Executive summary

The purpose of this plan is to identify appropriate uses and guide management actions for Noosa Parklands Park (hereafter referred to as the ‘park’). It was developed with consideration of the park’s values, the views of key stakeholders and other management considerations. It aligns with Noosa Council’s overarching approach to managing recreational parks and bushland reserves.

Noosa Council identified that an updated management plan for Noosa Parklands Park was required to maintain and enhance the natural and cultural values, manage pest plants and animals, and provide for and manage recreational uses.

The planning process to develop this plan included:

• a desktop review - to collate relevant literature and identify key values of the park

• stakeholder consultation – to ensure that key stakeholders were informed of the process and given the opportunity to provide feedback

• development of the management plan – based on the park’s values identified throughout the consultation and literature review stages.

The area known as Noosa Parklands Park (the park) is made up of a cluster of Council owned recreational parks and bushland reserves including:

• Heritage Park

• Heritage Park Bushland Reserve

• Harlow Bushland Reserve

• Satinay Bushland Reserve

• Palm Grove Park

• Palm Grove Park Bushland Reserve

• Lomandra Park

• Lomandra Bushland Reserve.

| Noosa Council


These parcels were dedicated as public open space in the 1980s as part of the Noosa Parklands housing estate development. The development was promoted as having an ‘undisturbed natural environment’ and ‘parkland and playground for families’. The park is zoned for open space conservation under the Noosa Council Plan.

The management vision for the park is to: “protect and enhance the natural, cultural and social values of bushland reserves and recreational parks in Noosa Parklands, while providing local residents and visitors with outdoor recreational opportunities.”

The park contains a number of key environmental, cultural and recreational values that are important to protect for both local residents and visitors. These include:

• Landscape connectivity – the park’s vegetated landscape assists in linking habitat between Tewantin National Park, and more broadly, Noosa and the Great Sandy National Park.

• Waterbodies – the park is within the lower Noosa River Catchment and contains the main branch of Wooroi Creek along with three minor tributaries, a small lagoon and an artificial dam. The integrity of the park’s waterbodies (including natural vegetation) also assists with maintaining water quality in Noosa River.

• Flora and fauna – there are more than 300 native flora, and 294 native fauna species which have been observed in the park. Of these, ten are considered to be threatened. An active bushland care group undertakes regular environmental works in the bushland reserve areas.

• Indigenous and European cultural heritage – known European historical uses within the park include farming and timber collection. Council will continue to consult with Traditional Owners on park management matters.

• Recreation and social – the site is an important and valued recreational area for many local residents who enjoy walking, bike riding, exercising their dog and playing on grassed areas and on playground facilities. Key management considerations for the park include management of pest plants and animals, natural hazards (e.g. fire and flood), community engagement and monitoring opportunities.

Objectives (Section 2.2) and management actions (Section 5) have been identified for each natural, cultural and recreational values, along with associated implementation timeframes, responsibilities and required resources.

1. Introduction

The purpose of this plan is to identify appropriate management objectives and actions for Noosa Parklands Park (hereafter referred to as the ‘park’). This plan aligns with Noosa Council’s overarching approach to managing recreation parks and bushland reserves and was developed with consideration of park values and views of stakeholders.

1.1 Site description

The park is situated 10 km from Noosa Heads (Figure 1), within the locality of Tewantin. It is surrounded by Tewantin National Park, Harry Spring Conservation Park, Noosa Golf Course and Noosa Parklands residential estate. It can be accessed from Griffith Avenue and Carramar Street, as well as via numerous pedestrian pathways from surrounding streets.

The park is made up of a cluster of eight Council managed recreational parks and bushland reserves (Appendix 3), which together occupy approximately 32.75 ha. It is within the Noosa local government area (LGA) and under the Noosa Plan 2013 (Noosa Council 2013) is zoned as open space conservation. It is located within the lower Noosa River catchment and is characterised by both intact bushland and grassed recreation areas. The bushland area is made up of melaleuca wetlands and eucalyptus forests, which is part of a regional wildlife corridor that provides habitat for wildlife movement. The main branch of Wooroi Creek runs through the centre of the park along with three minor tributaries, a small lagoon and an artificial dam. The park provides opportunity for outdoor recreational activities and is popular for day use by local residents.

