                                                                                                 2208-30467 SRA




Attachment 3—Reasons for referral agency response
(Given under section 56(7) of the Planning Act 2016)

The reasons for the SARA’s decision are:
     The application is for a development permit for a material change of use for short-term
      accommodation (16 eco-cabins).
     The development is located at 142 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads, also known as Lot 203 on
      SP267424, Lot 3 on SP126203, Lot 0 on SP203415, Lot 0 on SP203417 and Lot 200 on SP267421
      and has frontage to Noosa Drive.
     The eco-cabins are proposed to be developed on Lot 3 with vehicle access via the existing resort on
      Lot 203.
     The development site (Lot 3) has mapped koala habitat area.
     The proposed short-term accommodation will interfere with the mapped koala habitat area resulting
      in 54 non-juvenile koala habitat trees being removed.
     SARA has assessed the development application against the State Development Assessment
      Provisions (SDAP), version 3.0, specifically State code 25: Development in the South East
      Queensland koala habitat areas.
     SARA finds that the development can comply with State code 25, subject to conditions to:
           ensure the development is carried out generally in accordance with the plans of development
            submitted with the application.
           ensure clearing of koala habitat area is only undertaken where is has been approved by this
            referral agency response.
           ensure a conservation outcome is achieved where a significant residual impact is occurring to
            koala habitat.
           ensure appropriate infrastructure is established to support safe koala movement through the
            development.
           ensure all measures are taken to avoid injury or death of koala’s during the clearing activities.
           manage compliance processes and procedures.

 the development application material and submitted plans
 Planning Act 2016
 Planning Regulation 2017
 the SDAP (version 3.0), as published by SARA
