2019-12-11 SM Agenda - Item 1 - Attachment 7 - Final New Noosa Plan - Part 8-10 Schedule Appendix - Clean version

             Re­mulching at regular intervals, particularly in high use areas, will be a necessary component of any ongoing maintenance
             programs.
       (c)   In some instances, landscaping may become Co uncil’s responsibility to maintain (e.g. parks). Landscaping works with
             high maintenance requirements in such areas will not be accepted. For example, hedges are not desirable as they require
             high maintenance and do not form part of Noosa Shires natural landscape.

(14)   Service areas
       (a)   Waste bin storage areas and bin wash down areas are to be effectively screened from public view using creative
             landscaping techniques ­ refer to section (12).
       (b)   On­site landscaping is not to interfere with pedestrian and vehicular access to waste bins.

(15)   Planting in the Vicinity of Sewers and Manholes
       (a)   Tree roots can infiltrate household drains and sewer mains causing blockages and damage to pipes. Nothing should be
             planted within 2 metres of a sewer manhole so that access to the manhole is not impeded. The following species are best
             kept well away from underground pipes, sewer manholes, and water meters:
             (i)     Gum trees (particularly those species that grow into large trees)
             (ii)    Fig trees
             (iii)   Rubber trees
             (iv)    Lilly Pilly trees
             (v)     Umbrella trees (an environmental weed in this area)

       (b)   The following list provides some examples of suitable native species for planting near sewers.