1.2 Background

The park was dedicated as public open space in the 1980s as part of the Noosa Parklands housing estate development. The development sales brochure states ‘an undisturbed natural waterway sprouting a lush growth of coastal riverine vegetation; a select variety of native species including palms, ferns, and melaleucas; and featuring a lagoon abloom with water lillies to attract the indigenous birdlife’. The brochure also promotes the park as a place for growing families with open space, for play and ball games, and tracks for walking and bike riding. Historical uses of the site are outlined in Section 3.4.

Today, the park has natural and semi-natural settings and offers the local community informal recreational activities such as walking, nature observations and recreational cycling. The basic recreational facilities provided are consistent with other reserves and parks within Noosa Shire that have the same setting. There is a passionate and invested group of local residents and bushcare volunteers who use the park and care about its future management.

A management plan for Heritage Park Bushland Reserve was written in 2006 (in draft, Noosa Council 2006), and included baseline information about the values of the park. Council identified that a management plan for the park (i.e. the cluster of eight recreational parks and bushland reserves) was required to: protect and enhance the natural and cultural heritage values; provide for and manage recreational uses; collate all known information and data; identify and prioritise management actions; and, ensure consultation with key stakeholders, including the local community.

1.3 Plan development, implementation and review

Planning process

Relevant reports and data available for Noosa Council and Noosa Parklands Park have been reviewed (see references). This information assisted in identifying the key values of the park and developing the objectives and management actions outlined in this management plan.

To align with the priority of “community engagement and communication” identified in Council’s Corporate Plan 2014-2019 (Noosa Council 2014; Appendix 2), key stakeholders (Appendix 4) were consulted during the development of this management plan. This included:

1. An internal stakeholder meeting with Council held at Tewantin in December 2015.

2. A site visit on the 16th December 2015 with representative local residents and members of the Heritage Park Bushland Care Group to discuss the key values of the park.

3. Key stakeholder feedback was sought on the first draft management plan.

4. Community feedback was sought on the draft management plan via ‘have your say’ on the Noosa Council website and two public meetings.

5. All feedback was considered for the final management plan, which was communicated to all key stakeholders.

Implementation of the plan

The management actions outlined in this plan (Section 5) specify responsibilities and timeframes for each management action. This plan will remain current for five (5) years.

Unless otherwise stated, Council’s Parks and Natural Areas team is responsible for implementing this plan.

Monitoring and evaluation

Council will review the Plan on an annual basis to inform their operational budget.

2 Management context

Noosa Shire has a resident population of more than 53,000 people, which significantly increases during peak holiday periods. With a total land area of 871 km2, the Noosa Shire encompasses a number of national parks, state forests, bushland reserves and recreation parks. This includes 159 bushland reserves covering an area of 2,633 ha (managed by Council’s Parks and Natural Areas team).

This plan aligns with Noosa Council’s overarching approach to managing bushland reserves and recreation parks. There are key state and local agreements, strategies, plans and policies (Appendix 2) that provide the basis for the development and implementation of this management plan.

2.1 Vision

The vision for management of the park is to: “protect and enhance the natural, cultural and social values of bushland reserves and recreational parks in Noosa Parklands, while providing local residents and visitors with outdoor recreational opportunities.”

2.2 Management objectives

The park is managed for conservation and recreation (Figure 1).

The management objectives for each of the key values found within the park are listed below (Table 1).

3 Park values

The key natural, cultural heritage and recreational values identified for the park are outlined below. This is based on a review of the available literature for the park, as well as through stakeholder consultation.

Corresponding management actions for each value are included in Section 5.

3.1 Landscape connectivity

Noosa Shire is a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Biosphere (Appendix 2). The park cluster is an important link in the vegetation network that connects surrounding National Park and Conservation Park. Strategically, the park is part of a broader bioregional wildlife corridor connecting with Noosa National Park, Great Sandy National Park and the Bushland Reserve network (EHP 2015; Figure 2).

