AGRICULTURAL BUFFER PLANTING NOTES: AQUACULTURE PONDS
429 KENNEDYS ROAD

AGRICULTURAL BUFFER PLANTING FOR AQUACULTURE PONDS DEVELOPMENT SHALL BE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE NOOSA PLAN LANDSCAPING CODE & THE NOOSA PLANNING SCHEME
POLICY 3 - LANDSCAPING PLANTS GUIDELINES.

1. BUFFER AREA

THE BUFFER AREA SHALL BE PLANTED ON THE NORTHERN BOUNDARY AND BE 10m IN
WIDTH.

2. PLANTING DETAILS

SPECIES SELECTED TO BE GENERALLY FAST GROWING, PROVIDE SHADE & SCREENING TO
NEIGHBOURING PROPERTIES. SPECIES DENSITIES WILL BE TREES PLANTED AT 3m SPACINGS.

3. SITE PREPARATION

. FINALISE EARTHWORKS & CIVIL WORKS AND ENSURE BUFFER AREA IS GRADED,
TOPSOILED, FERTILISED AND MULCHED AS REQUIRED (BY CONTRACTOR).

. REMOVE ANY ONSITE RUBBISH. (BY CONTRACTOR)

. ENSURE ALL DECLARED & ENVIRONMENTAL WEEDS ARE REMOVED FROM BUFFER AREA.
(BY LANDSCAPER)

4. SOIL PREPARATION

FOR BUFFER AREA THE SOIL SHALL BE PREPARED AS FOLLOWS:

* SOIL SHALL BE ROTARY HOED SO THAT NO CLODS OR COMPACTED TOPSOIL IS
PRESENT AND FERTILIZED WITH G88 AND LIMED TO ACHEIVE A NEUTRAL PH.(BY
LANDSCAPER IF REQUIRED)

+ SOIL IMPORTED IS TO COMPLY WiTH THE AUSTRALIAN STANDARD (AS 4410) — SOIL
FOR LANDSCAPING AND GARDENS.(BY LANDSCAPER/CONTRACTOR).

+ REMOVE ANY REMAINING WEEDS, DEBRIS, RUBBISH, GRASS, ETC. FROM BUFFER AREA
(BY LANDSCAPER)

+ ADD TOPSOIL (PREFERABLY LOCAL SOIL) AS REQUIRED, FORM FORM BUFFER AREA
AND SPREAD ANY STOCKPILED TOPSOIL TO FINISHED LEVELS;

+ ANY IMPORTED TOPSOIL TO BE FREE OF LARGE STONES, WEEDS, STICKS, RUBBISH,
MATERIAL TOXIC TO PLANT GROWTH, NUT GRASS & OXALIS, AND DECLARED PESTS
SUCH AS FIRE ANTS;

© BUFFER AREA SHOULD BE LEFT FOR ONE MONTH PRIOR TO PLANTING TO ALLOW THE
TREATMENT OF WEEDS CONTAINED IN THE SOIL AND TO ALLOW FOR REGENERATION
OF NATURAL SEEDS;

+ WHEN CONSTRUCTING MOUNDING OR BANKS, HIGHLY COMPACTED FILL MATERIAL IN
THE TOP 600mm SHOULD BE AVOIDED AS THIS CAN IMPEDE ROOT PENETRATION AND
THE SUCCESSFUL GROWTH OF PLANTS.

+ MAINTAIN MAXIMUM FALL OF 1:2 TO ENSURE STABILITY OF MULCH ON SLOPES AND
ALLOW FOR ACCESS FOR MAINTENANCE.

+ BATTER SLOPES BETWEEN 1:3 AND 1:2. BATTERS ARE TO BE TYNED HORIZONTALS TO
25mm DEEP BELOW TOPSOILING. TOPSOIL AND MULCH IS TO BE PRESSED ONTO THE
BATTERS WITH THE BACK OF THE EXCAVATOR BUCKET (BY CONTRACTOR).

