there is not sufficient natural regeneration of native species, the areas shall be replanted with
endemic native species so that a sustainable natural ecosystem is restored.
Council’s Conservation Management Supervisor will not inspect the site until 30 days after
the weed treatment and replanting is complete.
71. Vehicular pavements within the drip zone of any of the existing trees on site to be retained
shall be designed as a pervious pavement (such as grass paving cells or similar), as this will
allow water that falls on this surface to penetrate to the trees root system. The pavement
shall be constructed so as not to damage the tree or their root system and in this regard
temporary fencing shall be provided around the trees during construction to help protect
them.
Plans shall be submitted to the Council for approval that clearly show the type and extent of
the pervious pavement and the temporary fencing prior to obtaining a Development Permit
for Operational Works.
72. Where retained tress are located in areas proposed to filled on site (or are located on
neighbouring allotments to the actual site to be filled), there will be a need to prevent fill
material from being placed on the trees root system. To this end the design of the filling
works will need to incorporate terracing around the tree or a similar means of ensuring that
the natural ground level around the trees remains generally the same as existing. These
measures shall clearly be shown on the plans submitted for Operational Works approval and
any drainage required to drain these areas shall also be shown on the plans.
Contributions Towards Council Infrastructure
73. Monetary contributions shall be paid to Noosa Council towards the cost of providing and/or
upgrading various infrastructure at the rates applicable at the time of payment. An estimate
only of the contribution amounts under the current Council policies and requirements is