From a local perspective, the park provides an important linkage within local vegetation networks. For example, the adjoining Noosa Golf Club is part of Council’s Land for Wildlife program and visitors can see koalas and kangaroos using this area, and Tewantin National Park next door provides habitat for many native species. However, there are a number of existing barriers that limit the safe movement of wildlife from the park to these surrounding conservation areas (e.g. Cooroy-Noosa Road).

Climate change is predicted to place added pressure on native species. Therefore, protecting and enhancing key landscape connections, such as the park, is essential for native fauna and flora movement and survival. The actions identified in this plan will assist in managing the implications of climate change by: identifying and protecting key values; promoting genetic diversity and resilience of native species; and maintaining healthy and resilient ecosystems.

3.2 Waterbodies

The park is within the lower Noosa River Catchment and the Wooroi Creek sub-catchment which is a tributary of the lower Noosa River. The headwaters of Wooroi Creek begin approximately 2 km south-west, draining sections of the Tewantin National Park prior to entering the park on its southern and western borders. Within the park, the main branch of Wooroi Creek runs from west to east, with three minor tributaries adjoining from the south.

Wooroi Creek and its tributaries only flow and hold water for a limited period following rainfall, with some natural ponding of water occurring throughout the year. There are two semi-permanent instream water bodies: (i) a small lagoon situated at the southern end of Parkview Court, and (ii) a dam situated north of Lomandra Place. Both waterbodies are likely to provide habitat for various common native (and exotic) small bodied fish species, and utilised by amphibians, small reptiles and avifauna (Section 3.3). The lagoon is known to contain salvinia (Salvinia molesta), a declared class two aquatic pest plant (Section 4.1).

Vegetation along the creek banks and instream is critical to help absorb the force of the water and therefore reduce its capacity to erode the banks. This vegetation (especially native grasses and other groundcover plants within the instream section) also helps to maintain good water quality by filtering sediments, nutrients and pollutants from run-off before it enters the park’s waterbodies and flows downstream to Noosa River. Conversely, vegetation also limits the amount of debris and sediment which flows into grassed recreational areas during heavy rainfall events. Bank vegetation and submerged logs provide food and habitat for fish and other aquatic life (Department of Natural Resources and Water [DNRM] 2006; Section 3.3 below).

3.3 Native plants and animals

The majority of the park supports remnant vegetation and is dominated by vegetated swamp and open forest. Within the park, 301 native plant species and 294 native animal species (including nine mammals, 18 reptiles, 13 frogs, 99 birds, 23 spiders, 131 insects, two snails and six fish and crustaceans) have been recorded (Appendix 6 and 7). This includes ten threatened species of State and/or Commonwealth significance, including migratory species such as the rainbow bee-eater (Merops ornatus).

The park supports essential habitat for a number of legislatively significant fauna including koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), Richmond birdwing butterfly (Ornithoptera richmondia), wallum froglet (Crinia tinnula), wallum rocket frog (Litoria freycineti) and wallum sedge frog (Litoria olongburensis) (DNRM 2015). Over the last two years, there have been koala sightings along the pathway towards Billabong Way. The wallum froglet has been recorded in a known frog breeding area, which is a low and mostly waterlogged area along the walkway from Palmer Crescent. Richmond birdwing butterflies have been sighted at a number of locations within the park, including near Honeywell Court entrance, behind Cedarleigh Drive and behind Palmer Crescent.


Noosa Council |


The park is mapped as low to medium value bushland under the State Planning Policy (SPP) (EHP 2010) and local mapping undertaken by Noosa Council identifies the park as a known koala habitat area. Current regional ecosystem (RE) mapping (DNRM 2015) indicates that the northern sections of the park (i.e. Satinay Park and Harlow Park) and one small area at the southern side of Heritage Park are mapped as containing endangered remnant vegetation communities (under the Vegetation Management Act 1999 [VM Act]) (Table 3; Figure 3). The remaining areas of the park are mapped as least concern.

The Melaleuca quinquenervia wetland community within the park (i.e. RE 12.3.5) plays an important role in buffering the waterbodies from sedimentation and nutrient inputs (Section 3.2). It is habitat for rare and threatened flora and fauna species such as wallum frogs and the large hollow bearing trees provide nesting opportunities for a range of fauna species including birds and arboreal mammals. Run-off from the adjacent urban areas can impact this vegetation community through pest plant dispersal, chemical contaminants and elevated nutrient levels. Other threats include wildfire and invasion by pest plant species, particularly at the interface with residential and park areas. Myrtle rust has been recorded within the park, and infected Myrtaceae species are still being found.

