Development Application - Part 2 of 2 - Report & Plans - OPW12/0322

The maps 1 and 4 indicate the approximate placement of the proposed 300 endemic species to be planted by Noosa landcare

and 12 additional trees for the road side planting, by the landholder. Additional trees removed from the property for the

"MUSIC" report are indicated..



Planting Schedule:

    1)   Plants are selected according to the Regional Ecosystem, endemic to Cooran and the topography area. The plants will

         be selected according to their resilience, and ability to create a buffer zone and corridor for wildlife. See table 2.

    2) After the removal of the trees within the planting area (approximately 4m wide from the property boundary towards
         Brewers Road), the trees removed will be chipped and later used for mulch. Maintenance is the responsibility of the

         landholder.

    3) Once the infrastructure has been finalised and the soil has been replaced, the landholder will lay mulch 2-4 inches thick.
    4) Planting of the tube stock will begin once the mulch has aged, heavy machinery has stopped, and the site has dried out
         sufficiently.
    5)   An aquaspear will be used to ensure that all plants are watered sufficiently and stress on tube stock is kept to a

         minimum

    6) Plants will be placed in where they are likely to thrive and spaced to reduce competition. No stakes or guards are to be
         used.

    7)   A 10gm fertiliser tablet will ensure effective establishment of trees and mitigate any effects caused by nitrogen draw

         down due to young mulch.

    8) The landholder will maintain the planting, remove or treat weeds, replace trees if required.


    9)   The landowner will plant 6 trees along the continuation of Tanderra Drive to comply with previous planting schedules.

         These trees will be Syzygium Hinterland Gold (Lilly Pillies) and a 10gm fertiliser tablet will be included to ensure

         effective establishment of these trees. The landowner has also indicated that he would plant a further 6 trees between

         the paired driveways off Brewers Road even though these were not called for. All disturbed areas will be grass seeded

         and fertilised.
