Hi Patrick,

I’m travelling and need to get this information response in before I leave  ( I will be back 4 December ).  Please note there is a Landscape Concept Plan missing from this lodgement, this plan will be emailed to you early next week ( Monday 26 Nov ) as part of the information response in full.  The attached Engineering and amended Plans cover Issues 1-6.     Unfortunately, we had trouble trying to retain all the mature plants and large mature gum on Olivine Street, our designer and engineer tried a few access alternatives however the tree protection zone still could not be achieved.   Our landscape architect who is preparing the landscape concept plan will be recommending significant offset plantings for trees removed on the frontage that will achieve a better environmental and planning outcome in the long term.


Information request Response MCU18/0165 under the Planning Act 2016 - in accordance with section 13 of the Development Assessment Rules.


APPLICATION DETAILS Application No. MCU18/0165
Street Address: 25 Kauri St Cooroy Qld 4563
Real Property Description: Lot 27 C 56016 Planning Scheme:
The Noosa Plan (8 June 2018)


Please find attached Engineering and plan amendments in response to Issues  1 – 6.

Landscaping Information Required

7. Provide amended plans showing the retention of mature trees along the Olivine and Kauri Street frontage with boundary fencing located to accommodate the mature trees.


  *   Landscaping Plans are currently being prepared and will be emailed to Council early next week ( 26 Nov ).  The landscaping plan will also recommends offset planting for any mature tree removed.  The  mature trees on the actual boundary are mostly inside the property and cannot be retained as part of the fence design without significantly impacting buildings and infrastructure.




8. Provide an assessment by a certified arborist using the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Framework regarding the works necessary to retain the mature native trees along the frontages during operational works and the use of the premises.


  *   The remaining mature trees to be retained on the frontage (as per plan) will be protected and more native trees planted during OpWks.  Council can Condition a tree risk assessment for the remaining trees if the landscape plan does not satisfy the information request.   Reaffirming the landscaping plan will recommend offset native planting on the frontage for any mature tree removed.  Long term the landscaping and new plantings will improve the property frontage.

9. Provide amended plans showing the crossover on Olivine Street outside the tree protection zone of the mature gumtree.


  *   Retaining the mature gum could not be achieved,  the tree protection zone could not be achieved.    The size of the tree requires a very large tree protection zone.  The age of the tree is a significant risk to persons and property and Council’s liability with the increased pedestrians, vehicles and buildings being exposed to aging falling limbs.   The tree is not mapped in a Biodiversity Overlay it is also preferred koalas are not encouraged into a developing urban area exposing themselves to being hit by vehicles or domestic dog attacks.

10. Provide a landscape concept plan which identifies the retention of the native mature trees in the road reserve, signature landscape trees, frontage treatments, provision of shade trees within the development area and overall soft landscaping provided within the site.


  *   Landscaping Plans are currently being prepared and will be emailed to Council early next week ( 26 Nov ).
