it is required. Council will not be able to issue a Decision Notice without receipt
of details that the Levy has been paid. QLeave contact: 1800 803 481 (free call)
or (07) 3212 6855.
Co-ordination of Operational Works Assessment
5. Additional application fees apply to Operational Work applications where the
different aspects of the works are lodged separately. Significant savings in
application fees will result if all works are lodged in a single application.
Preparation of a Preliminary Construction Management Plan
6. The works identified in this Decision Notice will be required to be carried out in
accordance with a Construction Management Plan endorsed by Council
through an approval for Operational Works. To ensure expedient assessment
of any Operational Works application, the applicant is advised to submit a
preliminary Construction Management Plan that addresses the requirements of
the planning scheme. In particular, the preliminary Construction Management
Plan should address the following:
a. provisions that ensure the proposed construction does not unduly impact
on the surrounding area and ensure the site is safe for members of the
public, implementing appropriate traffic signage in accordance with the
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and making
provision for safe pedestrian access across the frontage of the site both
during daily construction and after daily construction has ceased.
Plumbing, Drainage, Waste Water Treatment and Disposal System
7. The establishment of Plumbing and Drainage and a waste water treatment and
disposal system for the site requires a Compliance Permit to be obtained from
Council under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2002. The system must be
designed in accordance with the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code,
Australian Standards AS/NZS3500, AS/NZS1547: 2000 “On-site Domestic
Wastewater Management”.
8. The existing Waste Water Treatment and Disposal System for the site is as
mentioned in the report from Barlow Shelley, Consulting Engineers, Section 8 ,
Reference number 1014 Dated 3rd September 2013, is capable of
accommodating the proposed changes to the development.

Section 45
ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 18 DECEMBER 2014
9. If design requirements for the site change, whereby the development exceeds
the accommodation or use of 21 or more equivalent persons, or generates a
requirement for an ERA63, then an Operator’s Licence from The Department of
Environment and Heritage Protection (DEHP) will also be required.
Health
10. Due regard should be given to the design and location of noise emitting fixed
plant and equipment and any acoustic treatment that may be required. It is
advised that an appropriately qualified acoustic consultant be involved with the
selection and installation of such equipment. A qualified acoustic consultant can
give advice on how to best locate and design the equipment such that it can
meet statutory noise or planning requirements.
11. The Environmental Protection Act 1994 states that a person must not carry out
any activity that causes, or is likely to cause, environmental harm unless the
person takes all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent or minimise
the harm. Environmental harm includes environmental nuisance. In this regard
persons and entities, involved in the civil, earthworks and construction phases
of development, are to adhere to their ‘general environmental duty’ to minimise
the risk of causing environmental harm. Environmental harm is defined by the
Act as any adverse effect, or potential adverse effect whether temporary or
permanent and of whatever magnitude, duration or frequency on an
environmental value and includes environmental nuisance. Therefore, no
person should cause any interference with the environment or amenity of the
area by reason of the emission of noise, vibration, smell, fumes, smoke,
vapour, steam, soot, ash, dust, waste water, waste products, grit, sediment, oil
or otherwise, or cause hazards likely in the opinion of the administering
authority to cause undue disturbance or annoyance to persons or affect
property not connected with the use.
12. In accordance with the Public Health Act 2005, rainwater tanks must be
constructed with mosquito proof screens (made from either brass, copper,
aluminium or stainless steel), and constructed with a mesh size of no more than
1mm, and must be installed in a way that does not accelerate corrosion. Tanks
that contain flap valves must be installed so that when closed, mosquitoes
cannot pass through the valve. It is unlawful under the Public Health Act 2005
to construct, install or be in possession of a tank that does not comply with
these requirements.
B. Find the following are sufficient grounds to justify the decision despite the conflict with
the Planning Scheme:
1. The development allows the re-use of the existing industrial building on the site
and improved built form, landscaping and environmental outcomes on the site;
and
2. The site has existing use rights for a major industrial use (brickworks), which is
also categorised as an Industrial Use Type 2 under The Noosa Plan, and the
proposal is of substantially lesser intensity

