GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                 15 JANUARY 2018


3.     The approval is contrary to the South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning
       Regulatory Planning Provisions as the development will result in the removal of non-
       juvenile koala habitat trees.
4.     Different bushfire hazard mapping to that used for the initial approval applies as the State
       Planning Provisions came into effect after the original approval and results in a higher
       hazard rating. The higher hazard rating may require changes to setback/buffer areas and
       an amended subdivision layout. An updated bushfire management plan has not been
       submitted to enable an assessment of the current bushfire hazard.
5.     Significant time has lapsed since the ecological assessment reports were originally
       submitted and the information in these reports is now outdated. Updated ecological reports
       have not been submitted.
6.     The community is unlikely to be aware of the proposal given the significant time that has
       lapsed, the Noosa Plan’s current zoning and no works have commenced on site.

Finance
Should the matter proceed to trial it is likely this matter will be heard together with the appeal(s)
to extend the relevant period.

Risks & Opportunities
It is premature to advise on potential prospects of the appeal.