The eucalyptus open forest areas of the park (i.e. RE12.5.3/12.5.6) are less disturbed, with no cleared areas or infrastructure for recreation purposes. The large hollow bearing trees provide nesting opportunities for a range of fauna species. Wildfire, vegetation clearing and pest plant invasion, particularly at the interface with residential areas as a result of dumping of garden waste, are the biggest threats to this vegetation community within the park.

On a local context, these remnant vegetation communities have been mapped on the Biodiversity Overlay Map (OM) 9.1 as an environmental protection area, with the vegetation along Wooroi Creek and its tributaries being further protected as riparian buffer areas (Noosa Council 2013).

3.4 Indigenous and European cultural heritage

Although there are no recorded Indigenous cultural heritage sites within the park, there are a number of known sites within Tewantin including scar trees, middens, canoe trees and corroboree places (Noosa Council et al. 2004). Noosa Council will continue to follow legislation, policy and best practice in the conservation and protection of Indigenous cultural heritage sites and values, and where required, consult with Traditional Owners on park management matters.

Known European historical uses within the park include farming and timber collection, which has had an impact on the natural condition of the park. The area was heavily harvested for native hardwood species in the late twentieth century and evidence of this can be found in the park, including a large tree stump with springboard wedges cut into it left by the timber workers.

| Noosa Council


3.5 Recreation opportunities

The park’s proximity to the centre of Tewantin and surrounding residential area provides significant opportunity for outdoor recreational opportunities and community engagement, especially for local residents. Protection of the park’s natural and cultural heritage values (Section 3.1 to 3.4) can provide benefits to the community by preserving ecosystem services, scenic amenity and enhancing catchment and cultural values. The park also links residents with surrounding recreation areas, including Tewantin National Park.

The park has multiple recreational user types including bushwalkers, trail runners, nature observers, recreational cyclists and dog owners. It is also used more broadly for social gatherings. The park is designated as having a natural to semi-natural setting and therefore the following basic recreational facilities are provided to support these uses, and for other service requirements (Figure 4):

• picnic table and shelter

• dog on-leash and off-leash areas

• playgrounds and basketball court

• recreation trails and bridges

• regulatory and directional signage

• service tracks and fire trails

• gates to prevent access from unauthorised vehicles.

The majority of this infrastructure, along with the mown open grassed areas, is located within the park’s recreational areas (Figure 4). To delineate between the recreational park and bushland reserve areas within the park, wooden bollards have been installed and native plants including matrush (Lomandra longifolia) have been planted along much of this interface. Matrush is a common native species used for edge planting in landscaped areas to demarcate zones, stabilise areas, limit access and therefore reduce the impact on natural waterbodies and regenerated areas. Council’s Park’s and Natural Areas team have an inspection and maintenance regime for the park’s infrastructure, including the playgrounds, basketball court and pathways (Appendix 8).

In comparison with other parks in Noosa Shire, the park has relatively low visitation levels and current facilities are adequate for demand. However this plan proposes the development of a linking pathway at the southern end of Heritage Park, raising the height of some pathway sections due to occasional inundation, the provision of a bench seat at two of the playgrounds (one playground already has picnic tables), the provision of a netball hoop at the basketball court and installation of additional interpretative and directional signage at the main entry points to the park (see Figure 4). The development of this additional infrastructure is subject to Council’s shire wide priorities and budget deliberations. The remaining areas of the park are undeveloped and densely vegetated, and there is no new infrastructure planned for these areas.

4 Key management considerations

4.1 Pest plants and animals

Pest plants and animals can be a threat to the conservation values of native ecosystems, as they can out-compete native species. Conversely, some non-native plants can actually perform a positive environmental role by minimising erosion and providing refuge areas for native wildlife. This role should be acknowledged and managed when replacing pest plants with natives, for example through staged removal and revegetation along waterways.

