EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Manager Development Assessment to the General
Committee Meeting dated 17 June 2019 and agree to resolve the appeal on the basis of the
Mediation Agreement included as Attachment 1 & the Area to Revegetate included as
Attachment 2 to this report.
REPORT
A report was considered by the Planning & Environment Committee Meeting on 11 September
2018 regarding a Planning & Environment Court Appeal lodged against an Enforcement Notice
issued to Noosa Airfield due to unauthorised filling and vegetation clearing undertaken.
Significant uncontrolled fill material (concrete and earth) as well as builder’s demolition materials
had been placed into the manmade waterway at a number of locations. Vegetation had also
been removed from Lot 2 RP160983 (the lot adjacent the airfield) on the south-eastern side of
the access driveway.
Under the Noosa Plan filling where involving more than 100m3 or more of material requires a
Development Permit for Operational Works. Filling where involving less than 100m3 of material
also requires a Development Permit for Operational Works where the filling does not meet
Column 2 of Table 14-52 of the Earthworks Code which includes the following requirement:
S6.1 The fill material is solid clean earth, free of putrescibles or refuse material, vegetation,
acid sulphate soils, building or construction material or other material or contaminants.
The fill is estimated to exceed 100m3 and is not solid clean earth. Council records indicate that
no Development Permit for Operational Works has been obtained for the filling.
Under the Noosa Plan, the area on Lot 2 RP160983 on the south eastern side of the access
driveway, which has been cleared of vegetation, is identified by the Noosa Plan’s Biodiversity
Overlay as being a Riparian Buffer and Environmental Enhancement area. Clearing vegetation
within the Riparian Buffer and/or the Environmental Enhancement Area requires a Development
Permit for Operational Works.
Council records indicate that no Development Permit for Operational Works has been obtained to
clear vegetation.
Page 3 of 20
Section 4
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 JUNE 2019
Therefore, the filling and vegetation clearing was undertaken in breach of the Noosa Plan and
contrary to the Planning Act 2016.
The map below depicts the area where the fill was dumped and vegetation cleared.
Council resolved at the Ordinary Meeting of 20 September 2018 to continue enforcement against
Noosa Airfield to address the current breaches of The Noosa Plan.
In accordance with the Planning & Environment Court’s directions, mediation was attended by
Council officers and Noosa Airfield with the court registrar on 23 April 2019. At the mediation the
unlawful works were discussed with Noosa Airfield and Noosa Airfield was again requested to
undertake the actions outlined in the Enforcement Notice, including removal of unclean fill
material and ecological rehabilitation of the area cleared of vegetation.
Noosa Airfield agreed at mediation to undertake the required restitution works including the
following:
Remove the concrete and fill material from locations 1, 2 and 3 within 90 days of the signed
agreement subject to necessary extension if circumstances dictate (i.e. such as the site
being inaccessible due to wet weather). Locations 1, 2 and 3 are identified in the plan
attached to the Mediation Agreement included as Attachment 1.
Provide certification by a suitably qualified person with respect to any material proposed to
be retained on site for maintenance purposes, that is, clean fill.
Submit a revegetation plan for the area to be rehabilitated for Council approval and within a
further 90 days of the Council approval undertake the works required by the revegetation
plan.
The agreement reached at mediation is set out in Attachment 1, with the area to be rehabilitated
included as Attachment 2. Notably the area to be rehabilitated was only provided on 31 May
2019 with Noosa Airfield previously seeking to maintain an area clear of vegetation for a future
car park.
Page 4 of 20
Section 5
GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 17 JUNE 2019
The area to be rehabilitated is generally reflective of the area cleared of vegetation, with this area
not previously being fully vegetated.
Notably as previously reported to Council in September 2018 “…the original town planning
consent for the use expired many years ago and that a subsequent rezoning approval in 1994 to
Special Facilities was never completed despite correspondence by Council at the time noting the
Council’s concerns in this regard.
The present use of the land for airfield purposes involving the landing and take-off of aircraft and
associated facilities being housing, servicing, maintenance and repair of aircraft is therefore
unlawful.”
While this land use issue has been brought to the attention of Noosa Airfield some time ago,
Noosa Airfield have not provided any response to this issue and declined to discuss the matter at
mediation. This outstanding issue will therefore be further progressed separately to this appeal
with Council’s solicitor given the owners stated intentions to construct a car park, the potential
significant impacts of the airfield with previous complaints received from residents about the site
being used as a helicopter training base and the sensitive environmental setting in which the
airfield is located.
It is therefore recommended that Council resolve the appeal on the basis of the Mediation
Agreement reached with Noosa Airfield by Council officers.
Previous Council Consideration
Ordinary Meeting Minutes, 20 September 2018, Item 6, Page 8
That Council note the report by the Manager Development Assessment to the Planning &
Environment Committee Meeting dated 11 September 2018 regarding Planning & Environment
Court Appeal No. 2881 of 2018 and agree to continue enforcement against Noosa Airfield to
address the current breaches of The Noosa Plan.
Finance & Risk
The total costs to date for the appeal against the Enforcement Notice have not been collated at
this stage but include preparation of material and submission to the court including full
statements from Council’s development assessment officers involved in the investigation.
Council’s planning solicitor for the matter advises the following “I strongly recommend that
Council accept the agreement which, I consider, is a very good outcome bearing in mind the
issues in dispute”. Were Council not to accept this agreement the matter is likely to proceed to
trial with no certainty for the likely outcome.

MEDIATION AGREEMENT
The parties agree to resolve the appeal on the following basis:

(c) concrete and other builders waste in Location 3 and adjacent access way.

3. The Appellant will undertake the removal of fill (as per Point 1 above) and provide the
certification as per Point 2 within 90 days of this agreement. If the Appellant requires
additional time to complete the works due to circumstances beyond their control, it will
contact Council to seek an extension. Council will not unreasonably refuse to grant an
extension request.
4. By 4pm 26 April 2019, the Appellant will prepare and submit a dimensioned plan showing the

works required by that Revegetation Plan.
Subject to Council approval in Point 5 above, the appeal will be dismissed and the parties agree to
bear their own costs.

Cash Management and Investment Performance
Total cash on hand at the end of May 2019 was $68.0 million. Included in this balance are funds
held in trust and for restricted purposes (e.g. unexpended levy and grant funds) and monies
committed for funding capital projects during the year. The cash balance will progressively
reduce over the next quarter, aligning to budget forecasts by year end, as operational and capital
expenditure outstrips expected revenue.
