Issue – Plan Conflicts
PUSH’s Proposed Site Plan (1001, Rev. A) details a tree in the internal driveway fronting Unit
4, reducing the combined carriageway width shown on RECOR’s plans from 6.0m to 5.1m. It
is unclear what impact this landscaping will have on the function of the internal driveway and
how this will be managed.




Information Required
19.        Provide additional detail demonstrating how the proposed landscaping in front of
           proposed Unit 4 impacts the functionality of the internal driveway.
Issue – Landscaping
The Noosa Plan Community Facilities Zone Code (PO28) requires:
Landscaped areas are provided to:
      a) reduce the impervious area and enhance the visual amenity and natural landscape
         character of the area, streetscape and local area;
      b) retain existing native vegetation and enhance buffer areas around property
         boundaries;
      c) suit the relative size and nature of the development and its setting;
      d) reduce the visual impact of large or bulky structures and fencing along watercourses;
      e) conceal service, car parking, loading and service areas of developments;
      f)    contribute to pedestrian comfort through shade; and
      g) screen incompatible land uses.
In accordance with acceptable outcome (AO28.1):
The minimum area required for landscaping is no less than 15% of the site area with the
following minimum dimensions:
      a) Frontage— average width of 2 metres; and
      b) Side boundaries—3 metres width along all boundaries that adjoin land in a residential
         zone
The Landscape Plan submitted does not provide dimensions to the southern boundary
adjoining residential zoned land and the information provided does not address how the
proposal meets the minimum landscaping dimensions required by the Community Facilities
Zone Code.