Previous land uses (e.g. timber harvesting; Section 3.4) have disturbed parts of the park, encouraging pest plant growth. Impacts from surrounding residential properties, including garden waste dumping, clearing of native vegetation and exotic garden escapees, have also impacted on the park’s native vegetation communities.

Within the park, 124 pest plants and four pest animals have been recorded (Appendix 6 and 7). The Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 (LP Act) identifies pest plants and animal species and sets criteria for their management. A number of pests described as Class 2 and Class 3 under the LP Act occur within the park (Table 4). According to the LP Act, landowners (i.e. Noosa Council) are to take reasonable steps to control Class 2 pests (and Class 3 pests when in or adjacent to environmentally significant area). (Note: The Biosecurity Act 2014 came into effect on 1 July 2016 and supersedes previous legislation concerning pest species. Provisions regarding pest control still apply).

Council currently manages pest plants and animals within the park in line with the Noosa Local Government Area Pest Management Plan 2015-2019 (Noosa Council 2015a; Appendix 2). Noosa Council (2015a) also identifies priority pest species and their operational objectives (Table 4). The intent of the Pest Management Plan is to focus on priority species where it is likely the pests can be practically contained or eradicated. The Bush Regeneration Plan for Heritage Park Bushland Reserve (Ecological Natural Area Management 2007) and Heritage Park Network Bushland Operational Assessment (BOA; Noosa Council 2010) outlines management zones, priorities and methods for regeneration works within this section of the park. This bush regeneration plan will need to be updated to reflect the actions in this plan and to review current and future priorities.

To protect fauna populations within the park, domestic animals are prohibited within the park except for dogs on-leash (and off-leash in the one designated area; Figure 4). Any incidents of unauthorised domestic animals present within the park are handled under Council’s relevant local laws (e.g. Noosa Shire Council Local Law Number 2 Animal Management).

Table 4 Priority pest species that have been recorded within the park (Noosa 2015a)

Noosa Council’s Parks and Natural Areas team, along with qualified contractors and the Heritage Park Bushland group, currently treat the priority pest plant species (Table 4) throughout a number of zones identified in the park’s BOA. Other weed species, such as paragrass (Urochloa mutica) in the lagoon, are also recommended for control consistent with shire-wide priorities. The riparian vegetation of Wooroi Creek plays an essential role in maintaining water quality and reducing the transport of sediment into th Noosa River. Ecological restoration activities follow best practice guidelines for erosion and sediment control. Vegetation plantings are not to extend past bollards onto grassed recreation areas. (Section 3.5; Figure 4).

Salvinia (a Class 2 pest plant), occurs in one of the park’s lagoons. It is unknown how the infestation occurred but it is possible there is an upstream source. A range of options are available for ongoing management of salvinia, including (i) manual removal, (ii) biological control using weevils and (iii) frog friendly herbicides. However no method provides complete elimination of salvinia from a water body. In the past, Noosa Council has manually removed salvinia from the park’s lagoon using nets, which cost Council $4,620 for one treatment. Under the right conditions aquatic weeds can spread rapidly. Therefore to keep the volume of Salvinia down, this practice would need to be repeated several times per year, particularly in spring and summer (i.e. at a cost of $15,000 per year). There is also a risk of spreading salvinia offsite from equipment and disposal sites. More recently Council has trialled biological control

(weevil) of salvinia within the lagoon, but due to non-optimal conditions (i.e. shaded waterbody) this wasn’t successful. The Salvinia has spread to a downstream lagoon. It is unlikely that Salvinia will ever be eradicated from the lagoon. It is a recommendation of the Plan that further investigation be made into methods of control to reduce the extent of Salvinia in Wooroi Creek.

The Heritage Park Bushland Care Group was formed in 2003 and is made up of community members who play an active role in managing remnant bushland within the park. The group has completed numerous projects within the bushland areas of the park (Figure 4) including focussed management on the priority pest plants (Table 4) and other invasive pest plant species such as setaria and para grass. The group has received a number of State and Federal grants to assist with regeneration works, including most recently the Heritage Park Healthy Habitat Project, funded by the Queensland Government Everyone’s Environment grants program. This project will involve controlling pest plants and planting 600 native trees, plants and shrubs along Wooroi Creek. The project aims to improve the water quality of the creek and re-establish native plants for the wildlife listed as vulnerable under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NC Act) including koalas, the Richmond birdwing butterfly and the glossy black cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami). The group also participates in working bees once a month and have facilitated tree planting activities within the park by Girl Guides and local schools.

