By meeting these outcomes, the proposed development aims to maintain environmental integrity, promote

safety, and prevent potential hazards related to earthworks.

Landscaping Code

The purpose of the Landscaping code is to ensure development incorporates landscapes that are
consistent with and protect and enhance the amenity and distinct vegetated character of Noosa Shire; and
creates quality places and spaces. The proposed development meets the following 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.
f) Plantings are of a scale and density commensurate with building height, bulk and scale.

g) Hard landscape features use natural materials such as timber or rock over manufactured

materials.

h) Landscaping enhances visual privacy for dwellings, buffers development and conflicting land

uses, and screens services and storage areas.

i) Landscaping species are chosen and established in a manner that promotes longevity and ease

of maintenance

Through adherence to these outcomes, the proposed development aims to create a harmonious and
sustainable landscape that enhances the overall appeal of the development while being considerate of the

natural environment and neighbouring properties.

Water Quality and Drainage Code

The purpose of the Water Quality and Drainage code is to ensure development is planned, designed,
constructed and operated to manage wastewater, stormwater, groundwater and environmental flows and
as part of an integrated water cycle in ways that protect environmental values, water quality and public
health. The development meets the following overall outcomes sought for the Water Quality and Drainage

code:

b) Stormwater drainage systems are designed and constructed to effectively manage or convey

stormwater in a way that protects people, property and the natural environment.

c) Stormwater infrastructure and treatment systems are compatible with existing infrastructure

and are designed and constructed to be cost effective across their design life.
