and the local environment. The disturbance of acid sulfate soils is be avoided where possible. Where disturbance is unavoidable, the
disturbance should be minimised or managed to prevent the mobilisation and release of acid, iron and other contaminants. Areas
subject to potential acid sulfate soils are shown on the Acid Sulfate Soils Overlay Maps in Schedule 2.

With the projected increase in mean temperatures and heatwaves as a result of a changing climate, public places require shade (both
natural and built) to help reduce direct sun exposure and the incidence of melanoma. This includes footpaths, public facilities, dining
areas, parks, communal areas and car parking areas.

Noosa Shire contains hazardous abandoned mines relating to former mining activity, including disused underground mines, tunnels
and shafts. Information on abandoned mines can be obtained by visiting the Queensland Government website for more information
www.qld.gov.au/environment/land/abandoned­mines/ and additional information on historic mining activities can be gained from
GeoResGlobe on the Business Queensland web site.

Note: This mapping does not spatially represent all former mining activities in the Council area, and their extent. However, these mining
layers do give an indication of where there is an increased risk of hazards from former mining activities so that further geotechnical
investigations can be undertaken where necessary.
