balloons on the relevant enclosed plans by QUOD Architecture. Those enclosed plans by Bird Landscape
Design identify the proposed planting regime in all proposed landscaped areas. These amendments
include

    (a) The width of the landscape strip within the site along its frontage to Hilton Terrace has been
        increased to 1.5m. and additional plants have been added and of a species that will further soften
        the development while further enhancing the amenity of the area.

    (b) Additional plants and species have been added in the 1.7m. wide landscape strip proposed along
        both side boundaries. These species, include for example, Backhousia myrtifolia ( i.e. grey
        myrtle), which is a native tree considered ideal for privacy hedges.

Item 3:          Landscaping

Applicant’s Response: The enclosed plans by Bird Landscape Design show the location and species of
the proposed street tree in the footpath. It should be noted that there is a pole mounted street light along
the site’s footpath which limits potential street tree planting. The proposed street is a Callistemon citrinus
(i.e. crimson bottlebrush) and a 25 litre specimen is proposed to be planted as part of the development
proposal.


Item 4:          Building Height & Fence Height

Applicant’s Response: The applicant has amended the plans to better confirm the maximum height in
metres of the proposed development. The enclosed plans by QUOD Architecture have been amended to
show reduced levels on the ridge of the proposed roof forms. It should be noted that the highest ridge is
proposed at 9.9m. on Australian Height Datum (AHD). These RLs are also contained to a red balloon on
these enclosed drawings so as to assist in their identification.

QUOD Architecture has also amended proposal plans to show the 4.5m high blanket above ground level and
the 8m. high blanket so that Council can better appreciate that the proposed dual occupancy building complies
with the preferences relating to building height and associated boundary setbacks in the 2020 Noosa Plan.
These amended plans are also enclosed with this response.
