ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                      21 OCTOBER 2021


         1.   The proposal is not consistent with the Overall Outcome 13.7.2 c), d) and e),
              Specific Outcomes O2, O5, O7 and O15 of the Noosa Plan 2006 Biodiversity
              Overlay Code as:
              a.    The proposal seeks to undertake development in the riparian buffer.
              b.    A 20m wide easement is required for firefighting purposes within the riparian
                    buffer which requires clearing of vegetation.
              c.    Fill within the riparian buffer for the driveway and firefighting appliances has
                    the potential to adversely impact on the ecological and hydrological values
                    of the riparian buffer area.
              d.    The proposal is likely to result in the removal of koala habitat for a new lot
                    boundary.
         2.   The proposal is not consistent with 13.30.2 of the Natural Hazards Overlay Code
              for bushfire hazards as the proposed bushfire risk mitigation treatments impacts
              the riparian buffer and requires clear clearing of part of the riparian buffer.
         3.   The proposal is not consistent with 14.181.2 a), c), g), and Specific Outcomes O1,
              O20 and O22 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code as:
              a.    The development does not meet the minimum lot size, and provide for the
                    retention of the site’s natural environmental values and will result in clearing
                    koala habitat and part of the riparian buffer.
         4.   The proposal does not comply with the Noosa Plan 2020 as:
              a.    The applicant proposes development in the riparian buffer.
              b.    It is removing vegetation within the riparian buffer and not protecting an
                    ecologically important area.
              c.    The proposal places people and property at risk as the driveway cannot be
                    constructed to a suitable standard for firefighting without the clearing of
                    vegetation in the riparian buffer.
    B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
                                                                           Carried unanimously.
