Delegated Report - Code - Planning RAL26 0015 (As Published) · RAL26/0015

               •       No mapped ‘endangered’/’of concern’/’least concern’ regulated vegetation will be impacted
                       by the proposed development.
               •       No threatened flora species nor any marine plants will be impacted by the proposed
                       development.
               •       Ongoing forage/refuge/dispersal habitat within retained vegetation (particularly adjacent to
                       the northern property boundary) will be facilitated by the proposed development.
               •       No mapped ‘essential habitat’ will be impacted by the proposed development.
               •       No mapped ‘koala habitat’ will be impacted by the development, and the proposal
                       additionally complies with assessment benchmarks under Schedule 11, Part 2 of the
                       Planning Regulation 2017.
               •       No declared/gazetted ‘fish habitat areas’ will be impacted by the proposed development.
               •       Development impacts are appropriately setback from Lake Cooroibah within the ‘riparian
                       buffer area’ designation.
               •       No significant wetland/waterways values will be impacted by the proposed development.
               •       No significant environmental corridor/connective habitat values will be fragmented by the
                       proposed development.
               Potential impacts
                   -    The new boundary traverses land mapped as riparian on the BWW Overlay.
                   -    The proposal will require minor/selective removal of native trees from the site to establish
                        the building envelope.
               Avoidance/mitigation measures:
                   -    While the new boundary traverses land mapped as riparian, the area is only sparsely
                        vegetated and the proposed fenceline has been sited to avoid any clearing of native
                        vegetation.
                   -    It is considered the proposal would result in an improved biodiversity outcome as the
                        current boundary is vegetated and mapped as biodiversity. This patch of vegetation is
                        currently subject to clearing exemptions for fenceline clearing that would no longer apply.
                   -    The design ensures ecological linkages are maintained.
               In accordance with AO2 (a) of the Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code new lot
               boundaries should not transect and fragment existing native vegetation.
               PO5 of the Reconfiguring a Lot Code requires that new lots have areas and dimensions that allow
               for the construction of buildings while retaining the scenic amenity and vegetated character of the
               landscape. The proposed new lot boundary has been sited to avoid the requirement for any native
               vegetation clearing. It is considered that unforeseen impacts for the construction and maintenance
               of a fenceline are unlikely to result in a significant impact to biodiversity.
               Overall, it is considered that, subject to implementation of the recommendations outlined in Section
               7 of the Ecological Assessment, the development is consistent with the purpose and overall
               outcomes of the Noosa Plan Biodiversity, Waterways and Wetlands Overlay Code.
               Giving due consideration to the application material, it is considered the proposed is generally in
               accordance with the intended outcomes of the Noosa Planning Scheme 2020, Biodiversity,
               Waterways and Wetlands Code.