5. WEED MANAGEMENT

REMOVE EXISTING WEED SPECIES, GENERALLY USING MECHANICAL AND CHEMICAL CONTROLS

AS FOLLOWS:

. SPOT SPRAYING FOR GRASS AND HERBACEOUS SPECIES INVOLVES FOLIAR
APPLICATION I.E. SPRAYING THE LEAF SURFACE WITH HERBICIDE. PROTECT EXISTING
NATIVE VEGETATION BY USING SCREENS (BY LANDSCAPER).

. CUT AND PASTE FOR WOODY SPECIES SUCH AS CASSIA, LANTANA, GROUNDSEL,
WHERE THE TREE/SHRUB IS LOPPED AND HERBICIDE IS APPLIED 70 THE STUMP
IMMEDIATELY (BY LANDSCAPER).

. USE GLYPHOSATE MIXTURE AS DETAILED BELOW (BY LANDSCAPER).

a. MIX GLYPHOSATE (ROUNDUP BIOACTIVE — A NON SELECTIVE FOLIAGE
ABSORBED HERBICIDE REGISTERED FOR USE ON WATERWAYS AS IT CONTAINS
FROG-FRIENDLY SURFACTANTS) WITH WATER AT THE RATE SPECIFIED.

b. ADD FULVIC ACID AT A RATIO OF 1 PART FULVIC ACID TO 800 PART
GLYPHOSATE/WATER MIXTURE.

. SPOT SPRAY GRASS AND HERBACEOUS COVER FOR PLANTING OF STANDALONE TREES
AND SHRUBS FOR A 1m DIAMETER CIRCLE AROUND HOLE. USE SCREENS DURING
SPRAYING TO PROTECT NATIVE VEGETATION (BY LANDSCAPER).

. WASTE VEGETATION TO BE DISPOSED AT AN APPROVED FACILITY. WEED SEEDS TO BE
PLACED IN A DISPOSABLE BAG AND SEALED (BY LANDSCAPER).

. REMOVAL OF WEED SPECIES IS TO OCCUR PRIOR TO PLANTING STAGE. IT MAY BE
NECESSARY TO DO TWO ROUNDS OF WEED REMOVAL ABOUT 4 WEEKS APART (BY

LANDSCAPER).

6. SPECIES SELECTION

ALL PLANTING STOCK IS REQUIRED TO BE:

. SOURCED FROM LOCAL NURSERIES, OF LOCAL PROVENANCE WHERE POSSIBLE;

. SPECIES DETAILED IN TABLE ON PLAN 1506-16.

. HEALTHY AND DISPLAYING SIGNS OF ACTIVE GROWTH. PLANTS WILL BE REJECTED IF
THEY DISPLAY “YELLOWING’, LEAF OR STEM DAMAGE OR DISEASE, ROOT CURLING OR
RESTRICTION RELATED TO BEING 'POT BOUND’, OR HAVE WEED SPECIES IN THE
CONTAINER OR NOT IN RECTANGULAR CONTAINERS.

. TUBE-STOCK TO BE A MINIMUM OF 200mm TALL, AND
SUN-HARDENED.

7. PLANTING BY LANDSCAPER

. THE PLANTING HOLES SHALL BE AT LEAST TWICE THE WIDTH AND ONE AND A HALF
TIMES AS DEEP AS THE POT SIZE WITH THE TOP OF ROOT BALL JUST BELOW THE
SOIL SURFACE AFTER PLANTING.

. EACH PLANT SHOULD BE FERTILISED WITH A 10G SLOW RELEASE FERTILISER PELLET
(AGRIFORM OR SIMILAR). THE FERTILISER PELLET WILL BE PLACED ADJACENT AND
UPSLOPE TO BUT NOT IN CONTACT WITH THE ROOT BALL AT 24cm BELOW THE
SOIL SURFACE AND UNDER THE MULCH.

. WATER CRYSTALS PLACED IN HOLE AS PER MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS. AVOID
PLACING UNDER THE ROOTBALL

. ALL PLANTS SHALL BE WATERED IN AT PLANTING (APPROXIMATELY 5-10L).

. BUFFER AREA TO HAVE WEED FREE MULCH 75MM THICK 1m AROUND TREES
