Dear Peter
INFORMATION REQUEST (APPLICATION REF: RAL 17/0501) – RESPONSES TO ECOLOGY AND
BUSHFIRE ISSUES
In respect of ecological and bushfire related issues raised in an Information Request issued by the Noosa
Shire Council (Council) on the 7th of September 2017, we provide the following responses.
Vegetation
Protection of Community Assets and Resources
Coastal dune vegetation plays an important role as a first line of defence for storm surge and sea level
rise in the protection of community assets such as David Low Way. The site is located in a Coastal
Management District and a Coastal Protection Area. Protection of vegetation in this location is
important for site stability and protection of community assets.
Information Required
1. Demonstrate the development can provide suitable protection of community assets including
David Low Way, the dune systems, the adjacent vegetation, and accommodate storm surge,
sea level rise, and extreme storm events and allow for ambulatory changes to the head of
Burgess Creek. Include an assessment of the on-going use and the impacts on the fore dunes
through increased access, whilst not burdening regulatory services to manage the area. Also
include an analysis of the clearing required for provision of sight lines for safe access as
required in Item 13 of this Information Request.
Response
Coastal erosion, storm surge, sea level rise and Coastal Management District issues have been dealt with in
the material prepared by Dr Trevor Johnson and submitted in support of the Application. That material
demonstrates that:
a) there is no evidence of coastal erosion occurring on the Site;
b) Since at least 1958 the coastal erosion line lies well to the east of the property boundary, with the
maximum extent of erosion coming no closer than 70 m to the seaward boundary of the Site;
