Town Planning Report - 1534 Louis Bazzo Dr Coothra · MCU26/0104

         c) Incorporating siting and design measures to protect and retain ecological values and ecosystem processes
             within or adjacent to the development site; and
         d) Where adverse impact has been minimised, any residual impacts n ecological values are compensated for
             through suitable habitat replacement and replanting on site in the first instance or in a way that results in a net
             gain and enhancement of the overall habitat values of Noosa Shire.


The proposed development achieves PO3 in the following ways:
The proposed development has been designed and sited to minimise its overall footprint, with all buildings, structures
and associated works contained entirely within the previously raised and modified clearing (VC1). No additional
vegetation removal is required, ensuring that existing habitat areas and ecological linkages remain intact. Access to the
new residence will be facilitated via an existing gravel driveway extending from Louis Bazzo Drive. Rehabilitation is
incorporated into the proposed development. A concept Rehabilitation Plan has been provided at APPENDIX F (of the
Ecological Assessment Report) which focuses on rehabilitation of the dam edges adjacent to the cleared area.


Acceptable outcomes AO5 refers to the design of the development to maintain ecological linkages.


Performance Outcome PO5 is read as:
Development is designed and operated to maintain and enhance connectivity between and across ecologically important
areas and connecting habitat and support unimpeded and safe movement of terrestrial and aquatic fauna.


The proposed development achieves PO5 in the following ways:
The proposed development has been designed and sited to minimise its overall footprint and will be contained entirely
within the previously raised and modified clearing (VC1). No additional vegetation removal is required, ensuring that
existing habitat areas and ecological linkages remain intact. Opportunities for fauna movement and dispersal will not be
impeded. Rehabilitation is incorporated into the proposed development. A concept Rehabilitation Plan has been provided
at APPENDIX F (of the Ecological Assessment Report) which focuses on rehabilitation of the dam edges adjacent to the
cleared area to enhance habitat values.


Acceptable outcome AO10.1 and AO10.2 refer to landscaping and rehabilitation of the site.


Performance Outcome PO10 reads as:
Development provides for ecologically important areas to be restored and enhanced through:
    a) designing landscaped areas to complement and enhance existing vegetation and ecological linkages;
    b) removing species likely to displace native flora species or degrade fauna habitat;
    c) replanting and rehabilitating degraded habitat;
    d) replacing any vegetation removed with suitable local native species;
    e) providing for fauna habitat; and
    f)     avoiding the planting of pest plant species
