Vegetation Removal & Landsc~ping Requirements


48) Vegetation was required to be removed to enable water mains infrastructure to be inserted along the Brewers Rd and allow
for access to the newly subdivided properties. Significant vegetation, including tall standing Eucalyptus species, was retained

during excavation. The dam and vegetation immediately surrounding the dam was untouched during this process.                                                   In addition

several large trees on the future allotments were removed to enable land fill and drainage works to comply with the "MUSIC"

report requested by Council.


49)Vegetation was cleared by contractors employed by the Landholder, other than Noosa and District Landcare. Some of the
trees removed were chipped and will be used for mulch during the planting process, in line with processing method as per

Decision Notice condition 49.3.



50) As the removal of the vegetation fell on the footpath, outside of property boundary. The Landholder has employed Noosa
and District Landcare to undertake the revegetation, after the infrastructure has been completed.



51) Within this planting plan:
           51.1) The landholder will undertake street planting. Twelve addition trees will be planted along the roadside.
           51.2) Parkland areas: are to remain grassed as per guidelines, as addressed in condition 17 and by the Engineers
reports.
           51.3) Removal of undesirable species: as there are no significant bushland area adjacent to the Brewers Rd vegetation
strip, removal of undesirable species is not required and additional class 3 weed removal on the footpath of Brewers Rd. has
been deemed unnecessary by environmental officers.

           51.4) Revegetation of buffer areas to provide effective screening: this will be created by planting hardy endemic
species, which are suited to the property and will complement the existing vegetation and the property subdivision planning.
The planted species will provide canopy, mid-level vegetation and ground cover, to reduce the reoccurrence of weeds, but will

encourage native regeneration.

                                                            \

This plan is submitted in accordance with the guidelines. Maintenance of vegetation enhancement and replacement, and road

side planting will be maintained and is the responsibility of the Landholder.
