Town Planning Report - Expansion to Noosa Landfill

“Specialist services and practical solutions”



       extent of the current landfill operation providing for more operational space within the site
       and improving environmental outcomes and flood resilience.

       The proposed development will result in the removal of regulated vegetation, which cannot
       be avoided. Further, is a logical extension to the existing landfill operation in the circumstances,
       being a finger of vegetation that protrudes into the existing landfill and is suffering from edge
       effects. The loss of vegetation needs to be considered in context with the large portion of land
       (Lot 77 - about 200ha), which is to be mostly protected as a nature reserve, despite the current
       zoning for a community purpose.

       The proposed development should be approved subject to reasonable and relevant
       conditions, given the demonstrated need and the environmental offset being provided.
