                               Figures 7 – 9 – Existing onsite vegetation

Noosa Plan 2020 requires a minimum of 10% of the site to be landscaped (being 53.8m2) in the
District Centre zone. Despite the requirement to remove this existing vegetation, the proposal will
comply with the minimum requirements of Noosa Plan 2020, with in excess of 10% of the site
containing landscaping. Conditions have been included in the recommendation requiring a
minimum of 10% of the site is to be landscaped and that existing vegetation is retained, where not
required to be removed to accommodate the building extension.

4.1. Referral Agencies
Not applicable
4.2. Other Referrals
The application was forwarded to the following internal Council specialists:
•    Development Engineer, Development Assessment
5.    CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The applicant seeks approval to renovate and extend the existing veterinary surgery on site, which
remains consistent with the zoning intent for the site. Whilst the building generally meets Planning
Scheme requirements, it does not comply with carparking. The proposed non-compliance is
considered acceptable due to the provision of an infrastructure agreement to address carparking
contributions.
The proposed minor change is therefore recommended for approval.
