Page 7 of 48

The application for operational works must include a detailed Erosion and Sediment control plan prepared by a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control, in accordance with the International Erosion Control Association Best Practice Book Series, including:

a. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan must include for staging of construction to minimise the area of exposed soils at all times to an area whereby the contractor can practically cover all exposed soils with materials that will prevent the movement of soil (i.e. to a c-factor of 0.5) prior to any forecast rain event nominated and/or observed as likely to cause runoff from the site, regardless of whether those exposed areas flow to a sediment basin.

b. A sufficient supply of materials nominated as the contingency to cover exposed soils must be on site at all times, along with appropriate machinery and personnel for their deployment.

c. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall also include a High Efficiency flow through sediment basin sized and operated to treat 90% of the flows and to act as final polishing and contingency to achieve 50mgTSS/L where cover of exposed soils fails. The flow through sediment basin must remain operational from commencement of construction until the site is stabilised for operational purposes, regardless of the area of exposed soil.

d. Chemicals used for dosing of the flow through sediment basin must be proven to not become bioavailable or harm the ecology within the receiving wetland.

31. The wetland habitat below the Q100 line (1% AEP) must be protected from any risk of water balance changes or chemical changes associated with construction activities and the conduct of the approved use. A detailed Wetland and Swamp Crayfish Habitat Protection Management Plan must be submitted with any operational works application to demonstrate the wetland habitat will be protected from construction activities and the conduct of the approved use. The Wetland and Swamp Crayfish Habitat Protection Management Plan must demonstrate:

a. The water quality necessary for ongoing protection of the wetland;

b. How the Erosion and Sediment Controls for the site will prevent release of any constructed generated sediments and chemicals to the wetland; and

c. The ecological and biological requirements of the Swamp Crayfish and how these will be protected during construction and operation of the development.

LANDSCAPE & ECOLOGY

Landscaping & Vegetation Clearing

32. The development site must be landscaped. The works must be undertaken in accordance with an Operational Works approval and the Noosa Plan for that specific area and must include in particular:

REPORT

This report has been prepared in response to questions raised at the Planning and Environment Committee Meeting held on 7 August 2018 regarding:

Should amended plans be required now instead of a Preliminary Approval being issued?

The maintenance of water quality for the wetland, in particular the management of sediment during construction;

The provision of car parking for the existing development and extensions;

The measures for the ongoing protection of the wetland area, including the dedication of the proposed covenant area to Council; and

Do the wetland values mean the wetland should be classified as a referrable wetland due to the presence of an endangered species?

Amended Plans vs Preliminary Approval

The conditions of the Preliminary Approval require significant amendments to be made to the proposed layout, as the conditions essentially prohibit development from occurring within the site’s significant environmental areas. The final layout and number of beds able to be achieved is unknown at this stage and it is difficult to know exactly how many beds can be achieved until a redesign is undertaken.

Whilst it is preferable that amended plans are provided to Council prior to a decision being made by Council the opportunity to seek amended plans from the applicant is constrained by the Planning Act 2016 development assessment requirements. The application is code assessable and the decision period will currently end on the 17 August 2018, having being extended by the applicant once already to allow the matter to be presented to the August round of Council meetings.

The opportunity to obtain amended plans is contingent on the applicant agreeing to provide the plans and extend the decision period. If Council does not make a decision by the 17 August 2018 the applicant can provide notice requiring Council to issue an approval (deemed approval).

The applicant has advised in this regard that they are not agreeable to submitting amended plans or a further extension to the decision period and has requested that Council decide the application.

A Preliminary Approval does not authorise the development to proceed as the applicant must first obtain a Development Permit. The recommended conditions require the applicant to amend the proposed layout which can then either be assessed through a request for a Negotiated Decision Notice or a new development application.

Maintenance of Water Quality during Construction

The construction of the development including the importation of fill has the potential to result in sediment discharge into the wetland area. Under normal circumstances the management of sediment on construction sites would default to the requirements of the State Planning Policy. The policy requires 80% Hydrologic Effectiveness being the minimum standard for sediment controls on all exposed areas greater than 2500m2. In this instance given the downstream environment, wetland vegetation and endangered Swamp Crayfish, it is agreed that a higher level of protection is warranted for the site.

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 13 AUGUST 2018

Page 11 of 48

Accordingly, it is recommended that condition 30 be amended. Condition 30 currently reads:

30. Any person acting on this permit must prevent erosion and sediment export from leaving the site. Site control measures such as silt fencing, controlled gravel access to the site and controlled disposal of waste, will be necessary.

In this regard plans detailing the methods of controlling erosion and sediment are required to be submitted to the Council for approval prior to obtaining a Development Permit for Operational Works.

It is recommended that the condition be amended to read as follows:

30. Any waters discharging from the construction areas of the site to below the AEP 1% contour must achieve less than 50mg/L Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and pH suitable for the needs of the receiving wetland during all rain events.