4.2 Natural hazards

The Noosa Local Disaster Management Plan 2015-16 (Noosa Council 2015b) identifies fire and flood as being the highest risks for the Noosa Shire.

The majority of the park is mapped as medium bushfire hazard on the Natural Hazard Bushfire OM 9.4 (Noosa 2013), with one small section of high bushfire hazard in the north east section of the park. Noosa Council manages the park’s fire hazards according to the guidelines and actions within the Noosa Bushland Reserve Fire Management Plan 2015 (Noosa Council 2015c). As per this fire management plan there is a focus on developing the fire trail network (Figure 4). The width of the fire trail; depends on topography and requirements for a safe separation between fire crews and vegetation. Council has a maintenance regime for maintaining these fire trails as per the Noosa Bushland Reserve Fire Management Plan 2015 (Noosa Council 2015c; Appendix 8). This plan proposes further developing the bushland reserve fire trail network and widening in select areas (Figure 4). A 1 m clearance beside boardwalks is also recommended as a measure to protect timber from a potential bushfire. Council has engaged experts to assess bushfire fuel hazard for the park. Once completed, Council will be able to determine the need for further fire trail works and potential planned burns.

There are no landslide or flood hazard areas mapped within the park on OM 9.3 (Noosa 2013), but there has been localised flooding recorded within the park, in proximity to property boundaries and minor road flooding (pers. comm. with resident) (see also Section 3.2). Wooroi Creek, which meanders through the park, naturally floods during severe rain events (e.g. 2008, 2013 and 2015), similar to other creeks and rivers in the Noosa Shire and SEQ. The level of flooding is directly related to the amount and intensity of rainfall in the catchment, not the amount of vegetation or debris in a naturally meandering creek. A flood investigation completed by a specialist hydraulic consultancy (Hydrology & Water Management Consulting 2015) determined that removing natural debris1 from the entire Noosa Parklands floodplain

and creek would provide only minor or relatively short term reduction in major event flood peaks, unless where debris is located near a hydraulic structure (e.g. culverts) that is at risk of becoming blocked. Generally, clearing of all natural debris from Noosa Shire natural creek systems is not considered best practice for flood mitigation (Hydrology & Water Management Consulting 2015). It is a recommendation of this Plan that there is no removal of natural debris from Wooroi Creek and Council resources are best served on more effective maintenance, such as routine stormwater and culvert works.

Hydrology and Water Management Consulting also examined the potential effect of Lomandra plantings on flooding. Lomandras are planted along the edge of mown areas to define and protect adjacent bushland reserves. The consultants concluded that it is unlikely that Lomandra will have a significant impact during large flood events as the waters simply overflow the plants. During minor/moderate flood events, the Lomandras may impact on minor localised flooding only, and have recommended that any new plantings be well spaced to allow for drainage.

Council maintenance of trees within the park complies with the Tree Management on Public Land Policy (Noosa 2015d), including removing fallen and/or damaged trees. Council’s Parks and Natural Areas team also completes regular pathway and fire trail inspections throughout the year to check for fallen and damaged trees. It is recommended that any hazardous trees that have to be felled and cut are chipped onsite or removed. This plan supports the case for additional arborist resources to undertake pro-active risk/benefit assessments within recreation areas. Any incidents of unauthorised interference with native vegetation on the park will be dealt with under relevant Council local laws (e.g. Noosa Shire Council Local Law Number 4 Local Government Controlled Areas, Facilities, Infrastructure and Roads).

Council’s Pest and Vector Control Officer completes regular surveys of the mosquito species present within the park. The main ‘biting’ mosquito that breeds within the park is Aedes procax, which lay their eggs in temporary ground pools or in shaded vegetation (rather than in stagnant water like other species). This species has rarely been recorded in parts of the creek and are normally within the bushland areas. Other mosquitoes recorded within the park are likely to travel from surrounding bushland areas such as Tewantin National Park. Therefore, it is unlikely that any vector controls within the park’s creeks will significantly impact on mosquito populations.

