(1)   Several areas of Noosa Shire are important habitat and corridors for koalas. Additional planting of koala food and habitat trees is
      sought in these areas.
(2)   Table SC6.4.6.1 below shows a list of suitable koala food trees which are native to the Noosa area where:
      (a)   P denotes primary food source;
      (b)   S denotes secondary food source.

(3)   The Australian Koala Foundation has listed other species suitable as “Preferred Koala Shelter Trees”.
(4)   Observation has shown the species below marked by an asterisk (*) are particularly well used by the local koala population.
(5)   The taller species of the eucalypts should only be used in large open areas.

SC6.3.7           Landscaping Design Guidelines for Development

(1)   Successful landscape design can achieve a favourable setting for buildings and enhance the environment and ambience for both

      (a)   Existing vegetation,
      (b)   Aspect,
      (c)   Soil type and conditions,
      (d)   Pedestrian and vehicular circulation / access,
      (e)   Communal and private open spaces,
      (f)   Shade and sunlight, and
      (g)   Utility areas.

(3)   Developers and their design teams should also look beyond the boundaries of the site and consider external influences such as:
