Information Response

      a. Location and direction of the overflow and backwash.
      b. Potential impacts and mitigation measures for discharging of pool water in the
         direct of the Noosa River and into the Riparian Buffer Area.

Response: Please refer to the Ecology response letter and revised Ecological Assessment Report
prepared by Greentape Solutions, and Engineering Plans prepared by SCG Engineers, which details the
location and direction of overflow and backwash, which avoids the Noosa River and riparian buffer area.

Item 16

Amend the Ecological Assessment Report to detail any potential impacts the effluent
disposal system and area may have on the Riparian Buffer Area and Noosa River.

Item 17

Provide mitigation measures to eliminate or minimise any impacts included.

Response: Please refer to the Ecology response letter and revised Ecological Assessment Report
prepared by Greentape Solutions. The proposed effluent disposal system is a sprinkler system (not
underground pipes), and therefore there will be no impacts from earthworks. Sprinklers are required in a
vegetated area to soak up the water. The Project Ecologist has confirmed that the location of the effluent
disposal area will unlikely have any negative impacts on the Noosa River and riparian buffer area.

Item 18

Amend the Ecological Assessment Report to include the riparian buffer area (including
access track to the Noosa River) within the proposed rehabilitation areas. Specifically
address Performance outcome PO6 (c), (e) and (f) of the Biodiversity Waterways and
Wetlands Code.

Item 19

Eliminate access and impacts i.e. slashing to the riparian buffer area and identify the riparian
buffer area as an additional rehabilitation area with at a minimum, assisted natural
regeneration techniques.

Response: Please refer to the Ecology response letter and revised Ecological Assessment Report
prepared by Greentape Solutions. The proposal is not located within or near the mapped waterway and
riparian buffer area, and the inclusion of this area for rehabilitation will be via natural regeneration.

Item 20

Review species selection to ensure the species are appropriate for the location, soil types
and environmental conditions i.e. tidal wetland within each of the rehabilitation areas.

Response: Please refer to the Ecology response letter and revised Ecological Assessment Report
prepared by Greentape Solutions. The species selection is considered suitable, and some additional
species that are tolerant of water logged environments have been included for the base of the batter
slope.
