                      Coastal Protection
               9.     External design features, materials and finishes must be as shown on the Approved Plans,
                      with no inclusions or alterations made without approval in writing by Council.
               10.    Any rear fencing adjacent to the beachfront must not exceed 1.2 metres in height, be of open
                      construction, constructed of light weight materials (eg. timber) and be dark in colour to blend
                      with the natural landscape.
               11.    Gates must not be installed along the eastern property boundary to gain direct access to the
                      beachfront.
               12.    External colours and finishes must be of muted/environmental tones that blend with the
                      natural environment and low-reflective roofing and cladding materials.
               13.    All lighting must be positioned and managed to reduce sky glow and light spill onto the beach
                      to minimise disruption to turtle nesting and sea-finding behaviour of hatchlings. The following
                      must be undertaken:
                      a.      The number and wattage of lights must be minimised.
                      b.      All lights must be recessed into structures and roof, and directed away from the turtle
                              nesting habitat.
                      c.      All lights must be recessed into structures and roof, and directed away from the turtle
                              nesting habitat.
                      d.      No lighting is permitted on the roof of the building.
                      e.      All outdoor lights, including balcony lights, must be turned off between 8:00pm and
                              sunrise during turtle nesting and hatching season (October – May).
                      f.      External feature lighting to the building must be positioned below 8 metres in height
                              and turned off between 8:00 pm and sunrise during turtle nesting and hatching season
                              (October – May).
                      g.      No upward lights or vertical illumination of the building, vegetation or other structures
                              using lighting that shines into the sky to be used.
                      h.      Where lighting is required for safety purposes (including all corridors above ground
                              level, stairwells, entry points etc.), the lighting of these areas must be activated by
                              proximity sensors or motion detectors with an associated deactivation of the lighting
                              after no more than 10 minutes during turtle nesting and hatching season (October –
                              May). For lighting in other areas, timers, proximity or motion activated light sensors
                              must be used wherever possible.
                      i.      No decorative outdoor lighting is to be fitted to the buildings, open space or recreation
                              areas (e.g. Fairy/Christmas lights) during nesting and hatching season (October –
                              May).
                      j.      Pool lighting must be switched off after 8:00pm during nesting and hatching season
                              (October – May).
                      k.      All exterior lighting must be shielded by a minimum of 30 cm vertical shielding.
               14.    Prior to the commencement of the use, a minimum 5-metre-wide landscaped buffer must be
                      established and maintained along the seaward/rear boundary of the site. The landscaped
                      buffer must comprise a mix of locally native groundcovers, shrubs and trees, planted at
                      densities sufficient to provide a continuous vegetation buffer that protects and reinforces the
                      adjoining coastal dune system.
                      Plantings are sourced from the Noosa Plan 2020 - PSP2 Landscaping planning scheme
                      policy and maintained for the life of the use at the site.
