3.2 Local Government

3.2.1 Local Authority Planning Scheme (Superseded)

The site is designated as a “Rural Preservation Zone” under the superseded
Planning Scheme.

Under the superseded Strategic Designation the site is located within the Noosa
North Shore/Cooloola locality and is also designated as “Open Space —
Conservation and Waterway protection” area. We understand that under the
superseded planning scheme the development of a “dwelling house” is a
consistent and as of right use in the Rural Preservation Zone

Refer Appendix E of Report ACO7631ECO for Local Authority Information.
3.2.2 Local Authority Zoning Issues

The site is subject to the following assessment processes under the superseded
Planning Scheme;

Table of Zones — Rural Preservation

Specifically, the site is designated “Rural Preservation”. As such, we understand
development of a “dwelling house” within the site is self assessable under Table
2.4 (Table of Zones).

3.2.3 Planning Scheme Policy 03 (Landscaping Plants and Guidelines)

Under PSP03 of the Noosa Plan, Section 9.0 lists undesirable plant species
that are not acceptable for inclusion in landscaping and are to be removed
where possible. The following species listed in PSPO03 have been observed
on the subject site (Refer Duke Environmental Report NO. ACO7631ECO for
details):

Asparagus aethiopicus (Asparagus fern — highly invasive)
Jacaranda mimisifolia (Jacaranda)

Sanservieria trifasciata (Mother in Laws Tongue)

Passiflora sp. (Passionfruit Vine) ~

3.2.4 Biodiversity Overlay Code

As detailed in the Noosa Council Information Request (Ref: 2007/445) the
proposal is to conform to the specific outcomes of Division 4 (Biodiversity Overlay
Code) of the current Noosa Plan. Refer to Appendix F (in Duke Environmental
Ecological Assessment Report Ref: ACO07631ECO) for a detailed response to the
Code.
