ISSUE:        The playground is located within the Riparian Buffer Area of the Noosa Plan.

Item 17:      Clearly demonstrate how the proposed playground meets the Biodiversity Overlay Code for the
              Riparian Buffer Area, in particular Specific Outcome 5.

In response to the above Item 17 the following is offered:
           See the revised Environmental values report dated July 2020 which details how the playground meets
            Specific outcome 5 of the Biodiversity Overlay Code.


Item 18:      Demonstrate that there is an overall improvement to the water quality outcomes associated with the
              site by conserving, managing, enhancing and rehabilitation the ecosystem health and quality of
              stormwater entering receiving waters. In this regard, it is noted that water quality outcomes for the
              car parking within the Maple Street road reserve has not been addressed.

In response to Item 18 above the following information is offered:
           See amended Hinterland Playground SWMP Revision, dated 23rd July 2020. This report details that the
            proposed treatment train of the playground meets the required objectives of the SPP.
           The report also details that the new carparking on Maple Street will require a 20m2 biobasin to treat flows
            from these carparks and pathways to ensure water quality objectives are achieved prior to entry into Cooroy
            Creek.
           The frog pond is no longer a primary contact area and will now be a densely planted swale.
