2, which are inconsistent with the Overall Outcomes of The
         Noosa Plan’s Advertising Devices Code;
2.       The proposal represents excessive signage for a single business that will result in
         unnecessary visual clutter and dominate the streetscape.
3.       The signage is incompatible with the existing and preferred streetscape character and is
         contrary to the Advertising Devices Code.

Finance & Risk
There will be significant costs for Council involved in defending the appeal and it is premature to
advise on the appeal prospects at this stage.

1.   Finance
The budget for Development Assessment (DA) comprises three major revenue streams including
application fees, searches and infrastructure charges, with infrastructure charges being a capital
contribution. While significant revenue is budgeted for each financial year, no revenue is
received for some activities undertaken by the team such as general enquiries, compliance
action against breaches of development approvals and the planning scheme, development
appeals, infrastructure planning etc. These activities form a community service obligation
component and amount to approximately 36% of officer’s time based on a Branch Activity
exercise carried out in late 2014 for the DA Service Review.

For the year to date, revenue from applications and searches has exceeded the expected budget
by $189,186. Expenditure is below budget for the same period.

Infrastructure Charges receipted ($2,119,789) is also significantly higher than the expected
budget ($1,223,245). This is due to the final stages of Doonella estate being completed and
Stage 4 of Greenwood Grove completed. Overall, the Development Assessment budget for year
to date is in a sound position, with some adjustments made as part of BR3 to reflect the
increased fees and charges received.

Infrastructure Planning & Charges




Waiver or Partial Waiver of Development Application Charges

Council’s adopted Fees and Charges include a provision for the Director, Planning and
Infrastructure to “partially or wholly waive a development fee where strict application of the
schedule fee is obviously unreasonable for the type of application being received.”

The tables below set out a summary of each application where a partial waiver of the
development application fees was granted or refused for the period 1 October 2015 to 31
December 2015.




                                                                                Page 66 of 79

The application seeks approval for a Material Change of Use to add 56 dwellings to the existing
approved retirement village and involves 2 new additional neighbouring parcels of land. One of
the parcels is zoned rural and raises a degree of zoning conflict over that land, however, it will
contain only 6 of the additional 56 dwellings.

The base fee of $31,017 for the MCU & REC is relatively substantial and will cover our
assessment costs - therefore no further inconsistent use fee multiplier is considered necessary
in this instance.

The applicant proposes that a fee reduction is appropriate as the subject site is a large rural
property and maintains that the proposed works are not significant.

The scheduled fee is calculated on the area of the site and not the size of the proposed works.
The area of work to be assessed has been calculated at approximately 2500m2 – 3000m2 and
triggers the maximum capped fee as detailed in the schedule of $4,390 for a site between 1400
– 5000m2

Therefore the fee reduction proposal is not supported on this basis.



Application No      Applicant         Application Details      Fees & Charges Fee approved

                    Ltd             Peregian Beach
The application was triggered by a compliance matter in relation to filling of the site and will
require conditions from engineering and environment. The intent is to “stockpile” material on the
site for filling of part of the site the subject of the Material Change of Use for the shopping
centre. Under the circumstances it is recommended that the request be refused as this is the
minimum fee that would generally apply for this type of application.

Development Audit and Compliance

The table below identifies the number of development related compliance matters that were
investigated between 1 October 2015 to 31 December 2015. The number of compliance matters
carried out is significantly lower than previous quarters due to the matters not being recorded
accurately during this time, this is due to the compliance officer being on leave. An estimate of
the number of audits carried out on newly completed developments is also highlighted.

In November 2015, 1 planner commenced long service leave for 3 months, with a second
planner also taking extended leave from February 2016 to November 2016. A development
planner’s position for 12 months was advertised to maintain service levels during this time and
was filled in November 2015. There have also been changes in administration staff due one
administration officer retiring. Changes in staff impact on the team’s ability to maintain the same
service levels due to the specialised nature of the work and time required to train staff.

There are also number of staff in the team, including 2 engineering officers and a further
administration officer who may be considering retirement in the near future and succession
planning will be an important consideration going forward.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Manager Procurement and Fleet to the Planning &
Organisation Committee Meeting dated 1 March 2016 providing an update on fleet management
activities for the period 1 October to 31 December 2015.

REPORT
Fleet management oversees the maintenance and replacement of Council’s vehicles plant and
equipment to ensure that internal customers can provide established levels of service to the
Noosa community.

Data collected continues to be collated to allow regular reporting of performance to Council. Fleet
management provides four monthly reports to Council on its performance in addition to flagging
any emerging issues that may need discussion.

General Fleet Summary
The following table provides a summary of the current fleet pool. Council currently utilises 241
active vehicles and plant fleet items (including yellow plant and minor plant) to service the
community. Council now owns 200 items of the fleet pool.

Section 72

PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   1 MARCH 2016


Council still leases 41 passenger and light commercial vehicles with leases due to expire in
2015/16 and 2016/17. These remaining vehicle leases were transferred to Council as part of de-
amalgamation. Lease versus buy analysis outcomes show that leased vehicles should be
purchased on replacement when the existing leases expire. For the 2015/16 year approximately
32 leases were due to be replaced with purchased vehicles (unless an economic benefit is
otherwise presented – i.e. renegotiation of the extension to the lease to the favour of Council). To
date approximately 20 vehicles are scheduled to be replaced over the coming few months.

