                     .       The         corridor             of     mature
                             vegetation which separates
                             the facility from the edge of
                             the lake in conjunction with
                             the       200m              setback              will
                             mitigate              potential            visual
                             impacts           from           recreational
                             users of Lake Cootharaba.

                     .       Although              the
                                              facility has
                             been sited adjacent to Lake
                             Flat Road (not identified as a
                             Major Road Network on the
                             Noosa Plan Strategy Map) a
                             sense        of       arrival         into       the
                             Boreen Point village will be
                             maintained as the facility will
                             only      become             intermittently
                             visible       at        a        few           minor
                             clearings         in    the       vegetation
                             aligning the                road.       These
                             views are not anticipated to
                             be visually obtrusive as Lake
                             Flat    Road           is    travelled              by
                             motor        vehicles            only          at     a

                             constant speed and does not
                             provide any opportunities for
                             vehicles                to             become
                             stationary        .




                     .   At    30 m      in height, the
                         majority of the proposed
                         facility will be screened from
                         view by this vegetation, of
                         which the tallest tree is 25 m.
                     .       Visual impacts will be further
                             mitigated by the slimline
                             monopole design and be
                             colour        matched                 to         the
                         surroundings (if requested
                         by Council).
                     .   The    proposed facility has
                         been appropriately sited on
                         the periphery of the township
                         (approximately 1 km) which
                         will essentially help mitigate
                             any views from Louis Bazzo
                             Drive.

                         appropriate                     setback             from

                         (setback              more           than          240m
                         from            the       closest         and           only
                         three (3) residential dwellings
                         within a 500m radius).
                     .   The             proposed              facility           is
                         setback               over           1 km          from
