                           (a) riparian vegetation, particularly mangroves adjacent to the Noosa River, Weyba
                               Creek, Lake Doonella and their tributaries;
                           (b) remnant melaleucas and eucalypt trees;
                           (c) the vegetated drainage lines through residential estates; and
                           (d) other character vegetation where identified in Figure 7.2.4.4 (Noosaville Framework
                               and Character plan) or Figure 7.2.4.5 (Noosa Business Centre Framework and
                               Character plan):
               The proposal seeks the removal of 2 existing gum trees and does not adopt the acceptable
               outcome AO5 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code. As such, the proposal requires assessment
               against the Performance Outcome PO5:
               PO5 Development        retains    and       enhances      existing    mature     trees      and
                   character vegetation contributing to the vegetated backdrop, character and habitat values of
                   the local plan area.
               Assessment
               The proposal seeks to remove 2 mature trees to facilitate the construction of shed B and C. The
               clearing works will be necessary and it is considered that the location of the gum trees in proximity
               to adjacent houses, structures and high use areas is undesirable in this instance. No clearing is
               proposed for the replacement and installation of an acoustic fence to the north of the site, at the
               rear of properties along Regatta Circuit.
               The proposal satisfies the Performance Outcome PO5 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code.
               Surrounding Vegetation
               Acceptable Outcome AO7.4 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code states:
               AO7.4          Development respects the scale of surrounding vegetation and maximises the
                              opportunity   for   retention  of  existing vegetation and  incorporates soft
                              landscaping between buildings.
               The proposal seeks to remove 2 existing gum trees from within the subject site and does not adopt
               the acceptable outcome AO7.4 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code. Despite not adopting the
               acceptable outcome AO7.4 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code, the proposal satisfies the
               performance outcome PO7 for the following reasons:
               PO7                  Buildings, structures and landscaping are integrated with the natural landscape
                              and reflect the riverside character and setting of the local plan area in terms of form,
                              composition and protection of neighbourhood amenity.
               Assessment
               The proposal requires the removal of 2 existing gum trees however seeks to establish a 2m wide
               landscaping strip between sheds B and C to the southeastern side boundary. The inclusion of this
               soft landscaping strip integrates the proposed sheds within the natural landscape and protects the
               neighbourhood amenity within Seacove Court.
               The proposal satisfies the Performance Outcome PO7 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code.
               Community Facilities Zone Code
               Setbacks
               Acceptable Outcome AO19.1 of the Community Facilities Zone Code states:
               AO19.1         Buildings and roofed structures are set back:
                              (a) for sites within urban boundaries at least:
                                  (i)      6 metres from a road frontage; and
                                  (ii)     3 metres from other boundaries unless the land adjoins the Environmental
                                           Management and Conservation Zone where the minimum setback is 5m; or
                              (b) for sites outside of the urban boundaries at least:
                                                                                                       Page 10 of 17