The application for operational works must include a detailed Erosion and Sediment control plan prepared by a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control, in accordance with the International Erosion Control Association Best Practice Book Series, including

a. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan must include for staging of construction to minimise the area of exposed soils at all times to an area whereby the contractor can practically cover all exposed soils with materials that will prevent the movement of soil (i.e. to a c-factor of 0.5) prior to any forecast rain event nominated and/or observed as likely to cause runoff from the site, regardless of whether those exposed areas flow to a sediment basin.

b. A sufficient supply of materials nominated as the contingency to cover exposed soils must be on site at all times, along with appropriate machinery and personnel for their deployment.

c. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall also include a High Efficiency flow through sediment basin sized and operated to treat 90% of the flows and to act as final polishing and contingency to achieve 50mgTSS/L where cover of exposed soils fails. The flow through sediment basin must remain operational from commencement of construction until the site is stabilised for operational purposes, regardless of the area of exposed soil.

d. Chemicals used for dosing of the flow through sediment basin must be proven to not become bioavailable or harm the ecology within the receiving wetland.

It is also recommended that an additional condition be included that specifically addresses wetland and Swamp Crayfish habitat protection. The inclusion of a new condition will result in the renumbering of conditions. It is recommended that the condition be worded as follows:

31. The wetland habitat below the Q100 line (1% AEP) must be protected from any risk of water balance changes or chemical changes associated with construction activities and the conduct of the approved use. A detailed Wetland and Swamp Crayfish Habitat Protection Management Plan must be submitted with any operational works application to demonstrate the wetland habitat will be protected from construction activities and the conduct of the approved use. The Wetland and Swamp Crayfish Habitat Protection Management Plan must demonstrate:

a. The water quality necessary for ongoing protection of the wetland;

b. How the Erosion and Sediment Controls for the site will prevent release of any constructed generated sediments and chemicals to the wetland; and

c. The ecological and biological requirements of the Swamp Crayfish and how these will be protected during construction and operation of the development.

Car parking

After the completion of the initial officer’s report the applicant provided additional information regarding the amount of existing car parking on site. Based on this additional information there are an additional 8 car spaces on site than what was considered during the initial assessment, bringing the total number of existing car parking to 105 spaces for the existing 142 beds. This equates to a ratio of 0.74 car spaces per bed. The application seeks an additional 48 beds and proposes an additional 29 car spaces on site. The proposed combined total of 190 beds and 134 car spaces equates to a car parking ratio of 0.70. The proposed condition of the preliminary approval seeks a rate of 0.71 car spaces per bed, equating to one additional space than currently proposed by the applicant.

The assessment of car parking demands has also identified that additional car parking is required for special event days, including Christmas Day, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day and ANZAC Day. A rate of 0.21 car spaces is required per bed on event days which equates to 40 car spaces. This may include the existing 18 car spaces in the road reserve and temporary car parking within the site. Historically the special event day car parking has been managed on an ad-hoc basis which has seen car parking spill over into the surrounding area. The conditions of the preliminary approval seek that special event day car parking be appropriately managed in the future.

Ongoing Protection of Wetland

The recommended conditions currently seek to protect the wetland vegetation and the habitat of the endangered species via an environmental covenant registered over the title of the land. Councillors have queried whether the dedication of the land for the purpose of public land would provide for a more suitable level of protection given the significance of the site’s crayfish and previous management of the wetland. Dedication of the land for the purpose of public land is considered suitable as it allows Council to integrate management of the area with the adjoining Lomandra Park thus ensuring the protection of the significant environmental values.

Condition 35 currently reads:

35. A vegetation protection covenant must be registered against the title of the property over the land area identified as occurring at or below the 1 in 100 ARI (Q100) and to the east of the existing car park footprint on the Approved Plans pursuant to Section 97A of the Land Title Act 1994. The covenant document and a survey plan must be submitted to Council for endorsement prior to lodgement with the relevant titles authority for registration of title. The covenant document must:

a. incorporate the requirements of this Decision Notice

b. include Noosa Council as Covenantee

c. reference Queensland Land Title Registry Standard Terms Document No. 715597513.

It is therefore recommended that Condition 35 be amended, new conditions be included and subsequent re-numbering of conditions be undertaken. The new conditions will require the dedication of land area identified as occurring at or below the 1 in 100 ARI (Q100) and to the east of the existing car park footprint to be dedicated to Council as a reserve for Environmental Park purposes. Furthermore, additional conditions are proposed to include requirements for the removal of weed species and waste materials and the fencing of the area with durable chainwire.

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA 13 AUGUST 2018

Page 13 of 48

It is proposed that the conditions read as follows:

Dedication of Land as Reserve

35. Prior to the issue of an Operational Works approval for the development the land area identified as occurring at or below the 1 in 100 ARI (Q100) and to the east of the existing car park footprint must be dedicated to Council in fee simple on trust for the purpose of an Environmental Park.

The land to be dedicated is “non-trunk infrastructure” for the purposes of the Planning Act 2016.

36. The land area to be dedicated must by unencumbered by services such as pump stations, services easements or similar operational uses.