REPORT
1. Purpose
On Wednesday 10 December 2014, Council finalised the purchase of the Peregian Bowls Club
taking possession of the land and buildings. The purpose of this report is to seek Council
approval for the establishment of a Rufous Street Precinct Project Control Group (PCG) and the
allocation of funds to allow for:
the safe removal of the buildings and asbestos contamination from the Bowls Club site; and
concept design and consultation.
2. Establishment of the Rufous Street Precinct PCG
The Old Peregian Bowls Club site is located between David Low Way and Rufous Street to the
north west of Peregian Village. The development of the Bowls Club site and Rufous Street
presents a unique strategic opportunity to connect the commercial hub of Peregian Village with
surrounding sports fields and community activities as well as help solve some of the entrenched
parking problems within the area.
At the same time it also presents an opportunity to enhance the economic development of the
area through the establishment of a digital hub/incubator thereby adding to Peregian’s growing
reputation as Australia’s Silicon by the Sea.

ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 18 DECEMBER 2014
6. Demolition of buildings and removal of asbestos contamination on the Peregian
Bowls Club site
A report prepared for the Peregian Bowls Club in October 2010 by Gary Zealand and Associates
identified that the buildings on the site contained asbestos fibrous cement sheeting and fibrous
cement castings in the roof, guttering, drains and walls of the buildings as well as fibrous cement
casting on the bowling green gutter edging and blackboard.
The presence of asbestos was known before the offer to purchase was made and the price paid
by Council reflected that fact.
An inspection by Council’s Environmental Health Officers on December 4, 2014 identified
evidence of broken pieces of asbestos guttering and sheeting lying on the ground next to one of
the buildings.
Following settlement on Wednesday 10 December Council’s Project Coordinator, Project Design
and Delivery inspected the site with an approved asbestos removal contractor with the aim of
obtaining an estimate for the safe removal of asbestos on the site and demolition of the old bowls
club buildings.
Following this visit the Project Coordinator, Project Design and Delivery has arranged for the
removal of any broken asbestos sheeting or guttering lying on the ground on the site.
The contractors estimate to remove the asbestos and demolish the buildings is $75,000.
It is recommended that quotes now be sought for the demolition of the buildings ideally before
school returns in late January 2015.
Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting, 23 October 2014, Item 1, Page 10
“That Council note the report by the Chief Executive Officer to the Ordinary Meeting dated 23
October 2014 and authorise the Chief Executive Officer to:
A. Proceed with the proposed course of action as outlined in the report; and
B. Make public the contents of this report once it has been implemented.”
Finance & Risk
Finance
There is currently no capital budget allocation for the Rufous Street Precinct Project in the
2014/15 original budget due to the emerging nature of this project.
However because of the opportunities that this project presents for both Council and the
community this report seeks an initial capital budget allocation of $100,000 to be sourced in
Budget Review 3 to undertake the following activities:
the safe removal of the buildings and asbestos contamination from the Bowls Club site
(estimated cost $75,000) ; and
concept design and consultation (estimated cost $25,000)
The works are considered capital in nature and funds are to be sourced from the existing capital
program, with no net cash flow impact if possible.

Section 60
ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 18 DECEMBER 2014
Risk
The buildings on the Peregian Bowls Club site contain asbestos fibre cement sheeting and
fibrous cement castings. There is also evidence of broken asbestos sheeting and guttering lying
on the ground on the site. This presents a known public health risk which Council must deal with
as soon as possible.

