The Biodiversity Overlay maps the eastern third of the site as being in the Environmental Protection
Area. Assessment against the overlay is triggered where there is clearing of vegetation. In this
instance, a number of cycads and small ground covers around the pool area are proposed to be
removed. These plants are not of local origin as per the Noosa Plan and do not substantially
contribute to the landscaped setting of the area. Significant landscaping is proposed along the
northern side boundary as replacement for these plants.

Some minor excavation of the site is required to facilitate the construction of the ground floor gym.
The removal of the existing mounding and landscaping in front of the garage results in the loss of
two palm trees and ground covers. These palms and ground covers do not contribute significantly to
the amenity of the area, provide screening to the existing building and are not native to the coastal
beachfront area.
