GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                   18 JANUARY 2021


Risks & Opportunities
The purchase of this land would temporarily impact on Environment Levy Reserves. If another land
parcel of interest comes on the market in the near future, there may be insufficient reserves to
purchase.
325 & 375 Lake Flat Road are mapped as having a High Potential Bushfire Intensity and Council
would be taking on additional fire risk and management responsibilities.
The purchase of this land would help build a protected area corridor connection between Ringtail
State Forest and Great Sandy-Cooloola National Park.
There is an opportunity to protect 325 & 375 Lake Flat Road as a Nature Refuge and thereby avoid
the risk of future clearing of 20% of the land area for farm forestry, or clearing for house site areas.
If Council were to purchase the land and a neighbouring land parcel came onto the market in the
future, with a suitable house site area, Council could consider purchasing the neighbouring land,
undertake a boundary realignment, and on-sell both land parcels with protective covenants and
house site areas.
