response to information request

13       Provide an assessment of the impacts of the proposed development on the
         health and retention of the significant trees on the site and adjacent to the
         site. The assessment must be carried out by a level 5 AQF qualified person
         in arboriculture or ecology with a minimum 10m years’ experience in
         conducting assessments in Queensland or New South Wales.

The engineering and architectural plans have been supported by the recommendations of
Kurt Brown from Sunshine Coast Tree Works, including suspended slab, stormwater
design and retaining wall constructions to ensure the health of the existing trees on the
site.

14        Further explore the enhancement of the landscape frontage of the site, with
          reference to the anchor Paperbark tree and providing a low island of native
          ground covers with contemporary seating features, such as sandstone block
          seating.
15        Provide a properly prepared landscape architect plan which provides for an
          enhanced Noosa-style entrance to the main tourist district addressing the
          opportunity.

Considering the increase in height to provide for flood immunity and disable access – the
existing paperbark is proposed to be complemented with grass for casual seating around
the tree.

Council’s Infrastructure Services Branch have indicated the Noosa Dr pedestrian footpath
is to be finished in ‘CCS Chocolate’ concrete colour. The Architect has incorporated the
Council’s intent and provided for suitable landscaping areas around the driveway areas to
complement the built form, with further small shrubs and landscaping crawlers along the
northern boundary. A preliminary landscape concept plan is provided showing supporting
landscaping, while further detailed landscaping plans and species details are be provided
as part of the detailed Operational Works plans.

16        The layout of the proposed on-site infiltration system is different to that
          previously approved on the site. Any arborist report would need to be
          updated to reflect the proposed design.
17        There is a notation on drawing CD-D01 Rev B on the southern boundary near
          the street that reads “RC BLK Firewall to Boundary”. There is no wall shown
          on that section of the boundary. Is this a drafting error? Please clarify.

The engineering and architectural plans have been supported by the recommendations of
Kurt Brown from Sunshine Coast Tree Works, including suspended slab, stormwater
design and retaining wall constructions to ensure the health of the existing trees on the
site.

The layout plans have been updated to include the RC firewall to match in with the existing
wall along the southern boundary.