4.3 Community engagement, education and interpretation

A number of local residents have expressed a great interest in the conservation and recreation management of the park. Further community engagement will be undertaken through the management plan public consultation process. This provides an opportunity to promote the park and encourage ownership and understanding of the parks unique values to the local community. In the past the Heritage Park Bushland Care Group has held open days, inviting residents to be part of the program and exchange ideas on how to best manage the park. Other locals have taken the initiative by consulting with the local residents on park management matters. Volunteers continue to play an important role in helping to protect the park and educating the community on the parks natural and recreation values.

One approach to foster education and appreciation of the values of the park is to upgrade and develop interpretive and direction signage in key areas (e.g. at entry points; Figure 4). There is an opportunity to further develop the park’s interpretive material, by:

• installing interpretive signage highlighting key conservation values and management programs within the picnic area and along walking trails

• installing a notice board with interpretative information (and upcoming events within the park; including restoration activities)

• creating a self-guided interpretive recreational trails

• updating information on the Noosa Council website

• publishing informative articles within the free local paper.

This will assist in orientating visitors with the natural values around them, which can greatly enhance their visit. Consequently it can raise understanding and appreciation of the park’s values, encourages appropriate behaviour, reduces potential management issues and contributes to a broader understanding of the park’s management objectives and the natural environment in general.

4.4 Research and monitoring

There have been a number of previous informal studies into the park’s values, including flora and fauna surveys. Further research and monitoring of the park’s values will be undertaken on an as needs basis, or when specific projects arise (e.g. university research). The outcomes of research projects and monitoring programs can provide information to feed back into this management plan during subsequent reviews.

Description

South East Queensland Koala Conservation State Planning Regulatory Provision (SPRP)

EHP Outlines requirements for the assessment of development applications to ensure the impact of new development on koalas is minimised. Logan City contains some priority koala assessable development areas.

South East Queensland Natural Resource Management Plan 2009–2031 (SEQ NRM) And South East Queensland Natural Assets Status Report 2015

South East Queensland Catchments (SEQC)

The SEQ NRM outlines measurable targets (aligned to DRO and policies in the SEQ Regional Plan) regarding the condition and extent of environment and natural resources

The South East Queensland Natural Assets status report evaluated 12 targets as part of the 2014 Update of the SEQ NRM Plan. Case studies used in this report gave a snapshot of that community, industry and government efforts to meet these targets. Despite this effort, the results showed a declining state of the natural asset being measured. To maintain and enhance the productivity of critical natural assets further work needs to be done to improve water, air and coastal condition, habitat for key species (such as koalas) and open space for recreation.

South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009–2031 (SEQ Regional Plan)

Department of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning (DILGP)

Informs state and local planning policies and priorities to manage regional growth sustainably. The aim of the SEQ Regional Plan is to protect the region from inappropriate development whilst managing future growth areas. It includes desired regional outcomes (DRO) relevant to Logan City conservation areas.

Noosa Biosphere Reserve®

Noosa Biosphere Reserve Foundation®

In September 2007 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s (UNESCO) Man and the Biosphere Program (MAB) designated the Noosa shire as a biosphere reserve. It was a first for Queensland and recognised the region’s outstanding biodiversity values and community commitment to best practice approaches to sustainability. The Noosa Biosphere Reserve® encompasses a total of 150,000 hectares of land and numerous waterways and extends approximately 3km seawards.

“It provides a focus for the Noosa community’s aspirations to continue to strive for a sustainable future, to work together to build economies, communities, and knowledge and to ensure our natural ecosystems and biodiversity is valued, cared for, improved and conserved.”

Noosa Biosphere is a registered trademark of Noosa Council

Noosa Council Corporate Plan 2014-2019

Noosa Council Sets the overarching strategic goals and key priorities for Council over a five year period from 2014 to 2019.

The Corporate Plan is supported by an annual operational plan, which outlines specific projects that Council will adopt each year as part of its budget process.

There are seven key priorities outlined in the Corporate Plan, with the two most relevant to management of reserves and parks being:

Community engagement and communication – Council will involve the community in decision making on key issues affecting the future of Noosa.

