       $40,000 fine in Park Rd

       THE word "iconic" is a tad over-used these days.
       But the vista of Noosa Main Beach looking east toward the national park can arguably lay claim to the title, given it's one
       of the nation's most photographed places.
       And that surely places an onerous responsibility upon residents of properties along Park Rd, which runs central to the
       view, to ensure the foliage screening the houses is not compromised in any way.
       So we would all hope.
        But that has been one of Noosa Council's concerns in dealing with an application from a Park Rd resident to build a
        retaining wall and un-roofed deck on his property.
       "It was subject to a condition that the deck be set back a minimum of two metres from the property boundary," council's
       development assessment manager Kerni Coyle said.
       "Council required this setback to ensure vegetation within the property would screen the works and maintain the
       vegetated appearance of Noosa Hill."
        But the resident subsequently lodged an appeal in the Planning and Environment Court.
       During the appeal process however, the applicant amended plans for the deck, increasing the setback and and replacing
       the proposed concrete slab and pillars with a timber platform and posts, giving the deck a thinner profile, also to ensure
       the piers were clear of significant-tree roots.
