4.4     Overlays

The overlays existing upon the site are described and commented on in the below table.


 Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay
                                                    The subject site contains Acid Sulfate Soils: - Area 1
                                                    – Above 5m AHD to 20m AHD. The proposed
                                                    development will ensure that the release of Acid
                                                    Sulfate Soils and associated metal contaminants into
                                                    the environment is avoided, as extensive excavation
                                                    is not required to facilitate subdivision of the site.
                                                    Accordingly, no further assessment has been
                                                    undertaken against the Overlay Code.




 Bushfire Hazard Overlay
                                                    The subject site comprises Bushfire Hazard: - Medium
                                                    Potential Bushfire Intensity and Potential Impact
                                                    Buffer.    It is acknowledged that the proposed
                                                    development will result in an increase in the number
                                                    of residents residing within a Bushfire Hazard Area.
                                                    Accordingly, a Bushfire Management Plan has been
                                                    prepared by Bushfire Risk Reducers, included at
                                                    Appendix F.        The Bushfire Management Plan
                                                    addresses the Bushfire Overlay Code of the Noosa
                                                    Plan 2020 and provides recommendations regarding
                                                    the future siting and design of a Dwelling House at
                                                    proposed Lot 2.

                                                    Furthermore, a review of Unitywater’s Mapping
                                                    confirms a hydrant is available on the water main
                                                    directly across the road, ensuring hose servicing
                                                    length and pressure is adequate to service the
                                                    proposed subdivision development.
