           (2)       The overall outcomes sought for the protected vegetation overlay code are the
                     following—

                     (a)        to ensure that clearing protected vegetation, in particular significant
                                vegetation, only occurs where it is reasonably necessary;

                     (b)        to ensure that where clearing protected vegetation is reasonably
                                necessary it occurs in an environmentally responsible manner.

17         Specific outcomes and probable solutions
           (1)       The specific outcomes sought for the protected vegetation overlay code are
                     identified in column 1 of Table 3.

           (2)       The probable solutions for assessable development are identified in column 2 of

           Clearing protected vegetation in the prescribed Noosa area of the protected
           vegetation overlay area
           O1 Clearing protected vegetation does not involve the               No solution provided.
              following—
              (a) vegetation listed or referred to in the National Trust

                  scheme policy;

                  ridgeline;
              (e) vegetation the clearing of which may cause or
                  contribute to erosion or slippage;
              (f) riparian vegetation;
              (g) vegetation the clearing of which may have an
                  adverse impact on the hydrology of an area or upon
                  a hydrologically-sensitive plant community such as
                  heathland, sedgeland, melaleuca forest or mangrove
                  forest;
              (h) vegetation which is or is capable of forming or
                  contributing to a buffer between different land uses;
              (i) vegetation which is or is capable of forming or
                  contributing to a visual buffer or a buffer against
                  pollution, light spillage or noise;
              (j) vegetation which contributes to visual amenity or
