20191202 Ltr Noosa Council

We have also retained 6 metre vegetation to the new roundabout between Hofmann Drive extension and
the north south private road, to the partial frontages of Lot 6, 9 and 10. Due to the existing levels of
southern portion of the site and the need to provide appropriate stormwater and drainage to these lots, we
must necessarily include fill to these areas. As a result, it is not possible to retain 6m of vegetation to the
frontages of Lots 10-16, nor to Lots 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9.

All of the above are reflected on the amended clearing plan.

6. Survey

We refer to attached Subdivision Plan 034389.57 which incorporates the following amendments:

- Creation of Lot 24 for future transit facility;

- Removal of access easement to Lot 23;

- Inclusion of easements required to facilitate extension of service vehicle access for Noosa
Emporium across Lots 2 and 22 (including underlay of existing arrangements);

- Inclusion of 4metre wide pedestrian thoroughfare easement along the western boundary of Lots 3
and 4, alongside Covenant J;

- Lot 17-19 boundary clarified with underlay of existing Big W and loading dock;

- Access easement for carparking, access and bushfire setback to the southern boundary of Lots 11-
15 (hardstand access driveway and carparking, along with the stormwater treatment works, will be
delivered with this ROL);

- Detailed summary of proposed easements and covenants — including lots burdened, benefited and
the intended purpose.

This survey plan base has been used in the Clearing Plan, the Bushfire Management Plan, and the Civil
Engineering Plans.

7. Acoustic Fence

As discussed at our workshop on 19 November 2019, we understand that any requirement for acoustic
fence can be conditioned and addressed as part of an operational works approval. Notwithstanding we are
currently in the process of completing an acoustic assessment of the existing acoustic environment.

We note that the existing loading dock only extends along the northern boundary of Lot 21 and part of Lot
19, to the existing wall of the Big W store (refer to the attached survey plan overlay Lots 17-21). We will
retain 6 metres of the existing vegetation along the rear of Lots 17-19 given the fill that needs to occur
along Hofmann Drive — this will improve the amenity and setting for these lots.

We note that the existing residential use located opposite Lots 17-19 has a managed interface with the
existing Noosa Civic retail/commercial and industrial uses that was assessed during the masterplanning
and Noosa Civic Stage 1 Development Application phase.

8. Koala SPP

We note your comments in relation to the assessment against the Planning Regulation with respect to
koala habitat.

The assessment benchmarks set out in schedule 11, part 2, section 7 of the Planning Regulation require
development to avoid clearing non-juvenile koala habitat trees in bushland habitat, high value rehabilitation
and medium value rehabilitation habitat area. If clearing in those areas cannot be avoided (such as for the
development of the Shire Business Centre), the amount of clearing is to be minimised and any significant
residual impact of the clearing is to be offset.

When making a decision about whether to impost an offset condition, Council must consider any offset
condition that has been imposed for the same, or substantially the same, impact and prescribed
environmental matter.