Custodianship of Noosa’s environment – Council will continue to apply best practice to its custodianship to Noosa’s natural environment aiming to enhance local biodiversity for the benefit of future generations.

Description

Noosa Plan 2013 Noosa Council Is the planning scheme for the Noosa Council and sets down the planning framework to guide its future. The Noosa Plan (Noosa Council 2013): • outlines the desired environmental outcomes

sought for Noosa as a whole and for its localities• allocates land for different uses• coordinates and integrates infrastructure and land

use planning• identifies areas or places that constrain the use

of land due to their environmental value, resource value or their adverse effects on development

• identifies the kind of development that requires approval (assessable development) or that can be carried out without approval if certain requirements are met (self-assessable development)

• specifies the development standards or criteria for assessing the suitability of a development proposal.

• regulates vegetation clearing through the provisions of the Biodiversity Overlay.

Noosa Local Disaster Management Plan 2015-16

Noosa Council Is based upon the principles contained in the Queensland Disaster Management Act 2003. It takes an all hazards approach to disaster events, and details Council’s commitment to building resilient communities by developing and implementing specific strategies to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from a disaster. This includes threat specific plans for high risk areas such as wildfire and flood.

The Noosa Bushland Reserve Fire Management Plan 2015

Noosa Council Is based on the requirements of the Fire and Rescue Service Act 1990. It is a three year plan to initiate fire management actions including: • a program of fire hazard risk assessments across

the bushland reserve network• the prioritisation of reserves for fire management

actions • the establishment and improvement of fire trail

networks and fuel reduction zones • planning for ecological burning • systems and processes for managing bushfire on

bushland reserves • the initiation of bushland reserve neighbour

bushfire education campaigns in conjunction with QFES

• capacity building with Federal and State fire management agencies and other large landholders to manage bushfire and assist with planned burns

• improving Council’s fire management capacity through staff training and the purchase of fire equipment

• communication processes with key stakeholders such as Bushland Care Groups.

Description

Noosa Local Government Area Pest Management Plan 2015-2019

Noosa Council Establishes local priorities, strategies and actions to address the impacts of pest plants and pest animals. It targets pest species that are declared pests under the Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 as well as non-declared locally significant pests. The Plan applies to all land and waterways within the boundaries of the Noosa LGA, including land owned or controlled by the State, Council and individuals

The plan does not consider endemic native species protected under the NC Act that can be a problem species to some people (e.g. snakes) or domestic or public health pests (e.g. mosquitoes). Council supports Biosecurity Queensland in managing public health pests and pathogens (e.g. myrtle rust).

There are a number of federally and State declared pest and locally significant pests that have been recorded within the park (Section 4.1).

According to the plan, the park is designated as a Council Controlled Environmentally Significant Area (ESA) under the LP Act, which provides an added protection against pest plants and pest animals.

The Noosa River Catchment and Estuary Management Plan 2012-15

Sunshine Coast Council

States that the ecological qualities and economic values of the river system are highly sensitive to change. Current pressures include population and tourism growth, increased boating numbers and human activities in, and adjacent to, the river. The plan outlines desired environmental outcomes of preserving riparian vegetation and the need to preserve lands held in conservation tenure.

Vegetation management within the urban sub-catchments of Wooroi Creek is a management focus within the plan (Section 3.2).

Noosa Council This study recognise that all remnant native vegetation in the Noosa LGA is of significance and value and therefore is worthy of protection.

Council Policies Noosa Council Noosa Council has a number of policies to support council’s vision for the region to assist with good decision making processes. The policies are reviewed regularly, ensuring they are current and relevant. Relevant policies for the park include the Koala Conservation Policy and Tree Management on Public Land Policy.

Local Government By-Laws

Noosa Council In 2015, Noosa Shire Council adopted a new suite of local laws, which help to regulate a range of activities to ensure the good governance, health and safety of Noosa residents and visitors. The local laws address a number of issues relevant to management of the park, including: approvals for activities, neighbourhood nuisances (e.g. noise, illegal dumping and graffiti) and dog off-leash areas. Council issues infringements according to local laws and state laws.
