         Issue – Existing Vegetation
         The Noosa Plan seeks to retain existing vegetation on sites where practicable. Comments in Section 6.2 of the
         submitted planning report are noted but only address the Walter Hay Drive frontage, which is not consistent with pre-
         lodgement advice. A preliminary landscape design is required to demonstrate the full extent of proposed vegetation
         retention.

         Information Required                                               The revised DA Drawings now show the existing trees,

         Issue - Access
         A preliminary access driveway design is required, as this area has a number of design considerations, which may
         include HV electricity cabling.

         Information Required
         3. Provide a preliminary design for the proposed access            a)   The revised DA Drawings now show all the relevant
             driveway that include the following:                                dimensions. Refer drawing D02.