Works within Protected Land

37. The following works must be undertaken within the land to be dedicated to Council as reserve, and upstream to the Noosa Cooroy Road asphalt formation:

a. Management and control of all environmental weeds, defined as “undesirable species” in Council’s Planning Scheme Policy 3 Landscaping Plants and Guidelines for a minimum period of 24 months.

b. Removal of any waste materials foreign to the area.

c. Treatment of any tree hazards identified through a Council approved arborist report

The works must be undertaken in accordance with an Operational Works approval.

Fencing to Protected Land

38. A permanent fence must be constructed along the interface of the development site with the land area to be dedicated. The fence must be constructed in accordance with an Operational Works approval and must be to the following specifications:

a. 1.8 metres high;

b. Durable Chainwire; and

c. Educational Signage for wetlands protection

39. An Environmental Awareness and Education Brochure must be prepared and provided to personnel who manage the development. The brochure must provide educational information regarding the significance of the Swamp Crayfish, Melaleuca wetland and the potential negative impacts that may result from management activities such as the disposal of green wastes, bushfire management and stormwater management.

Status of Wetland

The Planning Regulation 2017 prescribe matters for which an application must be referred to the State. The regulations require referral of development within wetland protection areas which means an area shown on the Map of Referrable Wetlands. The subject site is not included within the Map of Referrable Wetlands.

Notwithstanding the above, Council’s Environment Officer has contacted the Department of Environment and Science advising of the ecological values of the site to allow the State to consider whether it has an interest in the wetland. This may result in the area being included in the Map of Referrable Wetlands in the future.

These tenders were assessed by the assessment panel in accordance with the following procurement probity plan evaluation criteria:

Capability and Resourcing

Contract Experience & Capacity

Methodology

Quality

Health and Safety

Environment & Sustainability

Contribution to Local Economy

Price

The evaluation methodology considered non-price elements (70% of the score) and a price component (30% of the score). At evaluation completion, Aussie Hydrovac Services Pty Ltd demonstrated a clear ability to meet non-price elements with the exception of the local criteria. Aussie Hydrovac Services Pty Ltd detailed that the company does not have a large presence in the immediate Noosa region; however are still located on the Sunshine Coast with some staff currently residing in the Noosa Shire area. Pricing was assessed by the application of tendered hourly costs into two (2) common work requirement scenarios - a Rapid Assessment work scenario and a Detailed Assessment work scenario. The outcome demonstrated Aussie Hydrovac Services Pty Ltd having provided a competitive rate. In the overall evaluation of both price and non-price criteria, the submission by Aussie Hydrovac Services Pty Ltd demonstrates value for money and therefore is recommended as the tenderer considered most advantageous to Council for 1718T146 Stormwater Infrastructure CCTV Inspections. Finance

As this is a schedule of rates contract, the total price is dependent on the quantity of work allocated to the contractor and the time taken to complete it. Historically, Council has spent between $170,000 and $200,000 per annum. The contract has an initial twenty-four (24) month term with the option to extend up to three (3) periods of up to twelve (12) months each, at Council’s sole discretion. Risks & Opportunities

Aussie Hydrovac Services Pty Ltd have demonstrated their competency in providing the skills to carry out stormwater CCTV inspections in a safe and effective manner, with the provision of all mandatory qualifications and in conjunction with a very thorough methodology to reduce Work Health and Safety risks during works. Aussie Hydrovac Services Pty Ltd have not worked with Noosa Council previously; however, work history illustrates the company has carried out and delivered similar work for multiple local government authorities. Referee checks confirmed this work was of a high standard. Additionally, Aussie Hydrovac Services Pty Ltd is familiar with Council’s reporting and inspection standards due to the company’s work for the Local Government Association.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Local Government Act 2009 and Local Government Regulation 2012 require Council to undertake regular reviews of the adopted budget to ensure it remains reflective of planned activities to be funded through the financial year. This first budget review for the 2018/19 financial year (BR1) incorporates:

Any capital or operating projects that were incomplete with unspent budgets at the close of the 2017/18 financial year and are eligible for carryover into the current budget year.

Any new or emergent actions arising from Council resolution, Executive Team or Capital Works Executive Committee action since the adoption of the original budget in July 2018.

In summary the budget review is proposing a decrease of $139k to Council’s operating surplus resulting in a revised operating surplus of $14k.Capital grant revenue has increased by $11k and the revised capital expenditure program equates to $31.2m.

REPORT

Section 170(3) of the Local Government Regulation 2012 allows Council, by resolution, to amend the budget at any time before the end of the financial year.

The key criteria for budget reviews include:

1. Council must maintain an operating surplus in the original budget year and ensure financial sustainability targets continue to be met.

2. The eligible capital or operating project must be underway with a commitment to deliver and complete the project.

3. Capital submissions will be reviewed and authorised by the Capital Works Executive group before inclusion as a budget review submission, where the group will consider justification for the request, deliverability as well as organisational and community priorities before endorsing any capital works.

4. All operating and capital submissions for additional spend, reallocation of savings or additional revenue will be confirmed by the Executive Team based on business risk assessment.

The revised statement of comprehensive income, included as Attachment 4, identifies the financial statement line items that have been affected by the proposed budget adjustments. The budget financial statements, included in Attachment 5, also identify the impact of the proposed budget adjustments to Council’s financial sustainability indicators. 1.
