    Residential Uses Code
Comment: The proposal has been assessed against and is consistent with all of the relevant specific outcomes
outlined in the following tables within the Residential Uses Code. Refer to the assessment tables within
Appendix B of this report;
•           Table 14.24 Specific Outcomes and Probable Solutions for all Residential Uses, and

    Landscaping Code
Comment: In regards to landscaping requirements advice was sought from Noosa Council. Council officers
advised that a minimum of 10% of the site area was required to be landscaped. Demonstrated within drawing
18043-DA02 and Table 3, 303m2 of landscaping has been achieved.
Indicative streetscape and rear landscaping treatments are illustrated in drawing 18043-DA05. Landscaping
plans which detail species, quantity and size of plantings will be provided to Council with the submission of the
Operational Works application.
The proposed design incorporates varied landscaping treatments to create a lush, sub-tropical and inviting

spaces within the development.
