The DA makes no mention of any creek or watercourse in the plans. I object to the DA on the basis that it does
not take into account damage to the environment that has already occurred, nor future negative impacts on the
environment. Please review the information below that supports my concerns. However, from the attached
photographs taken on Sunday 16 April 2017, you will see that a creek or watercourse runs through the site.
The building on the left is the IGA Supermarket and the fence is where the proposed access road will enter the
site. The slope behind the IGA is where the Hotel is proposed to be built with the access road passing in front
on the right.
Much of the ground in the foreground is very “springy” from being waterlogged and covered in mulch.

This photo again shows the creek or watercourse to the right of the above photo and some of the many trees
which have been chopped down despite the lapsed approval requiring them to be retained “except where
required to be removed due to building operations”. There have been no building operations.
The following Google Earth aerial photo clearly shows the creek/watercourse running through the site behind
the IGA supermarket where the developer plans to build the Hotel and the access road to the housing
development is proposed to go farther to the west where the creek/watercourse runs.

The Covey Associates Pty Ltd Engineering Services Report of March 2017 states:
“The interface with the western boundary to the Council reserve will require approximately 2.0m of fill to be
placed. It is proposed that a rock filled gabion wall is constructed along this boundary to retain the fill material.
The proposed retaining structure would be subject to Geotechnical investigation and advice to determine an
appropriate design. The photograph below (Figure 6), illustrates the ‘swampy’ nature of the lower area of the
site in the vicinity of the proposed gabion wall.
Along the southern boundary with the Noosa National Park, a ‘fill’ wall of approximately 2.0m will be required.
These walls will most likely be of a concrete sleeper, or similar, construction. This would continue the existing
wall in-situ.
Along the northern boundary, ‘fill’ walls of approximately 1.5m height will be required. These walls will most
likely be of a concrete sleeper, or similar, construction.”
While the Report speaks of the ‘Swampy’ nature of the area it does not refer to the creek or watercourse.
Likewise, it does not refer to the fact that the gabion wall will be on the bank of or in the bed of the creek
requiring footings to suit.
The development will result in changes to the natural drainage of the site and disturbance of the wetland
system contrary to the Noosa Plan. I submit that Noosa Council should refuse approval to develop under these
circumstances.
The developer should now be requested to provide a detailed survey of the site showing the location of the
creek/watercourse in relation to the site boundaries and the proposed location of the Wallum Houses numbers
10 to 13. The developer should also be required to provide plans and appropriate expert advice on what is
proposed in regard to the creek/watercourse.
Perusal of the latest version of the DA shows that the applicant did not tick the box (Item 7) indicating that
there is a watercourse in the site. There is a watercourse on the site and this is plainly misleading. Noosa
Council must clarify why the applicant did not indicate the true situation and cannot grant approval for the DA
until this question has been answered and the implications of the fact that there is a watercourse have been
fully resolved. The DA covers a site that abuts directly onto a Noosa National Parks National Park and this is a
serious issue.
Until this information is provided neither the Council nor the community are in a position to assess the
development and can only oppose it.
