MCU21/0110 - Application For Material Change Of Use - Bar, Food, And Drink Outlet, Outdoor Sport And Recreation, Resort Complex At 61 Noosa Springs Drive, Noosa Heads · Attachment 2 - MCU21 0110 - Manager Development Assessment Report

•    Landscape cannot contain flammable plant species to the north of the hotel abutting Resort
     Drive (except for Non juvenile koala habitat trees).
•    Non juvenile koala habitat trees to the north of the development can remain in situ with a
     maintained understory required to reduce the bushfire risk.
•    No less than 5 metres adjacent the eastern side of the hotel units identified on the
     landscape concept plans must be turf only. This is to be extended to include all building
     with an eastern aspect as detailed in the below image.




                                   Figure 12: Area of 5 metres of turf only

•    The use of less flammable plant species should comprise of a minimum 70% of all ground
     covers and understory within the landscape area.
•    Improvements to the resort drive verge including removal of vegetation from along the road
     edges to improve sight lines and impacts of vegetation with emergency response vehicles.
     (See General comments)
•    The development be connected to reticulated water, with sign off from a hydraulic
     engineering consultant that there is capacity to meet potential needs should a structural /
     vegetation fire threaten the site.
•    Sufficient hydrants standpipes or inground hydrants located within and around the facility to
     ensure compliance with the relevant guidelines and standards.
•    An emergency response plan including evacuation plan to provide a set of responses
     should a vegetation fire involve adjacent vegetation and visitors, or staff need to be
     relocated to ensure they are safe until the fire is brought under control by authorities. This
     could involve:
     o Evacuation on the golf course
     o Evacuation behind buildings with fire safety standards
     o Within the hotel reception area for further instruction
Water Supply
The development is serviced by reticulated water, with sufficient hydrant standpipes or in ground
hydrants located within and around the development site safely located and freely accessible.
Further sign off from a hydraulic engineer to ensure appropriate capacity to meet potential needs
in an emergency can form reasonable conditions where an approval is granted. See below current
hydrant locations within the site and within the Resort Drive Road Reserve.
