                                                               15024 – Noosa Council April 2016




   •   the site layout and design of the office component carpark provides for soft
       landscaping with the Community House providing undercover parking, but
       substantial landscaping to the frontage and around the building (O22).

The proposed development meets the specific and overall outcomes and the purpose of
the Driveway and Carparking Code.

6.6    Landscaping Code
The proposed development has been considered against the most relevant specific
outcomes of the Landscaping Code as follows:
   • the proposed development provides sufficient landscaping, being about 18.2% for
      the Stage 1 of the office use, excluding parking and manoeuvring areas, 56.8% for
      Stage 2 of the office use and 91% for the open space use (refer Cover Sheet
      Attachment 3A), as shown on the proposed Landscape Concept Plan (refer
      Attachment 3F), which will enhance the visual amenity and character of the area
      in accordance with the relevant policy (O1);
   • the proposed site layout and landscape design provides for soft landscaping to be
      established around the development including for the office component and the
      Community House (O2);
   • the Concept Landscaping Plan (Attachment 3F) has been provided by a landscape
      architect and complies PSP3 Landscaping Plants and Guidelines (O3);
   • the proposed landscaping for the development will complement and enhance the
      existing streetscape character (O16);
   • the proposed landscaping for the office component of the development having a
      6m building setback to David Low Way and about a 6m building setback to
      Woodland Drive, allows for substantial landscaping to be provided to the frontage
      and the carparking area; further substantial landscaping is to be provided within
      the open space area and around the proposed Community House building (O19).

The proposed development complies or is able to be conditioned to comply with the
other relevant specific outcomes and therefore meets the overall outcomes and purpose
of the Landscaping Code.

collectively form the Engineering Works Codes, including the Driveways and Carparking
Code above. These other codes include:
