Ecological Assessment Report

1.0     INTRODUCTION
1.1     PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT
        Urban Catalyst 3 was engaged by Chris Bentley to undertake an ecological assessment for a new
        dwelling proposed at 11 Senegal Rise, Doonan, on land formally described as Lot 120 on
        RP887986. This report details the outcomes of the ecological assessment completed and has been
        prepared to satisfy the requirements of the Biodiversity, waterways and wetlands overlay code
        in the Noosa Plan 2020. The report is to accompany a code assessable material change of use
        development application to Noosa Council for construction of a dwelling house.

1.2     SITE DESCRIPTION
        The rural residential property is under freehold land tenure and located within Doonan (refer to
        Figure 1). The site contains a small existing cleared area at the terminus of Senegal Rise, with the
        remainder of the allotment dominated by mature native vegetation.

        The land is 1.056 ha in area and is located on the mid to upper slope of a roughly north-westerly
        to south-easterly aligned ridgeline. The dwelling is proposed on relatively flat land on the crest of
        the ridge, with onsite vegetation located on moderate to steep southerly to south-westerly facing
        slopes averaging 16-18 degrees. The site ranges from approximately 76m AHD in the north-east