Operating Model

The Fleet and Procurement branch currently consists of 5 staff including the Manager,
Procurement & Fleet, Procurement Advisor, Maintenance Supervisor and 2 x Fleet Officers. The
focus of the Fleet Management staff is now on co-ordination and logistics regarding the fleet
pool. This new operating model (recommended following the fleet review) allows better
management of maintenance and replacement activities and will also allow collation and analysis
of information for better decision making.

Budget and Year to Date Performance

As at the end of December 2015 fleet operating expenditure has achieved 46% of full year
budget compared to the year to date benchmark of 50%. Costs are recovered via the charging of
plant to other areas of Council via an internal charging process to ensure costs are appropriately
captured in operating and capital programs.

 Description                          Value
                                      ($’000)
 Dec YTD Actual Expenditure           $1,207
 YTD Budget Expenditure               $1,355
 Variance (underspent)                $148
 % of Budget Spent                    46%

Costs, such as lease costs and fuel expenditure are consistent throughout the year for passenger
and light commercial vehicles. Other costs, such as vehicle maintenance is actioned on a
scheduled basis where possible with reactive maintenance undertaken as required.

The expenditure budget lines shown in the graph below contribute to 81% of the overall fleet
operating budget. The graph shows that maintenance costs are tracking slightly above budget
and are being offset by positive variances in lease, fuel and tyre costs (with lease costs reducing
as vehicles are being replaced). The over expenditure in maintenance is a result of the condition
of plant and vehicles transferred to Noosa which will be addressed in time as the replacement of
the older plant items occurs.

Tyre costs are running under budget due to the improved monitoring and competitive
procurement of replacements.

equates to 201,633 litres, with Council paying on average $1.13 per litre. Council utilises the
state government contract fuel arrangement and receives a significant discount at the pump
compared to retail rates.

Plant and Fleet Replacement Program

A 10 year capital replacement program has been developed for Council’s fleet and plant following
an urgent review undertaken in 2014. The review included condition assessments being
undertaken for all plant and vehicles to develop a forward replacement program and ensure risks
associated with safety and cost was mitigated. Ongoing condition assessments are now being
undertaken by the Manager and Maintenance Supervisor, with the forward replacement program
amended as necessary.



                                                                                                           Page 73 of 79

Section 74

PLANNING & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                   1 MARCH 2016


The 2015/16 capital budget includes $2.3 million for plant and vehicle replacement, and the
Manager has been actively managing the program with flexibility required to address emerging
issues.

As at the end of December 2015, $1.3 million of the program has been expended or committed. 2
new backhoes have recently been commissioned with a further 7 trucks and 20 vehicles to be
purchased over the next quarter.

Plant and Fleet Utilisation

The fleet team is currently collecting utilisation data for each piece of plant via monthly odometer
and hour meter records. Utilisation is a useful tool to assess if vehicles are achieving expected
usage levels, by comparing usage (km or hours) to an expected annual industry benchmark for
each class of fleet item. Utilisation variances (particularly underutilisation) to the benchmark can
be analysed to determine if they are appropriate based on the specific plant item or whether the
original investment decision was warranted.

Ongoing utilisation assessment will be undertaken as part of Council’s fleet procurement to
determine if individual fleet items are necessary as part of Council’s operations or other forms of
procurement may be more appropriate. Discussions regarding fleet utilisation are held on a
regular basis to ensure informed fleet asset investment decisions are made.

Systems and Processes

The fleet team has been progressing the development of the fleet system in the Technology One
system to automate a number of activities including procurement and maintenance scheduling.
Minor plant scheduling is now operational in the T1 system with scheduled maintenance for fleet
items still in development. The next stage of system development will involve improving the
reporting capability to allow more in-depth analysis of performance. This activity is still ongoing
as expanded data becomes available.

Emerging Issues

Moving forward the fleet team will be keeping abreast of changes in the industry and the potential
impact on Council, in particular the changes surrounding alternative energy.

Key Comments Noosa River Holiday Park

 Overall year to date operating position favourable.
 Expenses are higher than budget primarily due to a water leak which is being investigated by
   Unitywater and Council’s Building and Plumbing Services team.

Key Comments Noosa North Shore Beach Campground

 Overall year to date operating position favourable.
 The capacity of the site is being reduced so that operations will be contained within the
   property boundaries. The site will be subject to an upcoming Masterplan in order to inform
   Council of requirements, associated costs and staging options for the upgrading of the facility
   retaining a ‘nature-based’ low impact approach to the site and style of facilities provided. The
   impact on ongoing profitability (if any) will be assessed and reported.

PARK OCCUPANCY PERFORMANCE

The below table summarises occupancy data for the period 1 October 2015 to 31 December
2015. The table highlights a 94.42% occupancy rate for Noosa River Holiday Park (with powered
caravan sites at 99.37% occupancy) which reflects its geographical position and popularity with
the market and generations of return users. The Noosa North Shore and Boreen Point
Campgrounds’ lower occupancy rates reflect that these facilities are more remote and offer a
different experience.
