Appendix M - Ecology Report

                                                                                                           37

The proposed Concept Master Plan details a sensitive use of the site and consolidates development
within the northern extent of the site to minimise ecological impacts.
This Detailed Ecological Assessment of the site has identified a number of ecological constraints and
opportunities and developed recommendations to address potential impacts of the proposal. It is clear
that siting of the proposed Concept Master Plan is within an area of the site that has generally lower
ecological values with the most significant ecological features retained and enhanced as part of the
proposal. Through the implementation of mitigation and management measures recommended within
this assessment and the associated Natural Hazard Assessment, it is S5 Environmental’s opinion that
the regional habitat node located on the site and associated with the adjoining Tewantin National Park
and the local ecological corridor within the site will be retained and enhanced as part of the proposal.
The Concept Master Plan for Cooroy Care Farm is an outstanding example of sensitive ecological
design which enhances natural area and amenity values.
