Sealed Judgement

over the area that maintenance can be
reduced to a as needs basis.

Vegetation Management — Other areas

a)

The Concept Rehabilitation Plan
specifies the planting regime,
management and species pallet for
each rehabilitation zones within the
development areas.

Zone 1 is the area to rehabilitated as a
wetland to compliment the adjacent
wetland areas. This is considered to be
part of the existing vegetation
assemblage and as such will not result
in an increase in area of this relatively
small stand within the development site.
Zone 2 covers the area which will form a
vegetative screen between the southern
Eco-cabins and Noosa Drive. As this
area is too narrow and is separated
from any area of acknowledged bushfire
hazard to present a bushfire risk to the
development proposal.

Zone 3 covers the proposed detention
basin and the basin will be vegetated
with sedges and water tolerant grasses.
This is an artificial area and as such
regular maintenance will be required to
ensure weeds and other wetland
sedges such as Typha orientalis and
Phragmites australis do not gain a foot-
hold in the basin and increase the
average height of sedges within this
area.

Zone 5 — Balance area amongst cabins
area is to be in accordance with the
Concept Rehabilitation Plan (Gondwana
Ecology Group).

The Zone 5 area is to be managed on a
day-to-day basis by the RACV Noosa
Resort to maintain the plantings /
rehabilitation in a viable condition and to
ensure that no vegetation would
become a bushfire risk to any of the
Eco-cabins or boardwalk structures.

Emergency Response - Bushfire

a)

The current Emergency Response Plan
covering the RACV Noosa Resort is to
be updated to include the Eco-Cabins
and all existing actions and
responsibilities are to be adopted for the
Eco-cabins with respect to vegetation
and structural fires.

Building Compliance

a)

b)

Building Compliance under the National
Construction Code is to be conditioned
by the certified Building Certifier.

We note QFES will be required to
advise on fire hydrants and structural
fire mitigation issues for the proposed
Eco-cabin structures.
