THE NOOSA PLAN - Division 17 - Landscaping Code

 

 

As per Tal

ble 14-52 - Landscaping under The Noosa Plan

please note the following responses to Specific Outcomes and
Probable Solutions relevant to the Streetscape works.

14.152 General requirements
Streetscape and amenity - O01

a)

b), ¢)

dq), e), f)

g), h)

$1.2

Landscaped areas have been provided to
enhance the natural landscape character
Natural features such as existing trees will be
retained and including in buffer areas where
appropriate

Landscape areas have been designed to

soften the building bulk from the road and
species have been selected for height and form
responsive to the buildings and to screen and
shade roads, carparks and visable service areas
Existing vegetated buffering is to be retained and
improved through selective undergrowth clearing
and reinforcement plantings to major roadways
and new buffering is to be installed where this
development interfaces with adjoining existing
developments.

Landscaping has been designed and the
Indicative Plant Selection has been made from
the Woodlands / Open Forest Areas from PSP3

Species Selection - O03

a)

b)

f)

g)sh),i)

$3.1 a)

b)

Plant species are appropriate to the biophysical
conditions and locality landscape character
Species have been selected for the space
available, visual and climatic exposure, as a
functional component of the design and in
relation to the scale of the development
Species provide appropriate levels of shade and
ht to the occupants and users of the
development roadway access throughout the
seasons

The species selected will require minimal
additional watering as they have been selected
from species currently thriving on site naturally
Road reserve trees provide effective canopy
shade and be in scale with the road reserve and
relate to infrastructure

Street Trees species are consistent with the
locality and natural setting of this specific
development and the developed Lots as a whole.
Species will reflect adjoining developments
species though will be low maintenance and
selected as appropriate for this area and
landscape character.

Species have been selected for specific

uses throughout the development, such as
reinforcement plantings in Buffer/Open Space
Areas, Shade and Feature Planting. Each
species fulfills a specific function and is not
suitable for all uses required. Species will not be
planted near structures that may cause damage
and dangerous species will not be located near
high pedestrian areas. Species in pedestrian
areas will be hardy plants able to tolerate high
levels of activity.

Plant species have been selected from
Woodlands / Open Forest Areas form PSP3.
There are no undesirable species proposed

 

 

$3.2 a) There are no palm plantings proposed except for
some loose group plantings of Livistona species
that reflect existing palm plantings. These
species should be able to be transplanted from
existing healthy specimens on site.

$3.3 Root guards not be required as any species
with potentially invasive roots will not be planted
near any paved or built areas that may be
damaged

 

Safety and security - 04

d) Safe sight distances to and from road corners

and driveway entries will be maintained

Street trees and trees in carpark areas will

achieve a maximum 0.9m clear trunk for a 2.0m

high tree. With a 1.9m clear trunk on maturity.

$6.2 All underplanting to be a maximum of 0.7m from
finished road pavement level (not top of kerb).

06 S6.1

Services and utilities -O7

$7.1 Any landscaping adjacent to substations or
electricity transmission line easements are to be
less than 4m high at maturity and will not
encroach within 3m of any substation boundary

$7.2 Any trees taller than 4m will be planted at least
as far away from the electricity transmission line
as they are expected to be high at maturity

 

$7.3 It is expected that all power connections to
buildings will be underground
S7.4 However trees and large shrubs must follow the

minimum locations as outlined in this section
$7.5 Plantings not interfere with trade access to
service meters
$7.6 Species with invasive roots will not be located
near enough to services to cause damage

 

14.155 Open space areas and road reserves
Road reserves - 023

e) Landscaping enhances the streetscape quality
and natural landscape character of the area

f) Allows for buffering to adjoining uses

g) The functionality of the road reserve is

maintained for vehicles and for pedestrians and
bicycles through a shared pathway system

h) All suitable existing trees and remnant vegetation
will be retained and incorporated into the overall
streetscape sheme

i) Lawn and low planting allows for the opening of
car doors along the roadway

j) Landscaping allows for maintenance and
emergency access to service corridors and

 

k) Sight distances are maintained to and from
corners, intersections, driveways and pedestrian
crossing points

l) Landscaping maintains overland stormwater flow
to avoid ponding to footpath, nature strips or
adjoining premises. Landscaping is also integral
to the treatment and of drainage devices.

$23.1 A minimum of 1 street tree is provided for every
8m of frontage
$23.2 Lawn and low planting only are within 500mm of

the back of kerb to allow for any necessary
access from parked vehicles

$23.3 Street trees are planted a minimum of 1m from
the back of kerb in the road reserve verge

b) 14.156 Environment protection and

conservation

Watercourses and drainage lines - 024

a) Landscaping works along watercourses and as
part of drainage solutions retains and enhances
existing riparian vegetation including understorey

b) Existing riparian zones will be rehabilitated by
revegetation works that filter stormwater run off

 

and improve and provide native wildlife habitat
Cc) Lawn areas have been avoided at waterway and
drainage line edges to prevent mowing damage
and debris
d) Engineering solutions to drainage have been

avoided where possible with landscaping
solutions implemented

e) Natural materials have been used where possible
in order to blend with the natural environment

Wildlife habitat protection - O25

a) Landscaping retains and enhances habitats and
native wildlife corridors by replicating adjacent
remnant vegetation including understorey
vegetation

b) Landscaped areas have been sited to
complement and integrate with existing
vegetation

c) Old trees including dead trees will be retained
where possible to retain hollows for local native
fauna

d) Vegetation links will be created or enhanced
through garden planting between existing
habitats

e) Adverse effects on koalas will be minimised by
not planting koala food species near roadways
and facilitating movement in koala habitat areas

Water Management - 026 - $26.1

a) The infiltration and conservation of water is
optimised through the selection of native plant
species from PSP3 Landscaping Plants and
Guidelines - Woodlands / Open Forest

b) Plants have been group in mulch garden beds
Impervious surfaces have been minimised in the
road reserve

c) Hard surfaces will be drained to landscaped
areas rather than the street drainage system

14.157 Carparking areas

On-street car parks - 029

$29.1 A minimum of 500mm from back of kerb of low
planting or lawn has been allowed for along the
roadway to ensure adequate access from parallel
parked vehicles

$29.2 Street trees are planted a minimum of 1m from
back of kerb in the road reserve verge
