BP24/1073 11/02/2026 Cayas + Ward Suite 2, 19-25 Musk Avenue Kelvin GroveQLD4059 RE: 37-49 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads QLD 4566 Lot 0 on SP152217 Dear Sir/Madam, Bartley Burns building certifiers have provided initial advice for the proposed building work to the Noosa Reef Hotel located at 37-49 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads. As part of the initial advice, it has been determined that the existing tavern and the proposed future works are required to be protected by a compliant fire hydrant system in accordance with the National Construction Code 2022 Volume 1 Part E1D2, AS2419.1 and the Queensland Fire Department’s operational requirements. Following site investigations and testing of the existing fire hydrant system, it was determined the existing system does not currently achieve compliance with the above-mentioned criteria. It is believed the existing fire hydrant system will require alterations/rectification works to be undertaken to achieve the required level of compliance. A suitably qualified hydraulic consultant will be required to confirm how to best achieve compliance. Yours Sincerely Toby Spencer A1064976 Bartley Burns Pty Ltd ABN 98 482 284 007 Unit 10 / 16 Metroplex Ave, Murarrie Q 4172 1300 051 189 [email protected] [OCR of page images] BP24/1073 “es bartley weoUrNS building certifiers & town planners 11/02/2026 Cayas + Ward Suite 2, 19-25 Musk Avenue Kelvin GroveQLD4059 RE: 37-49 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads QLD 4566 Lot 0 on SP152217 Dear Sir/Madam, Bartley Burns building certifiers have provided initial advice for the proposed building work to the Noosa Reef Hotel located at 37-49 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads.
