Planning Scheme Policy 03 (Coastal Beachside) Planting Guidelines

Soils
Soils to comply with Australian Standard ( AS4410) ‘Soil for Landscaping & Gardens’. Soils to have a similar structure to that existing
in the area. Approximate topsoil depths: turfed areas 100-150mm, shrubs 300mm & trees 500mm.

Mulching

After settling of a quality plant soil mix & once the plants are in place, planted areas are to have a semi decomposed, weed free Bush
mulch installed to a depth of 75-100mm but kept 50mm.

Ensure that there is a mulch free zone immediately surrounding the plant to avoid any rotting of the stems. Rake mulch smooth to
finish 20mm below surrounding finished levels.

Weeding & Fertilising

Due to the large selection proportion of tocal-native plants, care must be taken in the treatment of weeds & plant fertilisation. Only
Glysophate, a non residual herbicide is to be used to eradicate weeds. Slow release fertilisers that are nil or low in Phosphorus are to
be used upon planting and then approx 12 months afterwards on new plants & trees.

At garden & pathway interfaces, the edging is to finish flush so that obstacles & trip hazards are not created. With this site, most the
garden beds abut paving, sleeper retaining walls or fences. The proposed edging for the front garden, where the curved bed meets
the Mary River pebble, is continuous concrete kerbing.

Paving & Pavers in Lawn & Pebble

be sealed after laying for longevity. Paver-steppers to be lined with have geo-technical fabric underneath.
