Hello Residents of Noosa Waters. We are the newly appointed Community Consultation Managers for the new residential estate being created by Seymour Group on the land adjoining Noosa Waters. This is the former banana plantation farm.
Our role is to keep the Noosa Waters community and other key stakeholders informed about the new estate and address any issues that arise.
A quick snapshot on current site activities:
Initial site preparation is underway, for planned completion by July 2008. This has included a site cleanup and removal of tonnes of metal and discarded farm equipment. There have been a few surprises unearthed such as two old, compacted buses that looked as though they have been on the site for decades.
Several unused buildings have also been dismantled. With a commitment to environmentally sensitive construction, Seymour Group will recycle and re-use materials on-site such as the cement from the building foundations, which will be crushed and used for road base.
Some of the banana plants and bamboo have also been put to good use. Seymour Group has donated bamboo to the Australia Zoo to be re-planted and provide screening for the animals. The banana plants have also gone down a treat with the elephants at the Zoo.
Next steps will be to carry out further survey work to confirm the park areas and roads. This will include the retention of some 4.96ha of parkland that directly neighbours the Noosa Waters estate and is home to a variety of birdlife.
Seymour Group is keen to minimise impact on the local wildlife and has offered a $500 donation to the Noosa Waters Residents Association to purchase and install a series of bird nesting boxes at tree vantage points within the new estate.
In the near future, an information session will be scheduled for Noosa Waters residents to view plans and ask any questions. We will be liaising through your Noosa Waters Residents Association's nominated Liaison Co-ordinator, who will facilitate your ideas, or concerns, and will pass on news updates to you. The most current information will be available on your www.noosawaters.org website. Alternatively, don't hesitate to contact us on the details below.
