      9.3.    maximum number of contractors expected on site at one time and correlating location
              of parking for those contractors. Parking Is not permitted in Councils carpark on
              Seaview Terrace and limited or no parking In the surrounding streets.
      9.4.    loading and unloading areas at each stage of construction
      9.5.    location of equipment storage at each stage of construction
              With respect to the above, the Construction Management Plan must demonstrate that
              the use rights of neighbouring properties that utilise the Seaview Terrace access are
              not compromised, and address whether any development applications and owners
              consent is required for use of other properties off site associated with any construction
              activities.
10.   Council is currently assessing the Geotechnical study and in this regard any further
      Information will follow.

11.   Fauna Survey
      The Seaview Terrace Ecological Assessment Report for Adrian Slinger By Chenoweth dated
      24 March 2009 (the EAR) admits unknown impact upon the values of the adjacent National
      Park: Given the vegetated nature of the.site, its close proximity to Noose National Park, and
      presence of a vegetated waterway, any development on the site can potentially affect these
      values. p21.

      Given the admitted potential negative Impact to the native species on the site and the. adjacent
      National Park the one day flora and fauna assessment, which was restricted to the site only, is
      considered Inadequate. This is particularly so given that very few amphibians would have
      been sited during the height of summer,J as admitted by Chenoweth on p18.
                          %
      Applicant admits in section 4.3 that fauna from the adjacent National Park could well use the
      site, and the fauna assessment therefore should incorporate an on ground assessment of the
      fauna within the Park.

      In this regard the applicant is to undertake a five day and night fauna survey as required In
      section 4.1 of Noosa Planning Scheme PSP18 Ecological Assessment Guidelines. The survey
      Is to be undertaken using the methodology in section 7 of PSP1 8 and all methods shall also
      conform to Queensland EPA's Guidelines for Flora and Fauna Surveys (1999) and include the
      following;
      11.1.   the survey Is to include an area of at least 100m into the adjacent National Park,
              appropriate licenses will need to be applied for and approved by DERM.
      11.2.   the survey is to undertaken at an appropriate time and weather conditions to capture
              the greatest diversity of species, particularly amphibians.
12.   Ground Water and Surface Water Impacts
      The Applicant has been previously requested by Council (30th April 09) to provide detailed
      assessment of the variations to and the impact upon the water quality and quantity on both the
      surface subsurface water drainage. This has not been provided. It Is only once this Information
      Is provided that an adequate assessment on the flora and fauna on the wetland on the site
      and that In the adjacent National Park can be assessed.
      Applicant is to provide a detailed assessment of the variations to and the Impact upon the
      water quality and quantity on both the surface subsurface water drainage and conduct a
      detailed assessment as the potential Impact the disturbance will have upon the flora and fauna
      both within and adjacent to the site.
      12.1    provide an explanation as to the type and cause of the Impacts predicted to the
              wetland and national park as a result of development of the site; and
