9.4.5              Landscaping Code

9.4.5.1            Application

   (1) This code applies to assessable development identified as requiring assessment against the Landscape code by the tables of
       assessment in Part 5 (Tables of Assessment).
   (2) All provisions in this code are assessment benchmarks for applicable assessable development.

9.4.4.2            Purpose and Overall Outcomes

   (1)   The purpose of the Landscaping code is to ensure development:
         (a)   incorporates landscapes that are consistent with and protect and enhance the amenity and distinct vegetated character of
               Noosa Shire; and
         (b)   creates quality places and spaces.
   (2)   The overall outcomes sought for the Landscaping code are:
         (a)   Development integrates landscaping into its design, ensuring building and structures sit within the landscape rather than
               dominating it.
         (b)   Landscaping is consistent with the vegetated character and landscape design principles of Noosa Shire.
         (c)   Development retains, reinforces and enhances existing vegetation where practicable and natural landscape features of the
               site, streetscape and locality.
         (d)   Landscaping creates aesthetically pleasing, safe, comfortable and functional environments in which people live, work and
               visit.
         (e)   Development relies on the retention of existing natural vegetation and natural features for their ecological, aesthetic and
               cultural values.
