have lived in Tewantin. The nature of the relationship stems from my wife having worked for Chris’ wife,
Kelly and in the same office where Chris’ business is located. Kelly was also the Treasurer of the
Sunshine Beach State High School P&C during my term as P&C President. My wife and I attended
Chris and Kelly’s wedding as well as several social gatherings at each other’s houses over the years as
our children were close friends and attended the same playgroup and schools growing up. As a result
of my conflict I will leave the meeting room while the matter is considered and voted on.

ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 17 FEBRUARY 2022
101. The developer must ensure non-essential exposure of soil is prevented by restricting the
extent of disturbance and minimising the duration of soil exposure to adverse weather
conditions and effectively turf, cover or stabilise any disturbed area without delay and
prior to rainfall occurring.
102. The developer in conjunction with the engaged CPESC must ensure measures installed
to divert the upstream water are designed and certified by the supervising RPEQ and
installed prior to commencement of bulk earthworks.
103. The developer must ensure sediment does not leave the site or enter onto adjoining
properties or Council’s drainage system due to surface runoff or on tyres of vehicles
and/or machinery. It is essential to implement appropriate approved erosion and
sediment control measures throughout the site during all phases of construction including
vehicle shakedown pad/grid (or similar) at the access to the construction site. Where
sediments or other contaminants are deposited on a road, they must be removed so as
not to enter Council’s drainage system or waterways.
104. Prior to the completion of the development, all site surfaces must be effectively stabilised.
For the purpose of this condition, an effectively stabilised surface is defined as one that
does not, or is not likely to result in visible evidence of soil loss caused by sheet, rill or
gully erosion or lead to sedimentation, or lead to water contamination.
Water Sensitive Design
105. The active filter media of the bioretention device must be 27m². Active filter media area
is the area of the bioretention basin surface that is not covered by any impermeable
structure such as a sediment forebay, riser, etc.
106. During construction and establishment of the bioretention devices, the supervising
RPEQ must certify forms contained in section 3.15 of the Construction and
Establishment Guidelines: Swales, Bioretention Systems and Wetlands (Water by
Design, 2009). These forms and certification must be submitted to council prior to the
sealing of the survey plan.
107. A construction hold point with a council delegate must be established once the
bioretention device underdrainage pipe work is installed. At the time of inspection, a
sample of the drainage layer, transition layer, and filtration media materials must be
stockpiled onsite accompanied by laboratory results that demonstrate that the media
complies with the specifications contained in the latest version of the Guidelines for Soil
Filter Media in Bioretention Systems (Facility for Advancing Water Biofiltration) and that
the minimum hydraulic conductivity of 180mm/hr or as specified on the approved
engineering plans will be achieved. The drainage layer, transition layer, and filtration
media materials shall not be installed until the catchment draining to the bioretention
device has 80% groundcover as determined by council’s delegate.
108. Eighty percent (80%) of the catchment flowing to the bioretention basin must be
effectively stabilised prior to the construction holdpoint for the Bioretention device.
109. Prior to the release of the plan of survey, the supervising RPEQ must certify must certify
that all hardstand areas of the development drain to a bioretention device designed and
constructed in accordance with all relevant conditions of this approval, the Water by
Design Bioretention Technical Design Guidelines, relevant aspects of the IPWEAQ
Standard Drawing WSUD-drawing series and Construction and Establishment
Guidelines: Swales, Bioretention Systems and Wetlands (Water by Design, 2009).
Bioretention Devices - Landscaping
110. Landscape plans must include a mixture of at least five of the following species for
planting in the bioretention basin extended detention surface at a minimum density of 8
plants/m2:

Section 27
ORDINARY MEETING AGENDA 17 FEBRUARY 2022
b. Carex fascicularis
c. Ficinia nodosa
d. Juncus usitatis
e. Lomandra longifolia
f. Ghania sieberiana
111. Landscape plans for the areas surrounding the bioretention basin filter media footprint
must be arranged to minimise shading to the filter media footprint are. Suitable plants
include the following:
a. Cared appressa
b. Carex fascicularis
c. Ficinia nodosa
d. Juncus usitatis
e. Lomandra longifolia
f. Ghania sieberiana
g. Banksia robur
h. Dianella brevipendunculata
i. Themada triandra
j. Cymbopogan refractus
k. Melaleuca thymifolia
112. Where landscaping/garden beds are proposed adjacent to the bioretention basin, or
where the basin is located adjacent to naturally forested areas, a 900mm deep root
barrier must be installed to the interface between the landscape/garden/forest area and
the bioretention basin to prevent root intrusion to the biobasin infrastructure.
113. Landscaping to the surface of the bioretention basin filter media area must not
commence until 80% of building work within each contributing catchment is complete or
after 3 years, whichever occurs first. An uncompleted works bond of 150% of the value
of the planting to the surface of the bioretention basin filter media area must be provided
to Council prior to the release of the Plan of Survey.
114. Where required, mulch within the batters of bioretention basins must be installed in a
manner that it will not escape into receiving stormwater drainage infrastructure or water
courses.
Bioretention Devices - Education
115. The development shall be provided with approved permanent signage that is deigned in
accordance with Noosa’s Look and Feel document to educate the public on the function
of the bioretention basin. The wording for the signage for each bioretention basin is to
include: “BIORETENTION BASIN - This bioretention basin reduces the pollution of our
waterways by reducing the amount of heavy metals, litter, suspended solids, and
nutrients discharged to Lake Doonella”.
FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION / PRIOR TO THE ON-MAINTENANCE INSPECTION
Certification
116. Upon completion of the work a certificate must be issued by an RPEQ certifying that the
works have been constructed in accordance with the Operational Works permit.
117. A condition report of the drainage system must be completed for agreement prior to
requesting the works to be accepted On-Maintenance. The condition report is to include
a CCTV inspection of the existing pipe and must include at least 50m upstream and
downstream of all works.

11. PUBLIC QUESTION TIME
1. BREE JOHNSON
Q1. Noosa Councillor Clare Stewart, now the Kin Kin quarry is operational and the only
access for the quarry trucks to Kin Kin is via McKinnon Drive, this has now become
a major safety issue as I have found it extremely unsafe as I have now been forced
to share McKinnon Drive with the quarry trucks to access the disability school of
Sunshine Butterflies. I, Bree Johnson want to know what you as the Mayor of
Noosa are prepared to do to make McKinnon Drive safe for people with disabilities
and the general public now McKinnon Drive is used by the quarry trucks.
Q2. Noosa Councillors including Councillors Amelia Lorentson and Clare Stewart, what
is the next step/steps that I, Bree Johnson have to do in terms of having my
extension of the Lake Cooroibah bike and walking path to Silverwood Drive
become a reality to have a safer option for the accessing the disability school of
Sunshine Butterflies and for a safer option for the general residents of Cooroibah
who access Tewantin and Noosa Areas using their bikes.
12. NEXT MEETING
The next Ordinary Meeting will be held on 17 March 2022 at the Council Chambers, 9 Pelican
