the ecological values that exist over the waterway. The extent of these vegetative works is
shown in a Plan prepared by Callaghan & Toth and is contained in Appendix E (Ref: 1225-33).

6.5 Specific outcomes for the Natural Hazards Overlay Code

The lot layout places all proposed lots and Masonry Street outside of the Q100 flood
inundation area. No alterations will be made to a watercourse which would alter the flooding
characteristics.

6.6 Specific outcomes for the Natural Resources Overlay Code

This development does not involve the storage of flammable, explosive or other hazardous
materials within 200m of the gas pipeline.

The proposed reconfiguration will not result in a significant increase in the number of people
living within 200m of the gas pipeline as the area affected by the buffer area is located within
the balance Lot.

Notwithstanding the above it is noted that written evidence was produced from the 9th October
2008 concerning a similar reconfiguration at 17 Wilgee Court, revealing that from the gas
pipeline owner (APT Allgas Pipeline Operations Pty Limited) did not intend to construct a
pipeline in this area. Since this time there have been several other residential developments
located within the pipeline buffer area.

7. CONCLUSIONS
The proposal complies with the Specific Outcomes of the Noosa Plan with respect to
Reconfiguration of a Lot Code within the Cooroy & Lake Macdonald Locality Plan Locality.

Accordingly it is requested that the application be approved subject to reasonable and relevant
Conditions.

Yours sincerely,

Nicholas Gabriel