The purpose of this report is to obtain Council endorsement to the proposed nominations for the
roles of First Director of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation Ltd and to authorise the Chief
Executive Officer to amend the Constitution of Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation Ltd to
provide for the one Director appointed by the founding member to be always be an elected
member of Council.
Background
In January 2014, the newly de-amalgamated Noosa Council began a review of the governance
structure for the Noosa Biosphere Reserve. On the 21 January 2014, Noosa Council endorsed a
three-step process to reshape the Noosa Biosphere Reserve management arrangements in
order to maximise the potential for community involvement in the Noosa Biosphere Reserve. This
process included a working group, consultation with key stakeholders, workshops, presentations
and the calling for submissions from the community.
Page 62 of 67
Section 63
ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 18 DECEMBER 2014
Following this process, and in full consideration of all the input received, Council proposed a draft
Noosa Biosphere Reserve Management Model. Input on the proposed model was again sought
from the community and Community Sector Boards through a series of consultations in April
2014.
On 29 May 2014, Council adopted the new Biosphere Reserve Management Model and an
implementation plan. Formal documents for the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Trust and the
Constitution of Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation Ltd. were adopted by Council at its
Ordinary Meeting on 20 November 2014.
With the winding up of the previous Noosa Biosphere Reserve (NBR) governance entity, Noosa
Biosphere Limited (NBL) at its AGM on November 24 this year, the focus is now on progressing
the appointment of First Directors of the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation Ltd and to
progress the establishment of the Foundation and Trust.
Selection and nomination of First Directors
The role of Director is to provide strategic direction and governance (including financial
responsibility) to the organisation to achieve its primary objective of protecting and enhancing the
natural environment.
The Constitution provides for the appointment of at least six and not more than eight Directors of
which a majority must be “Publicly Responsible Persons”. The First Directors will be those
persons decided by Council and named as Directors in the application for incorporation of the
company. First Directors will be eligible for re-appointment at conclusion of the initial term.
The First Directors will be comprised of:
(1) two Directors who will have a term of one year;
(2) three Directors who will have a term of two years;
(3) two Directors who will have a term of three years, and
(4) one Director appointed by the Founding Member (Noosa Council).
An Expression of Interest for the roles of First Directors was advertised in the Noosa News on 18
November 2014 and closed on 5 December 2014. Interested persons were asked to make
application to Council detailing their personal particulars, qualifications, affiliations, skills, areas of
expertise and reasons for applying. Twenty three applications were received and assessed on
the basis of the applicant’s professional and interest skills including but not limited to the areas
of:
Professional leadership experience;
Business management experience;
Acumen in economics;
Scientific expertise or understanding, particularly in biological or earth sciences;
Experience or understanding of sustainability measures;
Community engagement experience;
Experience in media and communications; and
Awareness or understanding of the Noosa locality, its history, culture and nature.
Consideration was also given to the requirement for the majority of Directors to be Publicly
Responsible Persons. A Publicly Responsible Person is one who has a degree of responsibility
within the community and satisfies the requirements within Taxation Ruling TR95/27 Income Tax.
There was a particularly strong group of candidates that submitted Expressions of Interest will
augers well for the future of the Biosphere governance arrangements.

Section 65
ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 18 DECEMBER 2014
Constitution of Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation Ltd.
Council at its Ordinary Meeting on the 20 November 2014 previously considered the proposed
legal documents for the Noosa Biosphere Reserve Trust and the Constitution of Noosa
Biosphere Reserve Foundation Ltd. As a result of further review of the documents, an
amendment to Clause 8 of the Constitution is proposed to give effect to the Council appointed
Director always being an elected Councillor appointed by Council. Further, it is intended that the
Councillor would only hold that role of Director while they were still a Councillor (i.e. if the person
no longer held the office of Councillor, they would no longer hold office as the Council
representative on the Board). To ensure that the role of the Council representative on the board
is periodically reviewed, it is also intended that the appointment to the Board as the Council
representative would be required to be reviewed by the Council every three years.
Approval is sought for the Chief Executive Officer to be authorised to liaise with Council’s legal
representatives to effect the proposed amendment and finalise the documentation.
