The following codes from the Noosa Plan 2020 are applicable to the proposed changes:
• Landscaping Code
The applicant has provided amended plans demonstrating the works are generally in accordance
with the approved plans.
The development is considered generally in accordance with the development permit.
4. CONSULTATION
Not applicable
5. CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The changes are considered minor and are in keeping with the approval and can be considered
generally in accordance with the approval. The proposed development generally complies with the
requirements of the planning scheme and does not raise any significant issues. While the species
selection planted on site has deviated from the approved landscape plan and recommended
species list in the Landscaping Design Guidelines, it is considered the landscaping undertaken
generally meets the intended outcomes of the Landscaping Code in terms of setbacks, widths,
depths and density of planting. The landscaping is generally consistent with the character of the
surrounding area, and meets the requirements for buffering of the building from neighbouring
properties. The generally in accordance request is therefore recommended for approval.
The report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
