at Makepeace Island, Noosa North Shore in South East Queensland, and is described as Lot
55 on MCH1667. Proposal details associated with this plan consist of a development
application (dwelling house) for Material Change of Use of premises.

The aims of the report were to comply generally with requirements of the Land
Protection (Pest and Stock Route) Management Act 2002, the Fisheries Act 1994 and to
provide a framework for compliance with regard to relevant Local Legislation and
Planning Guidelines.

Objectives for the report involved providing detailed methodology for weed management
and the development of rehabilitation works including plant schedule details,
performance and monitoring requirements, corrective actions, timeframes, responsible
persons and maintenance schedule/bond details; ensuring all environmental safeguards
are carried out correctly and to provide a framework for managing site activities
effectively.

In general, It is considered that the site rehabilitation and weed management to provide
benefits that, within the site context, outweigh the loss of mature trees resulting from the
proposed development. Further, in our opinion, we consider the proposal to provide
environmental gains generally above and beyond the existing situation.
